Anacortes Ship Harbor Inn
The rooms were almost like separate little cabins! It was very peaceful here, and the proximity to the ferry terminal is fantastic. The breakfast was continental, so not a huge selection, but it was plentiful. The price makes this stay very reasonable.

The Kulshan Hotel
Exceptional location, staff and amenities!!! The rooms were absolutely amazing and the little patio outside was adorable. Doggy friendly to boot! We’d honestly give this location 12 out of 10 stars if we could!!

This hotel as well as the airport are hidden gems that make Bellingham a smaller but much better option for flying and staying up north..
