"A friend and I were in town for a Gala dinner and needed a place to crash for the night. The Bay City Inn was clean and comfortable. Perfect for just needing a place to crash for the night. Breakfast was your typical waffles and yogurt. Fine for what we needed. The front desk staff were all nice and helpful. Would stay here again if I need to overnight it in Bellingham."
