Top Western Washington University Hotel Reviews

Four Points by Sheraton Bellingham Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly, breakfast was great and the bar was full. The only complaint I have is that we had a smell of strong marijuana coming from the bathroom vent in our room and spread into the bedroom in the morning and in late afternoon on both days of our stay. I walked around outside the rooms next door to our room but did not notice any smell. I mentioned this to the clerk at check out, so do not know if the problem was ever check or not."

Motel 6 Bellingham, WA

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent overnight stay at this Motel October of 2026. The location was perfect for getting to Mount Baker Theatre for a concert we were attending, and for great places to eat nearby. The owners are amazing. We received a very warm welcome and felt their pride in their newly remodeled property. Lily, the office dog, was very welcoming at this dog friendly establishment. The bathroom was a nice surprise. Better than I have had on cruise ships and in hotels in London and Paris. Coffee is in the office in the morning and while there may be fewer amenities than you would expect in a hotel, our stay was perfect for a motel. Safety is a priority of staff, and they go to lengths to make sure the motel and parking lot stay safe and quiet. We will happily stay there again."

Sehome Garden Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely surprise this place was. A true gem of a place to stay. From the moment I arrived it was warm and welcoming. The room is nicely set up in a way the feels completely separate from the rest of the inn. But still connected to get to enjoy the friendly pups relaxing in the house. The breakfast was better than any hotel breakfast I could have asked for. Every moment is well thought out and executed. I will be returning and hope that more people discover this gem, but not too many, because it will be my go to place when I am in town visiting my son at college."
