The not-so-good: First things first, there is a train very close by. They provide ear plugs, but that's still not ideal. It's not their fault, of course, but I didn't sleep well either night we were there. The rooms are small, especially given the price, and while the neighborhood is nice it's not exactly close to "downtown".

Value: 10/5 Stars. At ~$140 for a room that actually had two complete rooms (bed, 3/4 bath in one…read morefull bath in the other, refrigerator, TV, coffee service in one and microwave in the other) in the heart of downtown on a Sat night, this place gets 10 STARS! Service: 5/5 Stars. Granted, we were "low-touch" guests, but everyone was pleasant, prompt, professional, and helpful. The room was perfectly clean and set-up for our stay. The restaurant staff were very nice and accomodating. Quality: 4/5 or 5/5 Stars. I only took off a star because it is a very old hotel and there are limits to what can do without completely tearing down, which would be a massive shame. You could argue for 5 stars for what it is, but I put that love into the value section. They could perhaps do a little more for a more upper-end feel, but then prices would start rising and charm would start to drop. If I ever have a need/desire to stay in Bellingham again, if I'm on a budget or just want to be walking distance from everything in the downtown core, this hotel will definitely be my first thought. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for this.

We stayed at Hotel Leo on a Monday night and it was peaceful and quiet. The staff were friendly and…read morehelpful. Our suite was up a flight of stairs and down a hall that smelled lightly of cigarette smoke. I don't think anyone was smoking, it just seemed like the smell was maybe coming from the older carpet. I noticed this same smell in the brief foyer before the beautiful lobby. Didn't notice it in the library or the community room though. Our suite was super roomy with a separate living room and kitchenette! We found it to be cute, hip, and comfortable. The mugs even came with bags of tasty tea by Smith Co. and coffee by Makeworth Coffee. Super nice touch. Parking was easy and free in the connected garage. The hotel was in a convenient location close to a bunch of downtown shops and restaurants. We walked to Boundary Bay Brewing (we will miss you when you're gone!) for dinner that night and it was a short and pleasant stroll. We both enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!

Nothing was left out at all, from nice little mini fridge to suitcase rack and hair dryer. The room and bath were updated and very clean. The hotel is clearly not new, but the updates are excellent. The family owned and run atmosphere is wonderful and you can really feel the care they take with their place. The guy at the front desk is very charming and helpful - our group loved him! The pool is nice and very clean but not as large as the picture looks. The building is two stories with no elevator. I had no problem with the stairs but some in my party needed the ground floor. Plenty of free parking, several restaurants within easy walking distance. Breakfast bar was typical of modern hotels but no hot food other than a very nice toaster. Overall, very nice place to stay, highly recommend!

Usually when I feel there's room for improvement, I rate a business no higher than 4*. I'm making…read morean exception here, because the value part of the equation is so strong. We had room #111, which is the closest room on the second floor to the main (lobby) building. I thought road noise might be a problem, but it wasn't really noticeable. In fact, there were only two things I didn't like about the room. There are no microwaves in the rooms. But there is a small one in the hallway on each building's floor, shared by all. Not as convenient (we use it a lot for tea, coffee, etc.), but good enough. More annoying was the amount of light coming in from the windows. There are bright security lights on all night (that's good), but the curtains were not designed to cope with that light. Therefore, the room remains pretty bright all night. That I really didn't like. You can look at my photos for an idea of what the breakfast buffet included (e.g., 2 kinds of bread, 2 fruits, 4 dry cereals, coffee, etc.) Nothing remarkable, but I have definitely experienced worse. Overall, it was a comfortable, clean, and relatively quiet room, at an exceptionally good price. Service was always very friendly and helpful. And the location is centrally located, near the I-5 freeway, near downtown, and pretty close to Boulevard Park, Zuanich Point Park, and Whatcom Falls Park. If I return to Bellingham, this would definitely be my first choice of lodging.

The hotel is steps from a fun water-side walking/running path. Parking is free with a 12 noon check out. It is expensive, though I thought the quality and uniqueness justified the price. The biggest downside is the train track along the water. I slept just fine with ear plugs (they provided them). I know others had bad experience with the staff. During our stay, the staff could not have been lovelier.

It's a 15 min walk from downtown, but we didn't run into any problems with parking in downtown Bellingham. There are plenty of parking spots at GuestHouse. Woods coffee is in the same lot, so it was nice immediately going through their drive through for good coffee. Fred Meyer is immediately across the street so if you forgot anything at home, or need something, it's a quick purchase. The staff was nice and check in and out was smooth and easy. The rooms were cleaned and more modern than the lobby and hallways. It's a dog friendly hotel and we were right next to the exit, so it was nice getting our dog in and out for the bathroom. The shower head could be better. The room felt a bit humid. There was free breakfast in the morning, it's limited breakfast, but it has the basics-- coffee, cereal, waffle, bread, yogurt. You can't take the breakfast food to your room though.
