Heliotrope Hotel

Heliotrope Hotel is a small hotel at 2419 Elm St in Columbia, a residential neighbourhood about 2 km north of downtown Bellingham. Google describes a down-to-earth place with a terrace, a fire pit and a lounge with a fireplace, and reviewers rate it 4.7 from about 440 reviews. It is a mainstream hotel, not an LGBTQ+ venue. Downtown and the Railroad Avenue bars are a short taxi ride or a 25-minute walk away, so it suits visitors who want a quiet street rather than a downtown room.
