Three girlfriends and I stayed here for 3 nights over the Victoria Day long weekend. Although when we booked the rooms 2 months ago we requested adjoining rooms, upon check-in were told none were available. No offer of reduction to our bill was given. One of us had to fly out of Bellingham airport on the Monday so Sunday evening... More

I stayed at the Bellingham GuestHouse Inn this past weekend. I have a corporate account, which is direct billed to the corporation. They took my card "for incidentals." There were no "incidentals," so nothing should have been charged to my card. Not only was my card charged for the stay - so was the corporate account. Now I am told... More

We came up to Bellingham to visit our daughter [WWU student] for Mother's Day. From the moment we walked in, everyone was really nice and helpful. We got in an hour and a half before check-in time and they were apologetic about the room not being ready. There was no reason to be - we were early. Once in, we... More

Chose the guesthouse based on tripadvisor reviews. Contacted them via email regarding my questions on park and fly arrangements. AGM/DOS Corissa replied promptly and then called me long distance at my convenience the following day to complete my reservation. On arrival we checked in without a hitch and the room key folder included discount coupons for local restaurants. The room... More

This is a budget hotel. Keeping that in mind the decor is dated but clean. Who doesn't check for bedbugs? Well there were none. The sheets were clean and smelled fresh. the pillows and mattress comfortable. The towels were thick enough and absorptive. the shower had lots of hot water. The internet was easy to connect to. Even tho I... More

Lousy service and dirty room!!! We were given only excuses for noisy music at midnight and cigarette smoke filling our room (non smoking) and slapdash cleaning, with no action taken. The breakfast was great the first morning, but the second morning they ran out of sausage, bacon and the eggs by 845 am with NO attempt by staff to restock... More

The friendly helpful staff are the best thing about this hotel. The rooms are a little cramped but they are clean enough and the beds are comfy. Walking distance to downtown and the old town area is a plus. There are dog friendly rooms. The only bad thing is the derelict restaurant and parking area adjacent to the hotel that... More

Decent place, rooms are average and staff is friendly. A good value if you get a good rate on your room. Only complaint is that one night we returned to a smoky smelling room. We determined that the cigarette smoke/smell was coming from the vent in our bathroom (someone was smoking in their bathroom)? Not really sure if this is... More

The accomodations were modest and clean. The staff were what made an average motel something more. If you needed/wanted something, all you had to do is ask and the staff (sincerely) responded. There was a problem with someone smoking in their room and the front desk staff dealt well with the situation. The smoke was lingering throughout the halls and... More
