Four Points by Sheraton Bellingham Hotel & Conference Center
4/5102 Reviews
I'm a snobby Ambassador, and wasn't happy that I had to stay at a Four Points when in Bellingham WA last week. What a Great Surprise I found at this property. To be clear..it isn't a Ritz, but the room was very clean. Nicely appointed. Had a K-Kup Coffee Machine, Microwave and a nice size refrigerator with full freezer. The bathroom was nicely appointed, and the shower was strong. This property had two separate restaurants to chose from. B-Town featured not only Indoor Seating, but a vey cool outdoor patio with a variety of seating options. Low tables, high bar style tables, and multiple Fire Pits with table seating around them. Probably the best ”Hotel Food” I've had in 20 years. The Brussel Sprouts were roaster perfectly. I can't be totally sure, but I believe the Fried Calamari must have been hand cut from a steak, then breaded and fried perfectly. I had a Veggie Burger, and my companion did the Fish and Chips. A+ Breakfast was served in yet another space. Nice choice of traditional cooked breakfast, but I was able to eat well with Stone Cut Oatmeal, yoghurt and fruit, etc. There is a Fred Meyer Grocery store in the shared parking lot, so easy to get water, and snacks. You'll be happy you stayed here!

Before arrival i requested a double bed room for two nights. Upon arrival I was told my room was double booked and I had to get a single bed room for 4 people. Then magically a two bed room was available after complaining. I was then told that my card had to be ran again because I was not given the two nights requested. Upon entry of the room It was the most disgusting establishment I’ve ever encountered, hair clogging the tub with others peoples Bodily fluid, dirt and grime, paper of some sort all in the drain. I took video of the drain during the process because my time was very limited I was there for a wedding that my whole family was staying in the hotel and we were all from out of town and I live over six hours away and was very tired and needed to shower so I had no choice but to unclog the drain myself and in the process some thing in the drain cut the side of my finger as shown in the video the tool that I was using was not even nowhere near able to cut the side of my finger. I showed the video to the young man at the front desk. He viewed it and made notes. I’ve complained everyday since checking in until today which is almost a whole week later. Still no one has got in touch with me about my complaints. Customer service is a whole issue as well. Don’t know if it was because I am a BLACK TRANS MALE The older female that ran the front during the day time was rude and non emphatic as well as unapologetic to my complaints. I’ve never been treated so poorly. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone let alone stay here ever again. And of course it won’t allow me to add the video.

In Lynden for a competition and chose to stay her overnight. Great location, comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Check in was very efficient and we were up in our room in no time. Breakfast was great. Many choices, lots of hot items and good coffee. Would stay again for sure.
SpringHill Suites Bellingham

Our first time staying here and we were surprised at how well kept the property is. For a 9 year old property, the place looks spanking new and very well looked after. The 2 queen bed room is large, comfortable with plenty of lighting and space for everything. We liked how the toilet and a second sink is in a separate little room. There was a little microwave and fridge which is very useful. Towels were all in excellent shape and sparkling white and hot water pressure great. The air conditioner was quiet and kept us cool. There was a full breakfast at 6 am on weekdays but we didn’t stay as we had an early flight to catch. They do give a grab and go breakfast bag which consisted of a little bottle of water, a cup of cereal, amd an oatmeal bar. They no longer run their airport shuttle so we parked at the Bellingham airport for $10 day iso pay $10 a day at the hotel. It is only a 5 mi Ute drive from hotel to airport. The property itself is also close to Fred Meyer and Costco and we will definitely return. Our only constructive criticism would be better train their new young staff to show a smile and make their guests feel welcomed as we did not get that at all. How about a smile and say “welcome” and be a true ambassador for the Marriott brand?! Hopefully with time, the young new staff will learn how to better welcome their guests and how to improve customer service.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bellingham
4.3/599 Reviews
This was a very nice hotel in a great area. I enjoyed my stay here and would stay again. Great breakfast with eggs and sausage and potatoes and biscuits and gravy and all sorts or food. Also 24 hour access to juice and coffee and tea. They even have a little store at the front with some food and frozen meals and whatnot. The pool was obviously not used very often or something. It just looked a bit forgotten but we still enjoyed it so 5 stars all around
