There’s a lot going on at Four Points by Sheraton Bellingham. The hotel and convention center located at 714 Lakeway Drive has become a Marriott property and undergone a multi-million dollar renovation.

Recent hirings and promotions by Providence Hospitality Partners, the hotel’s management company, has brought a new General Manager, Director of Sales, Sales Manager, Food and Beverage Sales Manager, Marketing Manager and Rooms Manager to the hotel. Dana Weber, former Assistant General Manager, has moved to Hotel Bellingham, another Providence Hospitality Partners property, as its new General Manager. By elevating many to new roles and bringing in additional staff, the team hopes to make Four Points by Sheraton among Bellingham’s most popular places to stay.
John Burns
The hotel’s General Manager, John Burns, has more than 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry. The Seattle native comes to Bellingham after managing an upscale resort in Telluride, Colorado. He’s also worked at hotels throughout the Seattle area, including the Olympic Hotel Westin and Crowne Plaza/Madison Hotel.
Burns is excited to return to Western Washington. “Bellingham has so much to offer visitors,” he says, “and so does our hotel.”
Erin Divine

Erin Divine, who worked at the hotel for five years before leaving to pursue other opportunities, has returned following the property’s renovation as the new Director of Sales. Divine has nine years of sales experience and aims to increase the hotel’s community presence, ensuring businesses and organizations know how Four Points can help them.
“I love sharing Bellingham with our visitors and that our property is near our downtown corridor that is the heart and soul of our area. It’s what makes Bellingham unique,” Says Divine.
Kevin McEntee
The hotel’s new Sales Manager, Kevin McEntee, has hospitality experience from Chico, California and Boise, Idaho. McEntee works to meet and exceed group lodging needs for corporate and government-based clients.
“The Bellingham community has been very welcoming,” McEntee said. “It’s easy to see why so many people are involved in community events throughout the year. With all of the hotel renovations now complete, I’m excited to share Four Points and all it has to offer with our community members and guests visiting Bellingham.”
Leslie Spurrier

Leslie Spurrier rejoined the Four Points team in the fall of 2016 and moved into the position of Food & Beverage Events Manager at the beginning of 2017. Her position handles the details including room sets and menus for all of the events hosted in the hotel, or as she says, “all the fun stuff!”
Leslie brings with her two decades of hospitality experience, including her time here previously as the Assistant Manager at Poppe’s Bistro & Lounge from 2004-2011. Leslie’s passion for the event industry, her previous event experience, community connections in the event industry and unique perspective on events is a great asset to anyone planning an event at the hotel.
“It sounds weird,” says Leslie, “But I love details … I love working with clients on a plan, putting it on paper, then watching those plans become a reality. Whether it is setting our ballroom for a tradeshow, or working with a local nonprofit on how to best utilize the space and plan their menu so their fundraising efforts can be maximized. It makes my heart happy to see the event unfold, and even happier when we can build on that year after year!”
Matt Lesinski
Matt Lesinski is the hotel’s Marketing Manager, a newly created position with the goal of creating a strong and cohesive voice between the hotel, its many services, and engaging with the community.
Lesinski returns to Bellingham after serving as the Associate Director of Marketing at ACT Theatre in Seattle. Make no mistake, Lesinski is no stranger to Bellingham. With his background in arts management, including local work with Mount Baker Theatre and The Upfront Theatre, he is eager to work within the community once again.
“My role is about embracing what we’re doing, creating greater awareness and getting people more involved within the community,” he says of the job. “We have an amazing team, full spectrum of services to offer, and I am thrilled to amplify the efforts for Four Points.”
Kaylyn Stewart

Kaylyn Stewart has worked at the hotel since 2015, helping the property through its conversion and rebranding. Recently promoted to Rooms Director, Stewart began her hospitality career after graduating from the University of Colorado with a degree in recreation and tourism management. She began at Hotel Colorado, another Providence Hospitality property, first as Executive Sales and Catering Manager, and later as Director of Revenue.
When she decided to move away from Colorado, she took a chance on Four Points by Sheraton Bellingham. She doesn’t regret it. “I immediately fell in love with the people and the atmosphere here,” she says.
Four Points by Sheraton Bellingham Hotel and Conference Center has 132 guest rooms, two restaurants (B-Town Kitchen and Chinuk), an indoor pool, fitness area and 14,000 square feet of meeting space. For more information, visit fourpointsbellingham.com.
