What Our Guests Are Saying

"We LOVE Hotel Bellwether! The hotel is beautiful, our room is spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean with stunning views of the bay and marina, and the staff is exceptionally wonderful. We really enjoyed the delicious Thanksgiving buffet, and they brought champagne to our room to help us celebrate my husband's birthday. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming to our dog, who is also having a great time! We are already planning our next trip back. Thank you to everyone at this amazing hotel for the perfect getaway!"

"This was a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The hotel is beautiful and located with water views and paths all around. Brought our two big dogs and they loved the place. Every room is well taken care of and you would not guess dogs were even allowed in hotel.Will definitely come back."
