Chrysalis Inn & Spa Bellingham, Curio Collection by Hilton

The Chrysalis was a great hotel and location as our family gathered for a wedding in July. The wedding was on the Schooner Zodiac which is docked near the Chrysalis. The hotel provided family dinner and brunch before and after the wedding. The setting for the meals was lovely - indoor as well as outdoor options for seating, with views of Bellingham Bay. The out of town guests were in awe of the beauty of the PNW.

This is an overpriced hotel with staffed untrained in the realm of 4+ star hotel etiquette. Though the hotel have provide a spa, business center and fitness center, the general experience is subpar. They do not offer complimentary water or standard vanity kit, coffee but no tea, and the mattress was subpar for this pricing. No valet service. The website does warn about the train, and they do offer ear plugs, but the train is LOUD and goes well into the early hours of the morning (3 am). Wearing the earplugs I still woke up multiple times due to noise. Do be aware that half the venue is shut to hotel guests if there is an event renting space. I checked out early. When I alerted the front desk that the daily room clean I requested at check in was never provided, the front desk pouted and said they were sorry. Pout and stared. The workers seemed like great people, and I was aware the manager was standing behind them, but that is not the way you handle hotel customer service. I had better service and staff experience (with the same bed!) at the Hilton Hampton Inn by the airport - with the exception of course of the location and venue offerings . I have reviewed and stayed at hotels worldwide for the past 5 years and found the general atmosphere of this venue unacceptable for the level of pricing and 4 star rating. Do not go here expecting a higher end hotel experience. I would highly recommend Hotel Bellwether on the other side of town.

Amazing area in Bellingham! You can walk to the old town and you're also right on the water. It's beautiful!

If you are treating yourselves to a nice stay this is the place for views and comfort. The plush bay side room in which we stayed was tops. The staff were nice and the amenities convenient. A block from the free bus line we could get almost anywhere. A vacation splurge well worth taking on this trip, this Curio was a keeper.

Amazing view from the room of Bellingham bay in all its beauty. Proximity to a part bridge walking path that continues to coffee house and park

Amazingly beautiful spot, comfortable and spacious rooms, huge bathtub with bubbles, patio perfect to watch the sunset

Everything was outstanding. No complaints. Staff at the Chrysalis was very professional, as good as can be.

We stay at the Chrysalis every time we come to Bellingham and we always have a wonderful time. Great staff, lovely and quaint location walking distance to Fairhaven shopping and food. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Really a lovely stay at the hotel, and we so appreciated the comprehensive Dog Friendliness, as we never travel without our senior dog, so it made our trip all the better. Point of note, the trains are very loud, so unless you turn on sleeping music or use the ear plugs they will wake you. We were fine, as we live in the city anyway, but some people may be sensitive to this. The Spa was amazing! Highly suggest the Stone Crop Wrap!

Easy check in, great location with beautiful views and very walkable to restaurants & shopping. The passing trains are a bit loud, but infrequent and only a minor inconvenience for such a wonderful stay.
