Location close to downtown
Michael
I had a great stay at the Heliotrope Hotel. The front desk staff was amazing—they were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and made it clear they cared about making my stay enjoyable. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in a great location for exploring Bellingham. I appreciated how easy everything was, from check-in to check-out. I'd definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Michael
Heliotrope was exactly as advertised — a fun refresh of an old motel. Staff was excellent upon check in & stay was quiet.
Gerald
Interesting and close to everything
Kenneth
What a wonderful surprise. Quiet, clean, cute and affordable. Walking distance to good restaurants, and downtown area.
Tastefully retrofitted—would definitely recommend.

This hotel is awesome! So cute! Very clean and comfortable beds. The yard was fun to play bags in and hang out. Would stay here again for sure.
Philip
The staff was very friendly and explained everything and all the processes thoroughly; the room was clean, quiet, and had a lot of thoughtful inclusions; and the included doggie care package was a lifesaver on our trip!
Ed
Everything was fine. The only complaint I have is I was told a 75.00 hold was put on my Credit card and I haven’t received the money. I am still be charged for the hold.
Thank you Ed
Thank you Ed

Wish they had a pool. Everything was. Perfect.

This place doesn't look that spectacular from the outside but this is a roomy, clean, safe, very friendly place that is walkable to a lot of locations.
Jenny
The staff is stellar! Super helpful & friendly. I absolutely loved the property and my room was ample with tons of natural light. Dog friendly is a huge plus and the morning coffee in the lounge was perfect! Thank you
Steven
The staff for the two days that I was there were absolutely fantastic! Their names are Opal and Louise. The Heliotrope is lucky to have them as employees.
Haleigh
Extremely lovely room and comfortable bed. This will likely be my default place to stay in the area in the future.
Sandy
I loved my stay at the Heliotrope Hotel! It was so charming and perfectly clean. It seemed to sparkle! The staff was super friendly and always ready to help. I loved sipping my coffee and reading my book out on the lawn chairs in the morning. I hope to stay here every time I visit Bellingham.

Nelio
Nice updated stay
Ross
This is a great boutique hotel near downtown Bellingham. Modern, clean, great parking, and near the best coffee - Roam, Camber, and local bakeries. Give it a try!
Rita
Room is clean and feels safe. However, you can hear the train passing in the night at least from the front facing rooms. I suppose that’s why they supply ear plugs. Overall it’s decent.
James
Typical three star place to stay. Cute design, comfortable and clean space. All I needed for my one night stopover
Kelly
Have stayed twice now. It’s been clean, modern, easy, comfortable, and friendly each time!
Lara

I LOVED my stay here. Everything about it was wonderful. The location, the staff (Roger, the overall property. The rooms were very well kept. What I really appreciated was.. no febreeze... no strong perfume smelling sprays or air fresheners to mas
Nathaniel
Wonderful place to stay. Been here 7-8 times and always great time— good folks running it and Pacific Northwest styling way cool.
Susan
Courteous check-in - beyond helpful. Room is great
Tam
The staff was very nice and helpful, room is updated and very clean. It was a pleasant stay.
Kim
Didn’t bring a pet but they do allow them for a fee. You can hear the train going by at night blowing its whistle. Staff was very Friendly and rooms were very clean, could use a comfy chair.
Alan
Staff was very courteous.
Mattress could use a new replacement. AC unit controls need work to function properly.

William
Super friendly staff at check-in, with a great, retro-style space. Comfy, clean, and welcoming.
Candace
Super friendly staff, quite expensive, wish for a discount for WWU parents.
Nora
This cool little hotel is beautifully renovated, comfortable, and quiet. The neighborhood is charming, with the serene and lovely Elizabeth Park only a few blocks away—a great place to walk to with your dog.
Verified traveler
Great place to stay with ur pup. Cute, comfortable.
Alyson
Great customer service. I loved that they had coffee in the morning and small snack bar with beverages to purchase on site!
Carrie
The property was fresh and clean, the staff was welcoming and helpful.
Loring

Lots of hype about this hotel. Granted it nicely renovated in a retro style. However the breakfast was over promoted and I was crestfallen. Sugary bakery products in a plastic bag that looked like they came out of a vending machine. Fresh fruit in a bowl was an apple or orange. We grabbed a coffee and left.
Esther
We will return!
A fun, cute hotel in a great location. It is perfect for us when visiting family in Bellingham.
Janet
Renovated motel that was very refreshing.
Dawn
Clean and walkable (30 minutes) to Downtown.
Brennan
Very acomo
Chloe
Staff was friendly and provided everything we asked for.
Heather
Clean, cute - absolutely the most welcoming place for dogs. They give a generous dog welcome kit, with a sheet, rug, treats, etc. They have a clean, convenient, fenced and safe dog run.
Catherine
Clem and comfortable
A very clean and comfortable stay with fun decor, a good bed and shower, plenty of space and super easy parking. The hotel is in a neighborhood and you can definitely hear some road noise but it did not bother us too much. Free coffee and pastries are pretty basic, nothing special. I’d skip it in favor of far better options in town.
Greg
Quaint, cute, very clean. Friendly staff.
Mary
Clean, comfortable, stylish, easy access
joyce
Very pleasant neighborhood. Good room basic but comfortable
Einar
Motel in a bit of a modern style. Building and room still old. The area is nice.
Sheila
This was a great place to stay with our dog. There is a dog run on the property which our dog enjoyed. It’s also a very convenient location for a visit to Bellingham. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
nathan
Great location and property!
Robert
Awesome
Susan
Really clean and nice facility with some unique touches.
Jackie
We were not aware of the $35 fee charged for our dog. This was an unpleasant surprise at checkin.the staff was apologetic but we would have appreciated knowing the actual cost before checking in.
Jenny
really comfortable bed.
Our room needed a microwave though other than that a great stay

