Old world charm, great location, noisy pipes

Lobby is old world charming. Historic rooms are kinda...meh. The charm is there, but not super elevated. Carpet is kinda...I dunno, old? The water hammer in the old pipes is deafening when you're trying to sleep. But great location! Staff is excellent! Food and drink in the restaurant is awesome! They provide ear plugs for the noisy pipes.

We stayed in the Columbia Suite (room 107) and it was like having our own apartment. Beautifully furnished, with semi mid-century modern decor. Everyone from the front desk to the bar made sure we were well taken care of and had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be back.

Wonderful!

I had a great stay at Hotel Leo. The staff was welcoming and everything was pleasant from check in to check out. I loved the warm pastries in the morning and cookies in the afternoon. The location is charming with lots of good restaurants and take-out places. I would love to stay again sometime.

Wow, what an amazing experience. You will step back in to the historic Bellingham upon entering The Hotel Leo. The front desk will welcome you with warm cookies/dessert, snacks and a beverage station. If you are looking for modern and quiet, this is not your hotel. This hotel holds many secrets of the past ... you will find yourself caught up in the magical whirlwind of the past. We spent our evening at the Chuckanut Brewery, RumRoom and Bellingham Bar and Grill, all great! Support your local business.... can't wait for our next visit in a few weeks! Support your business, I hope you enjoy the beauty of Bellingham as much as we did!

The room we got was very old and not updated. It has radiator heaters that were banging and popping loudly every hour. It’s hard to sleep in that room with all of that noise.

Our grandson is attending WWU, so Bellingham is now a destination for us. Hotel Leo is great, close to the campus and dog friendly. We will be visiting again and agin over the next few years.

The staff were very friendly. The building needs updating. Our room was smaller than my master bedroom at home. The tv was at weird angle from the bed, which was the only place to sit. The bed itself is super low to ground, but otherwise comfortable. I'm glad i decided to bring my own coffee pot because the room only had an electric kettle and instant coffee or tea. The bathroom needs work. It's the size of a closet and everything needs to be recaulked. The sink faucet was super loose. The shampoo and conditioner was great and smelled like oranges. I tried using one of the wall outlets in the room and the entire thing just pushed into the wall. The bar/restaurant and pool table area were all closed to us the first night for a private event. The 2nd day we checked out the restaurant and were going to have brunch, but my husband didn't really like anything that was on the very small menu. The menu we found online must be for a different location. There was live jazz music during brunch. But the stage and entire restaurant area looked disheveled and like the whole place was just an afterthought and kind of thrown together. This hotel has a ton of potential, but definitely needs to undergo some renovations for the price they are charging.

We have stayed at Hotel Leo several times but unfortunately I think this will be the last. We have stayed in several different types of rooms some more updated than others. This last one was so old it lost any historic charm. The carpet was filthy and the vanity and cabinets were cheap and reminded me of apartments I had in college. The bed was very comfortable and the location can’t be beat. The library/pool table room is our favorite sport. However we will be looking for another place to stay when we are in town even if it’s a bit further from downtown.
