Wonderful Get-Away
Our stay was wonderful and the staff was outstanding. When we arrived and entered our room the was a doggie bed, a tray with a water bowl (and a bottle of water), and a food bowl with a small package of food. Neatly folded on the doggie bed was a doggie towel. Our room was very comfortable, and quiet. Our stay was 3 nights. Our Aussie felt right at home which was very nice. The only downside was that if two people are having coffee there is a desk but no other place for a second person to sit and set their cup down.

Beautiful Hotel, Poor Service
Bathroom floor was covered in someone else's hair(I was traveling solo), Coffee maker in room had old coffee in it Bartender on 1st night was absolutely horrible. My dinner at the hotel restaurant- rice was dry, shrimp were overcooked and the mussels were undercooked They didn't ice any of the sidewalks or roads making it very hazardous. Check in was very courteous and helpful, but after that front desk help didn't show much concern about the issue with my room.

Amazing Stay in Bellingham
The Hotel Bellwether is Amazing. We had a beautiful bay view from a premier room on the second floor. The room was fabulous -- clean, comfortable and all amenities available. However the second day we were awakened by someone on the floor above us walking heavily and rapidly. I would definitely stay at the Hotel Bellwether again; but I would request a third floor room.
