Chrysalis Inn & Spa Bellingham, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for two nights in late-August. Very nice room with great views over the water. Great location if you're wanting to visit Fairhaven Village as it's a short walk to the historic center and also has direct access to the waterfront walking trails. Was definitely on the pricy side though."

Lavissh Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Clean & comfy bed with good breakfast. Only disappointment was when we open the cupboard where microwave & refrigerator are, smelled real bad, It wasn’t the appliances, the shelving & drawers. I closed the doors real fast & open the window. Also there was no screen on the window."
