The staff were very friendly. The building needs updating. Our room was smaller than my master bedroom at home. The tv was at weird angle from the bed, which was the only place to sit. The bed itself is super low to ground, but otherwise comfortable. I'm glad i decided to bring my own coffee pot because the room only had an electric kettle and instant coffee or tea. The bathroom needs work. It's the size of a closet and everything needs to be recaulked. The sink faucet was super loose. The shampoo and conditioner was great and smelled like oranges. I tried using one of the wall outlets in the room and the entire thing just pushed into the wall. The bar/restaurant and pool table area were all closed to us the first night for a private event. The 2nd day we checked out the restaurant and were going to have brunch, but my husband didn't really like anything that was on the very small menu. The menu we found online must be for a different location. There was live jazz music during brunch. But the stage and entire restaurant area looked disheveled and like the whole place was just an afterthought and kind of thrown together. This hotel has a ton of potential, but definitely needs to undergo some renovations for the price they are charging.

We have stayed at Hotel Leo several times but unfortunately I think this will be the last. We have stayed in several different types of rooms some more updated than others. This last one was so old it lost any historic charm. The carpet was filthy and the vanity and cabinets were cheap and reminded me of apartments I had in college. The bed was very comfortable and the location can’t be beat. The library/pool table room is our favorite sport. However we will be looking for another place to stay when we are in town even if it’s a bit further from downtown.

This hotel exudes charm and character. A very well managed boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Bellingham. A very short walk to a multitude of very cool bars and restaurants as well as some good shopping. It’s our second time staying here and once again it has exceeded our expectations.

We lived the ambience of this historic downtown hotel. Beautiful public areas and a clean comfortable room. The platform bed was a little low for my tastes, but comfy. Bathroom was nicely updated. We lived the walkability of the downtown location, near plenty of cute shops and restaurants.

One of the worst beds I’ve slept on in a Hotel! An extremely noisy location with train passing by several times throughout the night and people yelling on the street out front of Hotel until the early morning.
