Top South Bay Trail Hotel Reviews

Bellingham Lodge

8/10 Good

"The staff were very helpful and responsive!"

Lavissh Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great budget stay, high walk-score, quieter than name brand hotels around with better insulation between rooms, king bdrm side is quiet looking off to trees quiet rural town setting, double rooms face freeway but plenty of trees in view and light, rural setting so freeway is calm. Windows provide noise buffer. Good to see rooms before to choose for best one, second floors, third floors less desirable. Great coffee shop out the front lobby. Staff was excellent compared to my other hotel stays in Bellingham where they would slam doors, were rude, and did not want to change beds. I recommend Lavissh Inn for budget stay, convenient, clean, light, airy, good service, and quiet space."
