Bellingham Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The facility was old, but well maintained and clean."

Bay City Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A friend and I were in town for a Gala dinner and needed a place to crash for the night. The Bay City Inn was clean and comfortable. Perfect for just needing a place to crash for the night. Breakfast was your typical waffles and yogurt. Fine for what we needed. The front desk staff were all nice and helpful. Would stay here again if I need to overnight it in Bellingham."

Wingate by Wyndham Bellingham Heritage Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice place. great staff. I look for three things on any stay... Bed: the bed was very comfortable Shower: nice pressure Wi-fi: the wi-fi was terrible. when I could get on it, it was miserably slow."

Coachman Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff was welcoming and very helpful. The room was clean, and parking was easy. The breakfast was what I would expect for the price of the room. It was easy to get to, and I would stay there again."

Holiday Inn Express Bellingham by IHG

8/10 Good

"Really great place to stay with family! We enjoyed this hotel and they had a great breakfast. The room was a bit on the smaller side and didn’t have the little things in the bathroom that I’m used to having like face wash. I’m sure I could have asked the front desk so that may be my bad. The bathroom had lotion and hand wash and one makeup remover . The shower had the normal shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I will say I do like the Dove brand so it was all nice and smelled good. The kids loved the pool and hottub and it is well looked after ."

Best Western Plus Bellingham

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great time. Rooms were well kept and refreshing. The layout felt up-to-date and not grungy in any way. All the staff we interacted with were so friendly and helpful. Even informing us of interesting places to check out on our trip. Both me and my friends had an overall great experience at the Best Western Plus."
