The Chrysalis Inn & Spa Bellingham, A Curio Collection

This is an overpriced hotel with staffed untrained in the realm of 4+ star hotel etiquette. Though the hotel have provide a spa, business center and fitness center, the general experience is subpar. They do not offer complimentary water or standard vanity kit, coffee but no tea, and the mattress was subpar for this pricing. No valet service. The website does warn about the train, and they do offer ear plugs, but the train is LOUD and goes well into the early hours of the morning (3 am). Wearing the earplugs I still woke up multiple times due to noise. Do be aware that half the venue is shut to hotel guests if there is an event renting space. I checked out early. When I alerted the front desk that the daily room clean I requested at check in was never provided, the front desk pouted and said they were sorry. Pout and stared. The workers seemed like great people, and I was aware the manager was standing behind them, but that is not the way you handle hotel customer service. I had better service and staff experience (with the same bed!) at the Hilton Hampton Inn by the airport - with the exception of course of the location and venue offerings . I have reviewed and stayed at hotels worldwide for the past 5 years and found the general atmosphere of this venue unacceptable for the level of pricing and 4 star rating. Do not go here expecting a higher end hotel experience. I would highly recommend Hotel Bellwether on the other side of town.

If you are treating yourselves to a nice stay this is the place for views and comfort. The plush bay side room in which we stayed was tops. The staff were nice and the amenities convenient. A block from the free bus line we could get almost anywhere. A vacation splurge well worth taking on this trip, this Curio was a keeper.

This place is absolutely marvelous. One of our favorite resorts in the PNW. The room, the view, the bathtub that opens up to the room and view, the fireplace, the location in Fairhaven--everything about this place is top line. Stay here on your next visit to Bellingham.

My favorite hotel of all time. So relaxing and the staff and management is unbelievably stellar. Kayla and Seth were absolutely amazing with their care and customer service. There is no better place to stay in Bellingham or anywhere!!

Lovely hotel, be aware of train noise The hotel is nice and everything in the room was lovely, but it was not worth the money to me. The partial view room looked onto a dumpster and was above the noisy gated garage which went up and down several times during the night. There is a railroad track next to the hotel and approximately 8 trains went by between the hours of 11pm and 7am, so every time I fell asleep a new train would wake me up again. I was really looking forward to staying here as the restaurant and atmosphere is great, but I don't think that I will be back.

This is our favorite place to stay!
