Bay City Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Bay City Inn has been wonderful, and my King bed room is lovely, spacious, comfortable, and spotless. Cable TV and A/C included. And, location is within walking distance to nearby grocery and drug stores, as well as bus lines directly to the city center and bus transit station. In addition, all the staff I have met, including the front desk have been very friendly and helpful. I was expecting the complimentary continental breakfast of coffee and pastries the first morning. Instead, it was surprisingly wide-ranging and abundant - tea, milk, coffee, orange juice, bagels, waffles, toast, jam, cream cheese, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, oatmeal, quality yogurt (Chobani), as well as the packaged pastries : )"

Lavissh Inn & Suites

Lavissh Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Great budget stay, high walk-score, quieter than name brand hotels in Bellingham with better insulation between rooms, king bedroom side is quiet looking off to trees quiet rural town setting, double rooms face freeway but plenty of trees in view and light, rural setting so freeway is calm. Windows provide noise buffer. Good to see rooms before to choose best one, second floor, third floor less desirable hallways. Great coffee shop out the front lobby. Staff was excellent compared to other hotel stays in Bellingham where they would slam doors all morning room change overs, were rude, and did not want to change beds. I recommend Lavissh Inn for budget stay, convenient, clean, light, airy, good service, and quiet space."

Bellingham Lodge

Bellingham Lodge

8/10 Good
"It’s a budget Inn, so it’s not extravagant. The carpets in the room desperately need replacing or at the very least, steaming. Our feet were black whenever we walked in the room without shoes on. The shower was a bit tough to turn on, you have to manhandle the faucet. The staff is friendly, but you cannot make your own waffle during breakfast. You must inform the front desk person to make you a waffle. The breakfast options are: waffle, yogurt cup, instant oatmeal or toast. That is all. Be prepared to go out to eat every morning. Some of the housekeepers make the beds, and some do not. Depends on who is on shift I suppose. Washer costs $3.50 in quarters, and dryer is $2, but you will need to either hang dry everything afterwards or dry it twice, because regardless of the load size, or settings, it will not dry in 1 cycle. Overall, it was fine for what we could afford."
