Good location and staff were friendly but this experience has led me to reconsider using Expedia.ca as my only booking option. I was charged in Canadian funds by Expedia and paid in full before staying. Then the hotel accidentally charged me after my stay - over $200 less than Expedia charged me. Then the hotel refunded me but because of currency exchange, I lost almost $100. In all I am out $300 through no fault of my own due to Expedia's price and the hotel's error. Will definitely look at other options next time.

The staff at the desk, Speak Easy bar, cleaning crew were always friendly, helpful and prompt with a request. The room was large, comfy bed in a bedroom, updated bath, and kitchen. Very clean. I will stay again and seek a room away from the evening street noise. The earplugs were a nice perk!

Love the hotel. It takes you back to an earlier pre-cookie cutter time. The staff was amazing, they seemed to really enjoy their jobs, they took immediate care to correct a misunderstanding that was really Expedia's fault.

Good location in downtown Bellingham. We had a suite so the bedroom was separate from a living room that had a big queen sized pullout. We didn’t use the kitchenette but it would have come in handy for longer stays. Lots of good restaurants downtown!!
