Baymont by Wyndham Bellingham

8/10 Good

"Great place if you are looking for a bed at at economical price."

Best Western Plus Bellingham

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast that stayed open till 10:00 am!! Lots of parking in a wonderful safe area. Rooms all had microwaves which I thought was so wonderful! And check out was noon, and also they gave you bottled water whenever u need it….. it bothers me when I have to purchase bottled water after paying for my hotel room!! These may be small extras but they all add up to a hotel that really cares about its clients!! When ever I can I try and stay with a big hotel chain and I find best western to have the best bang for your buck ❤️ staff was on top of everything from smiles to making sure the grounds were very clean殺 one more thing I was able to do laundry half way thru my 12 day road trip…….HUGE BONUS !!!"

Heliotrope Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location outside of the downtown close to some restaurants. The conditioner was out in my shower and there were no coffee cups in my room. The noise from adjoining rooms was noticeable and I made use of the provided ear plugs. Rooms were very spacious but a bit dim."

Spacious Family Home in Elizabeth Park: Parlor, GameRoom, Gazebo, Big Kitchen!

10/10 Excellent

"Host was very accommodating & always replied quickly. The home is equipped for all ages in a family. Lots of toys & books for little ones plus lots of boards games for all ages. The backyard was very relaxing for adults & fun for kids. Additionally, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you needed to cook with. We would go back again if ever in that area."

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."
