Top Bellingham Hotel Reviews

Oxford Suites Bellingham

8/10 Good

"Greatvlocation, friendly staff, good breakfast, spacious room… would definitely come back."

Hotel Leo

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful, in an older refurbished way. It's obvious a lot of thought and work has gone into the hotel. Our room was spacious, although the bathroom was small in line with how things were built years ago-it didn't bother us. Things were clean, although we found a pair of left behind shoes under our bed. Staff was friendly and helpful, free parking was appreciated. We also liked the coffee and tea provided, along with having a full kitchen. The drawbacks were old windows, (but it would probably be no small cost to replace them), and some street noise, which, with the sound screen on our phones, didn't bother us and didn't continue late on a Sunday night. The odd thing was that we were told there was only heat from 7pm-midnight when the boilers were on. The room was chilly when we 1st arrived and we got some space heaters from the desk when we asked how to turn on the heat. The explanation was that we were on the old side of the building. We couldn't understand how heat could only be provided for 5 hours out of 24, and it's not clear what they do when the weather is truly cold, except provide space heaters if asked-? Overall a pretty good stay"

Holiday Inn Express Bellingham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had notified the hotel of an early check in and they said there was no guarantee because they were booked. Day of arrival the room was ready @ 2:00 p.m. The room was spacious, clean. The bed was very comfortable and I slept soundly. Breakfast was a plus and the coffee was great. Overall I would definitely stay again if I am in the area. The staff were kind, responsive and professional."

Chrysalis Inn & Spa Bellingham, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for two nights in late-August. Very nice room with great views over the water. Great location if you're wanting to visit Fairhaven Village as it's a short walk to the historic center and also has direct access to the waterfront walking trails. Was definitely on the pricy side though."
