This hotel was great but nothing super special. Definitely in a safer part of Bellingham and I enjoyed the breakfast and everything. The comforter was pretty thin though and I did end up cold.

Nice place! Amazing breakfast!

Comfortable room, short drive to nearby food options, and amazing free breakfast. The airport shuttle is super handy. And the parking is reasonably priced if you're flying somewhere and taking the airport shuttle.
