“Fun, retro, dog-friendly hotel in a charming neighborhood—who could ask for more?”
We love staying here. The office staff are friendly and accommodating. We like the little amenities offered for our dog’s stay—towels, dishes, sheet for the bed, biscuits. The lounge in the office is cozy and comfortable. The grounds are very attractive and the hotel itself is cool, super-clean, and beautifully renovated. Shower is perfect. The neighborhood is charming and filled with houses built in the 1900s. Elizabeth Park, a few blocks away, is a serene oasis.

A clean, comfortable hotel with a retro vibe. Very nice! It is located in a walkable neighbourhood close to downtown. I plan to stay here again on my fall trip to Bellingham.

“Clean and tidy place for one night”
Just off the beaten track but very walkable to everything and bus stop at front door. If you don’t like walking or using public transport. You do need a car.

“Great motel, excellent location!”
Great motel! We loved the location - there were beautiful treed streets close by for dog walking and we could walk to the downtown in 20 minutes or so. The room was very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting outside to have our coffee in the lovely green space . All rooms are dog friendly and I really appreciated this! The hotel I used to stay in had only certain rooms as dog friendly rooms. Sometimes I would book on booking.com and note that I was bringing a dog only to get there and find the room they had assigned for me was not dog friendly.

“Would definitely stay here again - thanks guys!”
The bed was super comfy, and the staff was really wonderful. The outdoor amenities were really cute - and would be fun to partake in with kids, pals or a partner (I was sadly in town for work and didn't get a chance). The cozy and lobby were a pleasure to grab coffee in - loved the stoked fire every morning! The rooms look just like the photos - no surprises :)

“Great Room.”
Very comfortable. We did experience some road noise but ear plugs were provided. Kettle is available if you ask at Reception. There are no mugs so bring your own. Very spacious room with a good shower.
