The Chrysalis Inn & Spa Bellingham, Curio Collection by Hilton - Hotel in Bellingham - 804 10th St, USA

We had a fantastic stay. The customer service was excellent from all of the staff, our room was very clean and luxurious, and the restaurant downstairs is amazing. And of course you can’t beat the stunning view of the harbour and sunset. We will definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing getaway.

We celebrated our son’s and daughter-in law’s wedding here that had taken place across the country a week earlier. We invited thirty family members and close friends. ||Chris Caldwell, the Director of Sales, Catering and Marketing was absolutely terrific to work with. She had a lot of great suggestions that made our event so special. We had appetizers, a buffet (steak and salmon) and an open bar. It was all delicious and the berry cobbler was spectacular. ||The setting of the Chrysalis/Keenan’s is magical. We had four large tables set up inside and the entire terrace for mingling and admiring the sunset. ||It was an amazing experience.

Warm and inviting location on right on the Bellingham Bay. Walking in, the lobby is small but you enter through a small lounge and look right onto the bay. Front desk personnel were friendly but upon arrival after normal check-in time, our room (as well as the rooms of other guests) was not ready. We waited in the lounge area and were notified shortly that our room was available. In terms of location, you really can't beat this spot. The bay view, the proximity to nearby shops and restaurants of Fairhaven Village, and the small size of the hotel lend itself to a pleasant experience. One note about location - the train runs through very often. While it is quaint, just be content with hearing the train whistle, even during the night. Our room was overlooking the bay, which meant it also overlooked the train tracks. We didn't mind the noise, but it did wake us up during the night on two occasions. ||The room itself is a very ample size and had a window seat overlooking the water and pier. Great for people and boat watching! Everything was very clean. Linens were tidy, clean, and fresh. Food at the hotel restaurant was good, too!||The one downside of this stay was the parking situation. Guests are required to park in the underground parking lot (under the hotel). The parking spots are small, barely fit a normal sized vehicle, and there were only about a dozen or so parking spots total. All of those things, coupled with the location of support beams in the garage, made parking a vehicle an exercise in frustration.

Beautiful place with large rooms for getting ready. As a hair and makeup artist that specializes in weddings of large groups, these rooms had lots of space, electrical outlets, and stunning views. It does have a small elevator for hauling up all you need and lots of light.

This hotel is next to a train track, and we found the trains quite disruptive one of the nights even with earplugs. This is not really the hotel's fault but just something to be aware of. The mattress was also very firm for us and we had to get creative to make something comfortable. There were a number of other minor problems with the room. On the plus side, the service was great, and the short walk to Fairhaven for food was really convenient.

Do not recommend staying here. Major train track runs along side of hotel. Trains run all night about one per hour. Very very loud!! Open parking with no security in basement. Spa was totally booked so visit here was a miserable disaster for me. Surprised this place is associated with Hilton. This is more like a motel 6 acting fancy. See pics.

My suite the first night had debris on the floor at check-in. We had to have them vacuum before we could unpack. We were told they didn’t allow pets on the upper floors but we did see an untrained non-service dog on the third floor. |They were sold out so we had to change rooms the second night to a smaller king room. This room had a malfunctioning air conditioner which didn’t cool correctly and the absolutely worst shower head I have ever had at any hotel. Difficult to get the soap off with the meager 1” wide stream. We complained about both issues to the manager but all they said is that they planned on replacing the shower heads in the future.|We are Hilton Honors Gold and frequently seek out and stay at Curio properties. Management’s apathy at this property and unwillingness to make any accommodation was a big exception to our typical experience at other Hilton Curio properties. Never a smile or a welcome from the manager of this property. We were told they are always sold out so I guess the customer experience is irrelevant at this property.

Positive: The complimentary eucalyptus steam room was our absolute favorite. As always, we felt pampered in every way, from the delicious restaurant (and robes!) to the friendliness of all staff (front desk, restaurant and especially in the spa). Negative: The room was absolutely divine - but splurge if you can for the rooms with full views - we opted to go with a 'partial view' and it was a room on ground floor near the road- we had to keep the window blinds shut the entire time for privacy. Negative: ""
