Top Bellingham Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Bellingham by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Bellingham by IHG

8/10 Good
"This hotel was okay, the room was clean, but the noise at this hotel is pretty bad. The plumbing is very noisy, you can hear every toilet flush and shower run, the rooms are also not very soundproof at all, all night i could hear people walking around, car horns when people where locking their cars, people talking in the hallway. The beds were okay for comfort, definitely indented where people sleep. The pool was okay but pretty cold, and the hot tub needs to be deep cleaned. The best part of our stay was the breakfast, they do have probably the best hotel breakfast ive ever had at a hotel. I was bummed that the gym was not actually part of the hotel, they partner with a gym located outside of the hotel which is inconvenient. Overall the stay was mediocre, the breakfast made up for the mediocre experience."
