La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bellingham
I love the girl at the desk I wish I could remember her name she was great! The guy that answered the phone later on the day really doesn't have a whole hell of personality for this job I don't think. Just my opinion... Rooms were clean looked nice thank you

Hotel Leo
The room was lovely, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and it was dog-friendly, which we so appreciated! It is worth noting that the nearby train horns did sound loudly a few times through the night.

Best Western Plus Bellingham
Clean with comfortable bed, but poor pillows (bring your own), and room was dreary, depressing, bad artwork and decor. Breakfast ok but no whole grain bread, bad sausage. Not enough towels, uncomfortable chair.
