The staff is extremely helpful and kind. I have stayed there three times now and I love the simplicity of the hotel yet it has everything I need. Plenty of places to eat, I got a pedicure across the street, close to the freeway and WWU campus. Love it!!!

Most amazing staff! Excellent customer service! Very nice room. Great complimentary breakfast. The gentleman on staff was incredibly kind and respectful. Very nice demeanor and friendly. This was one of the best, if not the best lodging experience we’ve had in all our travels around the world. The customer service was truly outstanding!! You don’t find this kind of service and great customer service even at esteemed resorts. Thank You for a great stay!

This is a very well maintained property and the rooms were super clean. The bathroom was good sized and had a good layout with plenty of counter space around the sink for toiletries and such. There are a few restaurants and gas stations nearby and it has easy access to the freeway. I would definitely stay here again!

This is a fantastic, reasonable cost motel fairly close to downtown Bellingham. I mostly used the bus system to get around town. Beautiful short hike from the hotel thru Sehome neighborhood, Sehome arboretum over to WWU. The manager is quite nice and always available. Breakfast is as basic as it gets- with just boiled eggs as the protein. Oatmeal, bagels, toast and packaged breakfast pastries. A few alternative milks for your coffee or cereal. Weight room is basic, fairly small, but gets the job done. I would return for sure.

Way better then expected

For just being the two star hotel this place exceed an expectations. The room was clean. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasurable to work with. The fitness center was decent. Perhaps the dry sauna on site was the highlight of the stay. They went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and pleased with the stay.

It's rare to find a hotel property of this age that's so well looked after and where the service is first-rate. Full marks to Mohinder and his staff! The Coachman Inn is located within short driving distances to beautiful Chuckanut Drive, Bellis Fair, and Anacortes (where you can take a ferry to the San Juan Islands/Friday Harbor).
