This truly felt like a high end boutique hotel experience. The setting is lovely and the rooms were incredibly spacious, clean, with tons of amenities. The bathrooms though! So luxurious! Free parking in a gated garage was a huge plus and the access to downtown Bellingham was wonderful without being "downtown". We can't wait to come back!

This was my second getaway there. The staff is exceptional, the rooms are absolutely gorgeous, and it’s very quiet and cozy. The shampoo, conditioner, and soaps are absolutely sensational. The only downside was the restaurant. The food was subpar and expensive. I don’t mind paying for food, if it’s worth it. It wasn’t. Otherwise, I love that place. Can’t wait to go again
