Absolutely 5 Star trained and passionate staff. Ambience on the water lovely. Comfortable furniture in the room. Nespresso pod machine a super useful addition!..Balcony roomy enough for two. Very solid room..double glazed..Super service and food at the adjacent Anthony's Grill.. Cheers to Aaron at Bellwether!🤗

Ambient lamps, etc were adequate, but room definitely needed better task (overhead) lighting when needing to see everything clearly..like when packing..Need more convenient, accessible and updated power/charging outlets in bedroom area..accessing these on both sides of bed a struggle if not impossible. Fairly noisy air system both behind the wall and in-room system. Elevator very slow to respond. All symptoms of older buildings needing a pretty serious upgrade. Only nag about the location is the fact it's an industrial precinct hike from the cafe and stores district of OldTown..and parking in OldTown is hard...but it's "isolation" has it's own rewards!

The grounds are gorgeous. My husband and I sat on the expansive patio and watched the sunset. The hotel and restaurant staff were excellent. There is a walking path that passes just in front of the motel that goes around the marina to a lovely park. The hotel is just minutes away from Bellingham.

I wish the bathroom didn't have shutters that opened into the main room. Yes, you can close them, but doing so is not as sound- and light-proof as, say, a wall. I'll never understand why any architect thought this was a good design choice. I guess it's supposed to enable you to enjoy the view while bathing, but once in the tub, you are too low to see anything anyway. All this design does is make the bathroom less private and more awkward.

Room was large with separate kitchenette with dining table, a large bathroom with jetted tub. Sleeping area that overlooks a sunken living room with fireplace and lots of seating. Balcony that overlooks the marina and a beautiful sunset

Still have not been reimbursed for an event that was canceled due to rain. Took $80 via credit card at the entry and it immediately started to rain. We were then told it was being canceled. We asked for our $ back and were told we would (several times) but that they "have not figured out how to reimburse us"..??

Location was excellent. View of marina and entertainment from our room

Our room didn’t receive room service until I complained. Then the complaint wasn’t reported to the manager as promised. When I checked out I spoke to the front desk who apologized and credited $75 to the bill. I’m from CA so after paying $3100 for a week I thought that was not great. But it wouldn’t deter me from staying there again. We had a good time.

When I arrived with my Labrador Retriever, there was a dog bed, a bowl with a bottle of water, and a bowl with a bag of treats. So nice to stay where its clean and so welcoming to pets! Will definitely be back. Also the pet fee is $50 per night for under 55lbs and $100 per night for over 55lbs.

The price, even for what it was worth seemed high. Taxes and pet fee brought it from $320 to $420.

I loved the big bed, big tub and beautiful view. I booked one night for myself. I am a married mom to 3 wild boys. Mom needed a staycation!!!! I soaked all night then snuggled up in bed and watch movies while snacking all night. It was a wonderful experience. My next stay I'll definitely be trying the restaurant!

The cable reception. Mine kept cutting in and out. Thankful there was a DVD player. I went out and bought some movies to enjoy for the evening.

All was really lovely. Fine linens, fluffy towels, Nespresso ( I like my coffee in bed in the morning), Molton Brown products…A little refrig available. Cookies, a resident dog…We enjoyed excellent cocktails & apps in the bar. Fabulous sunset watching from the outdoor patios…especially the one with the gas fireplace.

It was a special place for us.

Very nice property w on-site restaurant

Rented a room with a balcony, very nice- except every time I went outside, within 5 minutes a loud vent fan kicked on with the added benifit of blasting warm air on me. Seems pointless to have a balcony if I’m driven off it when I try and use it.

We loved the location and design of the hotel. It was nice to walk around the marina and hotel grounds and enjoy the waterfront view. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Restaurant was delicious and service was great.

Air conditioning was a bit noisy. Price point is the high end for the room.

Gorgeous location, amazing service by front desk staff, interesting artwork, beautiful surroundings and view.

Very expensive for a basic room. Was advertised as having a courtyard view, but we were on the ground floor with hedges outside our window. We found dirty socks in a drawer and also underneath the bathroom vanity.
