Lots of hype about this hotel. Granted it nicely renovated in a retro style. However the breakfast was over promoted and I was crestfallen. Sugary bakery products in a plastic bag that looked like they came out of a vending machine. Fresh fruit in a bowl was an apple or orange. We grabbed a coffee and left.

A great conversion of a motel into a fun, sporty place. Nice rooms with good amenities, easy to get in and out of with your bike or hiking shoes. And close to all the good restaurants and brew pubs downtown.

Easy check in, clean room, spacious rooms, and a comfy bed. I love the restored Motel vibe. Close to many things in Bellingham including some great breweries. The coffee in the morning is great. Dog friendly is a plus!

This adorable, boutique hotel was easy to find, had on-site parking and exceeded my expectations in terms of cleanliness and warmth. The young man who checked me in (and was a constant smiling face throughout my stay) was friendly, helpful and full of great recommendations about the area. I wanted for nothing during my stay and would highly recommend both the accommodations and the area.

The Heliotrope is an updated vintage motel. It was super charming and very conveniently located close to downtown. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, and the area felt safe. Walls are a little thin. The morning we left we overheard the room next to us having a very animated conversation. We weren’t sure if it was happy and excited or a fight.

Nice little Bellingham hotel

Great location. Especially if you have a bike to bomb around Bellingham. Service was great and super friendly. My only complaint is that the carpets were pretty gross. Probably time to replace. Also it’s a little pricey for what it is. I’d expect this to be closer to $100 a night but I guess there’s high demand
