Great place to stay while visiting son at Western. The bathroom is nice…shower had good pressure and a ledge for shaving legs, in addition to jetted tub. Had a lighted magnifying mirror…love those extra touches geared towards us ladies. Could not figure how to cast my phone to smart TV but that’s just probably user error. Parking in safe garage, several dining options are nice. Easy drive to WWU. Pretty view of marina. Good service. Clean. Comfy bed.

After one successful espresso, unable to determine how to do one more, a disappointment. Would have strongly preferred a standard coffee machine. Otherwise excellent

The property was beautiful, and the staff were all incredibly friendly! Despite a maintenance issue requiring us to move to a different room, the overall experience was excellent.

A Beautiful Location
We had a wonderful 3 night get-a-way stay at the Hotel Bellwether. The service was so friendly and accommodating and the room so nice and comfortable with a lovely view of the marina and the beautiful sunsets each night. Easy access to WWU, Fairhaven and downtown Bellingham. The flat paved walking paths and the lovely park near the marina were an added bonus. We are hoping to return soon.
