"We go to that area quite often as we have family there, so don't want to spend a ton of money on lodging, much rather spend it on dining out; good place to stay for a brief visit and a great price. I don't know why there are complaints about the breakfast, the website clearly states it's 'continental', we were surprised it had way more options, not much difference from other hotels, also it's free👍."

"We often come to Bellingham, i was at first skeptical because of the average reviews but honestly the staff was very helpful and nice and the room was clean. I would say the neighbor next room was loud until 2 am and not sure if this is because we had a “common” door or wall was too thin? I would stay again and i already tried three other hotels in Belingham. Breakfast, compared to other hotel of same range, was honestly decent with hot sausages, coffee orange juice, bread etc"

"Haven’t been here since Semiahmoo was closed a remodeled. Nothing special in furnishing rooms, would have preferred a chair and sofa or love seat in large area beyond beds. Two chairs hard and uncomfortable. Hung out in lobby area to visit with friends in comfortable chairs. Bed, Had wonderful sleep. Very comfortable. Bathroom, toilet tissue half roll and no extra roll left, we almost ran out.Kleenex box stuffed with a few tissues then empty. We always bring a box of tissues on trips. Constant drip onto metal drain pan, kept door closed. Floor had an odd raised breakage in flooring. Amenities- pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub great, pool colder than I might like but adjusted. Locker room showers nice. Outdoor seating facing bay, fabulous views, comfortable chairs, walking on beach. 5 stars. Staff, very helpful, great customer service with everyone I encountered. All in all enjoyable stay."
