The Heliotrope was a great small motel. Pretty close to the center of town. Not really walking distance, but a bike would be perfect. Friendly staff. Close to RR tracks but they provide earplugs. I didn't even hear the train but, my partner did. All and all a really nice spot at a good price.

Home away from home
Heliotrope hotel is a great find in the middle of a sweet mostly residential area of historic homes with a beautiful park. We were also able to get a bottle of wine at the little market across the street and some wonderful poke just a mile away. Love this unique classic hotel! Dog friendly, too, with a welcome dog package.

Cool, hip old style motel that was remodeled. Rooms were simple, but had cool decor and very clean. Not a lot right next to it, but very walkable to downtown. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again next time in Bellingham!

It was nice that they had coffee ready by 6:00am each morning with breakfast treats. We also enjoyed sitting in the HUB and playing cards with a deck they had available for guests.

Great place for a crash pad. It’s very close to the street so it is noisy if your room is closer to the street side. Great dog relief area and thankful for a dog friendly property.
