Hotel Leo stands out as a well-maintained, historic cornerstone of the revitalized downtown, offering a nostalgic yet comfortable stay with good food, drinks, and excellent service.
You need to take the time to explore this lovely hotel. What a historic gem. We booked a suite that gave us excellent space to visit with our kids who go to Western. Would love to stay again and play pool, hang in the library, watch a movie, explore the decks. Also loved the unique original tile work. Dog friendly!!!!

The room was bigger than my one bedroom apartment! Free parking too. The concierge were courteous and we also had free drink at the bar.
Just be careful and sleep with ear plugs - the train sounds can definitely wake people up at night.

Great location. Excellent service. Very well appointed with minimal decor and “dust catcher’s” —-which greatly benefits me with having extreme environmental allergies. We had a great time mulling around beautiful, Bellingham. Have missed her dearly.