Corey
My favorite place to stay in Bellingham; Close to downtown, fun restaurants in the area and they have the comfiest beds!
Laura
The Heliotrope was a great small motel. Pretty close to the center of town. Not really walking distance, but a bike would be perfect. Friendly staff. Close to RR tracks but they provide earplugs. I didn't even hear the train but, my partner did. All and all a really nice spot at a good price.
Angela
We'll be bark!
Great place! Especially loved the attention to details for our dogs.
Chantè

We enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff, clean rooms and pet friendly. We’ll be back.
Nathaniel
Wonderful place.
Wonderful place. Have stayed here multiple times and highly recommend.
Alan
They did a great job upscaling what was formerly a motel, while keeping its character. Bed was comfy and warm! Great place to stay if you have pets.
Alivia
comfortable, cozy, clean, convenient. dog friendly. good restaurant recommendations
marcy
Nicely outfitted rooms, central lawn area, pleasant lounge area, gracious staff. Nice that it dog friendly. Challenge: mattresses soft on edges so usable surface smaller than size; dog space outside smaller than expected, long narrow run.
Aaron
Clean friendly and nice
Emery
What a nice place! Clean, neat, and lovely! We’ll be back!
Stephanie
Stayed here a few times now, never disappointed. Super dog friendly!

this was a cute little spot to stop and rest for 1-2days.I booked via Expedia and that staff was very communicative until the end. I recommend and will book with them again in the future
Josh
It was very great
Paige

Great revamped motel close to the historic downtown shops, restaurants and breweries! The staff were friendly and the coffee was excellent.
Kathleen
Comfortable! Great for dogs. Love the fireplace in the lounge and outside hangout space
Michaela
Everything was great!
Robin
Home away from home
Heliotrope hotel is a great find in the middle of a sweet mostly residential area of historic homes with a beautiful park. We were also able to get a bottle of wine at the little market across the street and some wonderful poke just a mile away. Love this unique classic hotel! Dog friendly, too, with a welcome dog package.
GLEN
I love the old motel feel with modern upgrades
Laurie
Friendly staff
Kris
The Heliotrope is an updated vintage motel. It was super charming and very conveniently located close to downtown. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, and the area felt safe. Walls are a little thin. The morning we left we overheard the room next to us having a very animated conversation. We weren’t sure if it was happy and excited or a fight.
Kate
Great place for a crash pad. It’s very close to the street so it is noisy if your room is closer to the street side. Great dog relief area and thankful for a dog friendly property.
Shrithika
Good stay!
Josephine
Cozy and inviting! Easy to be in and out with small kids!
Michael
Cool, hip old style motel that was remodeled. Rooms were simple, but had cool decor and very clean. Not a lot right next to it, but very walkable to downtown. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again next time in Bellingham!
Steven
Old time motel
Very nice motel, had the old time feeling
Tyrone
Great location minutes from Zuanich Point Park and close to the cat cafe too. Lovely Hotel we enjoyed our stay. Staff were very kind.
Donna
It was nice that they had coffee ready by 6:00am each morning with breakfast treats. We also enjoyed sitting in the HUB and playing cards with a deck they had available for guests.
Idris
This places suprised--an old school motel frame thats been given some love--comfy beds-spacious, simple, great shower pressure
Karolina
Great quick stay. Very clean. Spacious
Tasha
Comfortable rooms and beds, nice amenities in the lobby and yard for outdoor space and they were very accommodating with providing French press coffee for my very early departure.
Linda christine
We are traveling with a dog and this is a one level hotel that has been thoughtfully remodeled. We had a large spacious room and it was easy to walk outside to either the dog run or a grassy area.
Joseph
Wanted a $50 warlt check in fee at 1pm even though my room was ready. Outrageous!
cheryl
It was a fun community based place. Loved the outdoor common area and their own beer you can buy on site.
Karin
Great place to stay! 10/10, do not hesitate to book.
Richard
This property is such a delight to stay in. So unique, so clean and outstanding staff! Well done
Jill
cute little place. It used to be a motel and they switched it to more of a hotel but it’s definitely not really a hotel. That said, accommodations were comfortable and clean, staff was very sweet
Walls are quite thin so you will probably hear your neighbors but they provide earplugs (can be found in the bathroom)

Wonderful service, quick and smooth checkin. Love the vintage “drive-in motel” feel. The rooms are clean, modern and efficient. Walkable to many excellent restaurants through beautiful neighborhoods. Highly recommend.
lisa
There are a couple of places to grab a beer walking distance. they also have a fire pit out front which is nice on a chilly night.
