First time staying here it’s a historical building. Great location downtown. The only real gripe I had was the beds are practically on the floor, so getting into bed and out of bed was kind of a pain in the ass The hotel staff were great(Caleb and my morning guy who I forgot his name) very accommodating helped me out with my stay

Love the Leo

Leo is a very fun, charming, throw back hotel. The staff is great, rooms are nice and clean, beds are comfortable. The bar is very cool and the location is great, right in the middle of everything but also with parking and it is quiet.

The hotel room was huge, it felt like staying in a large studio apartment! I loved the “home” feeling it had. The furniture was cozy and I was able to get comfortable during my stay. A small qualm I had was that the salt shaker was empty 🙈 and I would have liked more places to hang up towels in the bathroom. A moderate issue was that the WiFi was spotty and a little weak. And a bigger issue I noticed was the train horn nearby was INCREDIBLY loud. It would pass by as late at 11:45pm, and made me a jump a little from how startled I was. For that reason alone I would not book here again! There was the typical town noise, but that wasn’t a big deal. I loved that it was walking distance to Neko cat cafe and Fiamma pizza! The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the parking next to the hotel was really convenient.
Fridge, freezer, microwave, stove, oven, and there was also a sink and kettle
There was also another round sofa
Tv is also in the living room

I always stay here when I go to Bellingham. There is nowhere else with a better location, the staff is amazing. It's an old hotel, so it's got its own personality, but I love that.

The room was clean - tiny bathroom, which wasn't a big deal. Picked my bag up off the floor to leave and there were about 50 little ants hiding under it, which was disgusting. The staff were all super-friendly - cute place other than the ants!
