10/10 Exceptional

Was a beautiful historic hotel in a perfect rental location in downtown Bellingham. Good food and drinks, very helpful and friendly staff, and onsite parking.
Alexandra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant experience. The room was huge and comfortable
Victor, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Old world charm with modern convenience

Delightful hotel. Our room was actually a double connected to a single with not one but TWO bathrooms. Granted that the 2 small bathrooms together would make one regular size bath. It was very clean, quiet, with comfortable bed. Local coffee provided. It has old world charm with modern convenience and a great downtown location.

The hotel was in a great location and the staff were friendly and helpful.

A "Historic" Joke of a Hotel

This "historic" hotel is a joke. The suite rooms have a portable AC unit, the room smelled like my grandma's house (which makes sense since this was a retirement home before it was a hotel), the bathroom was insanely tiny for a 600sqft room and extremely uncomfortable. Besides the convenience to downtown, this hotel is not worth the rate. They took a historic retirement home building and turned it into a hotel with as little effort as possible.

8/10 Very good

Very nice location and comfortable rooms.
T, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I always stay here when I go to Bellingham. There is nowhere else with a better location, the staff is amazing. It's an old hotel, so it's got its own personality, but I love that.
Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel, inconsistencies

Hotel is beautiful. Room was spacious and comfortable, the only thing that wasn't great was that it was next to the patio and the door was very loud everytime people went in and out (it's slam hard right on the other side of the wall from the bed) and the only window was covered in frosted window cling so I couldn't see outside at all. Housekeeping was weirdly consistent (bed made one day, but the next, glasses/utensils never washed, only part of the coffee replenished, all towels replaced even when hung up), but the room was clean.
Anna, 3-night trip

We loved our stay!! Would love to stay again!!

Love the Leo

Leo is a very fun, charming, throw back hotel. The staff is great, rooms are nice and clean, beds are comfortable. The bar is very cool and the location is great, right in the middle of everything but also with parking and it is quiet.
Keely, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

LOVE the Hotel Leo. Central to everything, hip and friendly.
Benjamin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

First time staying here it’s a historical building. Great location downtown. The only real gripe I had was the beds are practically on the floor, so getting into bed and out of bed was kind of a pain in the ass The hotel staff were great(Caleb and my morning guy who I forgot his name) very accommodating helped me out with my stay
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a great place to stay in the heart of downtown Bellingham.
Paul, 1-night trip

A spacious suite in a charming, older hotel. Very comfy bed, very clean space with nice fixtures, friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again!
TAI, 1-night trip

Wonderful stay. There’s a slight smell from the building being old. Open the window. That helps.
Allen, 2-night trip
