The Apothecary Spa Tours

Close to everything

Right next door to Fred Meyer, so that's convenient. Starbucks across the lot. Plenty of parking. Clean rooms. Free breakfast. I'd stay here again.

I've been coming up to Bellingham for tattoo appointments so need somewhere to stay that's close to the studio for just a night or two and Hotel Leo is perfect. It's very close to everything downtown (one of the only hotels that is really), there is a decent sized parking lot which makes parking a breeze, and all of the great dining options are within walking distance. The rooms themselves are HUGE, I'm pretty sure these were converted from apartments of some sort so you get a lot of space and the bathrooms are newly renovated. I've worked from the room a few times and it's prefect for that. The staff is very friendly every time we check in and out, and has accommodated a later check out for us on a couple of occasions. The hotel bar is cute, styled in the prohibition, swanky art deco style with good cocktails, wine and small plates. There are some fun common spaces in the building including a patio, a cool library room, and a 'common room' with games like shuffle board.
