We chose this hotel over another less expensive option as it had such great reviews. I looked for square footage before booking but couldn’t find it in the room descriptions. We were traveling and had just stayed a different chain hotel the previous evening. Our room was much smaller and more expensive at this hotel than the night before. I’m not sure why the reviews are so on the excellent side of things. While our stay was fine, it was only just OK. The paint in the bathroom is peeling, there are small holes in the bathroom walls from attachments, the room is small compared to an average hotel room, and we didn’t have the option to sign into our Netflix accounts. I would try a different place next time we stay in Bellingham.

The hotel lobby is ok, it's been updated but in a superficial way. The breakfast area is small and cluttered. The hallways are dark and somewhat dingy though the carpet is newer. Our room smelled strongly of mold. I was not happy about it but since it was one night, I dealt with it. I woke up congested and my eyes were scratchy. The bed was very comfortable and the room was otherwise nice. I let the front desk know that the room smelled really moldy and he said the maids would air it out. I suggested having maintenance check out the AC unit as it may be leaking to cause the moisture and mold. Anyway, I would not recommend and I will not be staying there again.
