Top Bellingham Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Bellingham by IHG

8/10 Good

"I’m glad to see they updated the photos on their profile, because when we booked it, the photos made it seem like it was in the middle of/near a golf course. I guess we could’ve looked at a map, but it was the main picture on Hotels.com at the time, so we didn’t think much of it. It was very misleading. Otherwise, it was exactly like every other hotel in this chain that we’ve stayed at. The breakfast was like your typical chain hotel breakfast. Parking was a little weird because it’s in a business plaza, but wasn’t any trouble for us since we were here on a weekend. Good option if you want a reasonably priced place in the area."

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."
