Top Marine Life Center Hotel Reviews

Oxford Suites Bellingham

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is even better than the last time I was there a few years ago. It's very clean, very quiet, and the rooms are pretty comfortable. The toiletries are subtly fragranced (so they didn't make me choke). I would ask for brighter lighting, and perhaps some USB-C charging outlets as opposed to USB-A. I would also ask that the thermostat allow for turning down the temp to 63 if possible, as hotel rooms get hot and stuffy pretty quickly. Every staff member I encountered was cheerful, professional and helpful. Overall a great experience."

Lavissh Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Easy, clean and helpful. Recommended some very good places to eat and conveniently located near the downtown area. Great breakfasts too! Very pleased!!"

Luxurious Family Oasis in Fountain District, Walking Distance to Cafes & Parks

"Had a great time, beautiful home!"

Extended Stay Gem in Columbia - Walk to Parks

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the years, and Emma and her Stay Bham team are hands down the best hosts you could ask for. They went above and beyond to make sure that our 47 night stay was everything we wanted it to be. The unit itself was very nice and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, everything was very clean, and the TV and appliances all seemed very new. Everything worked as it should. The park and dog park just down the hill that provided trail access to walk to the pier which we did almost daily. Check-in and check-out were also very easy. We would definitely recommend staying at this property."
