Top Whatcom Museum Hotel Reviews

Coachman Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I give this property a 10 for value and customer service. The desk agent made sure we had everything we needed for our comfort. He made sure we had a parking space close to our room. Our room was clean and comfortable and we got a good night’s sleep. The continental breakfast was ample and pleasantly presented. All of the hotel staff greeted us kindly and professionally. The property is a little older, but well maintained. We would definitely stay there again."

Bay City Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is just basic and looks under-par on the outside. I was worried when we pulled into the parking lot. However, I was surprised by the room. It was VERY basic but it was clean, quiet and comfortable. A lot of reviews rave about the breakfast but it is minimal. Milk, almond milk, coffee, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, waffles, toast and a few pastries. I did eat a waffle and it was good. We would stay here again if ever in the area."

Bellingham Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I only have one word to describe my stay at the Bellingham Lodge. And that word is perfect. The staff was outstanding, the property was clean. The amenities were nice. I did not encounter a single problem during my day. The price was fair. If I am ever in Bellingham again, I will only stay at the Bellingham Lodge. Thank you for a wonderful day. If anyone reading, this is wondering where stay in Bellingham, the lodge is the perfect choice."
