And what a birthday it was! My wonderful man reserved the lighthouse suite for my birthday! (I wish I had photos to share, but they're in print... not digital.) The lighthouse it 3 floors and it was more than home away from home. The Agent at the front desk, Erin, made our experience "home away from home"... only better. So,... More

My children gave me a gift certificate for my birthday. My partner and I were very excited to go. I know my children spent much hard earned money to pay for our deluxe top of the line room Arrogance was definitely a way to describe how we were treated. I checked in with my credit card for incidentals as they... More

I have been travelling professionally every week since 1994. I understand the myriad of things that can go wrong and are unvavoidable in the travel industry. Even so, this weekend we had an experience with the Bellweather I would have thought unimaginable. I booked the hotel a few days back to bring my wife to visit our project site before... More

After driving four and a half hours to get to the hotel, we were told that we did not have an ocean view. I explained that I did booke an ocean view room. I was rudely told sorry you don't get one because it's not on the books. I was shocked how rude the blonde female reservation clerk was to... More

December was a tough, exhausting month for us, and our family situation meant that this year we had our big family dinner and celebration on the 18th. So we decided that rather than rattle around our quiet house we would get away for a few days when 'real' Christmas arrived. We chose Bellingham mainly because we were concerned about the... More

The restaurants nearby were good. Try Anthony's Grill. Good food, good price. Hotel a little outdated. Feels like you're staying at Grandma's place. More

We visit Bellingham frequently to see my family, and had stayed here a couple of times before. We brought our little dachshund with us, and booked a "Pets Welcome Package" for an extra charge. However, despite greeting our dog upon check-in, there was nothing in our room for the dog. We called the request it, and they apologized but it... More

We stayed at this hotel for three nights while on business in the area. After returning home we discovered massive charges on our credit card. The hotel had overbilled by $1000 and the restauraunt charged us $1600 for breakfast. The restaurant was quick to correct the situation. The manager explained what happened and offered a discount for future visits. The... More

The Bellwether almost feels like an inn, but it is a fully functional business hotel. The location is the nicest in Bellingham. I found it remarkably quiet and even peaceful in the morning. The room was spacious and well designed. More
