"The lobby smelled when we first went it. The one guy practically accused me of stealing towels. We had 1 towel in our room and went to front desk and he basically accused me of stealing for I had not mentioned it sooner. The guy that checked us in was nice, but the guy in the morning was rude and disrespectful. The bed was ok and the area was quiet but the lobby smelled and the staff was not helpful or nice at all"

Top Bellingham Hotel Reviews

Bay City Inn

8/10 Good

"A totally acceptable place to crash for the night. It's an older build with facilities mostly maintained. More importantly, everything seemed sufficiently clean, supplies were stocked, the staff were super helpful and personable, and it's right off the highway. I would stay here again. Hit the diner just down the street for a REALLY old experience."

Baymont by Wyndham Bellingham

4/10 Poor

"Honestly review, when we get to the second floor smiled food in the hall way. Seems like some one is cooking on there rooms. And 11:00pm we couldn't sleep of noise in the next door. Seems like someone is living there its not only for travelers. Emagine you traveled long hrs yo expect to sleep. But its not bec. Of the noise of the next door. They should give a quiet time. To respect some travelers."

Oxford Suites Bellingham

10/10 Excellent

"We were looking for an affordable room for 3 adults passing through, and were very pleased by the spacious, clean, and quiet accommodation. Breakfast was decent, with the expected fare. Everyghing was in working order and clean. Didn't take long to get to downtown for dinner or to Whatcom park for a run. Fully recommended!"
