Top South Bay Trail Hotel Reviews

Hotel Bellwether

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful setting & lovely room with most comfortable bed ever! This hotel is on the water and landscaped to perfection. The spacious room was pretty with every need anticipated including gas fireplace , full length mirror, cosmetic mirror, wonderful bedding, mini frig with drinks & snacks. Every detail thoughtfully provided & clean to perfection. We sat on the balcony in the mornings & enjoyed hearing birds & views . My only regret was not staying here longer. Both the hotel setting & room could be featured as magazine cover in my opinion. Loved Hotel Bellwether in Bellingham WA."

Coachman Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Super nice and helpful reception staff person. Continental breakfast was just right. Enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it."

Motel 6 Bellingham, WA

8/10 Good

"Good"

Walk-Everywhere Patio Suite with King Bed, Parking and Fenced Yard

10/10 Excellent

"Great little apartment! We walked almost everywhere but appreciated the designated parking space which had a retractable chain link fence. Made parking our rental car feel more secure. We didn’t do any cooking since there are a number of tasty restaurants in Bellingham but the kitchen was fully stocked had we needed it. This is a downstairs unit so you can hear footsteps above but that was a non-issue for us. The area itself is quiet and the hum of the dehumidifier made sleeping a breeze. Host was incredibly easy to contact and clear with instructions. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area!"

Spacious Downtown Studio | A+ Location | Near WWU

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! We’ve stayed in a lot of places and this was by far the best! Every detail was executed to perfection. The communication was great, easy check in/out, cleanliness was 100%, the bed was comfortable and the linens were luxurious. The welcome basket with water bottles, nut bars and chocolates was also a nice touch. We don’t get to Bellingham often but would definitely recommend this place. Easy walk to coffee, ice cream, and restaurants too! I would rank this 10/10."
