Great Experience!
We stayed here while on a road trip through the PNW with our dog. We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were so friendly and welcoming of our dog. They gave us a dog bed and some bowls and treats and when we went for a cocktail at the lounge they were so accommodating with us leaving our dog in our room. They just said they would keep an ear out and let us know if he was barking. Now to the lounge! We had such a great experience here as well. We enjoyed great wine and cocktails and wonderful food. We had breakfast there as well and had an AMAZING crab benedict. Best ever. We highly recommend and would stay here again in a heart beat. ❤️

This is such a beautiful hotel with an absolutely wonderful staff. It has an intriguing art collection that invites exploring. The outside walk along the water is lovely. We used it for a boat trip in the San Juans and will be back in the spring to see the tulips in Skagit Valley. The nearby town of Fairhaven had some very lovely shops too. Staying here adds to the pleasure of a trip

Hotel Bellweather is an absolute gem in every way. It was not only impeccably clean, but beautifully furnished and decorated . The food was excellent. The setting superb. What pulled all of this together was an entire staff of smiling knowledgeable people who were a pleasure to interact with. I'm already booked for another trip back to see the tulips and will now think of The Bellweather as my go to place whenever I'd like to come back to the area. Hats off to the owners for such a wonderful job here!!!

We were warmly welcomed by an extremely friendly and helpful staff. The first room offered was totally unsuitable - more like a basement suite than a resort hotel room (116). The next room unfortunately had a gas smell and was therefore unsuitable. However the hotel gave us a third room on the second floor overlooking the bay which was delightful. Sometimes disturbed by people walking along the waterfront but not really a bother. Resteaurant was OK but as everywhere in the Staes today - too expensive.

Lovely waterfront location, easy parking, terrific views from our waterside patio. Delightful, well appointed room with THE most comfortable bed! (I’ll be asking the front desk for details on the mattress 😊) Plenty of dining options with harbor views within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again
