Just a basic hotel to stay at on you way through Bellingham. Stay on the west side facing units to avoid I5 traffic noises if you open the windows.

travel safety

Everyone was very friendly and courteous. I did have to explain to the person at the desk that they should NEVER say the room number out loud at check in. It's not safe. I haven't run across a place that doesn't know that in 30 years. The breakfast was good also. The beds are very hard.

Good, but comes with small issues

Room: -weird pool smell like chlorine, had to buy air fresheners - beds were comfy, had a coffee pot & microwave for leftovers we brought - bathroom was up to par - my bath towel had a stain Activity Center: - disappointing that you have to pay to play pool, but table was in amazing shape - old pool balls, the 1 ball was missing and was replaced by another solid 2 ball. -pool light that hangs above table is out, but lights for the gym made up for it -didn’t use gym, but could tell some of the equipment was broken (ecliptyl, leg press, etc) Parking Lot: -cramped

I'm a solo traveller and stayed one night. The room was clean and the king bed very comfortable. Although the hotel is right beside the highway, it was quiet. The breakfast was basic but ample, fresh fruit, yogurts, cereal, juices, boiled eggs, self-made waffles, and coffee. The staff were friendly and helpful in providing a 120V 15A outlet to top up my EV. I was very happy with my stay.
