- Paul (10/5): Comfortable stay with nice walking path - Great location with the walking paths along the harbor and beautiful views, if the weather is clear. Friendly staff. Protected parking is nice. We had a nice large room. Limited breakfast menu.

- Anne (10/5): Don’t hesitate to book your night . You’ll be so happy you did ! - Lovely ! Location was great. Walking trails along the water. Our room was wonderful with lots of space and top level amenities including a fireplace and private deck. We brought our dog and the staff were so welcoming to our pup. They provided a dog bed and had water and feed dishes for us. We’ll be back to the Bellwether ! Not one thing !
- gus (10/5): Decor was beautiful, lovely staff worth every dollar spent - Absolutely beautiful, lovely location

- Diane & Kenneth (9/5): Very relaxing and comfy. - Very comfy and convenient to candlelight show. Parking below was convenient to the elevator to take floors above for luggage, without help. Loved the water view, and fireplace in the room and the pub! Very much enjoyed the Halibut fish & chips at the restaurant. My only complaint is that I wish the restaurant would have been open an hour longer for the 6:30 show people to have dinner after the show, without rushing & ordering ahead.
- shannon (2/5): - Very comfortable beds, nice views. The staff is not very friendly or accommodating for the price you pay. Their credit card machines weren't running, so we couldn't use the card we wanted. We also had a late night emergency and they didn't seem to care.
- Amanda (9/5): -
- Joshua (10/5): We’ll be back! - Very comfortable and quiet. Excellent food. Great staff.
- Dylan (10/5): -
- Kali (7/5): - The rooms are great, the bath tub is nice. The sliding door that opens from the room to the bathtub wouldn't close.
- Kari (9/5): Location Location Location! - The view is stunning and the location is perfect! We came last minute to visit our daughter over Thanksgiving. The only restaurant open required reservations and was sold out. All other restaurants onsite were closed. The rooms could use some updates. Light bulb out in bathroom, curtains were dirty.
- April (8/5): Really enjoyed the outdoor spaces, fire pits and walkways. Would stay again. - Location was great. Waterfront walkway was a nice surprise. Many local restaurants in walking distance. Booking. Com basically seems to mean cheapest rate hence, less desirable room location. Directly next to elevator and right over the lobby roof.
- Harutyun (10/5): -
- Jamie (9/5): -
- Kim (10/5): It was very relaxing - We didn't participate in the breakfast. The hotel room was beautiful. I would have rather been on the upper floors then on the ground floor but that happened by chance. The room was quiet and the jetted tub was great! being on the bottom floor

- Debra (9/5): Classy and comfortable in a beautiful location. - We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Bellwether. It was classy and low-keyed in a good way. We had drinks, breakfast and dinner at the hotel and both the cocktails and food was excellent. Service was always prompt and gracious. The location is absolutely gorgeous and we loved that there is a great walking path with beautiful scenery. Parking was easy. The room was very comfortable and roomy. I would highly recommend this place!

- Jessica (10/5): - Great place to stay while visiting son at Western. The bathroom is nice…shower had good pressure and a ledge for shaving legs, in addition to jetted tub. Had a lighted magnifying mirror…love those extra touches geared towards us ladies. Could not figure how to cast my phone to smart TV but that’s just probably user error. Parking in safe garage, several dining options are nice. Easy drive to WWU. Pretty view of marina. Good service. Clean. Comfy bed.
- Simon (9/5): Superb -
- Barry (4/5): Disappointing - Great staff. Fabulous location. Food in the restaurant was excellent. We've stayed here many times before and will return. A few maintenance issues interrupted our stay. The staff tried to get solutions for us. A/C didn't work and drains in bathroom clogged. The staff was very responsive to trying to get things working. A/C unit failed and needed to be replaced which couldn't happen during our stay.

- Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely - Beautiful hotel, although front desk crew was a bit off & could work on being warmer & more customer service oriented. Otherwise great stay, and will stay again when in the area.
- Denny (10/5): A Beautiful Location - We had a wonderful 3 night get-a-way stay at the Hotel Bellwether. The service was so friendly and accommodating and the room so nice and comfortable with a lovely view of the marina and the beautiful sunsets each night. Easy access to WWU, Fairhaven and downtown Bellingham. The flat paved walking paths and the lovely park near the marina were an added bonus. We are hoping to return soon.
