All the staff that we interacted with were very nice, the place needs a good scrub down, fresh coat of paint, breakfast was ok, my husband has some mobility issues so the small bathroom was a little difficult for him, parking spaces were tight, it was nice to have an elevator since we were on the second floor

The hotel was clean, the staff was very pleasant and the breakfast was adequate. It is a good value but it is not perfect. There are a few stains and bleach marks and the furniture is peeling. I would stay here again to save money.

Just a basic hotel to stay at on you way through Bellingham. Stay on the west side facing units to avoid I5 traffic noises if you open the windows.

travel safety

Everyone was very friendly and courteous. I did have to explain to the person at the desk that they should NEVER say the room number out loud at check in. It's not safe. I haven't run across a place that doesn't know that in 30 years. The breakfast was good also. The beds are very hard.
