Top South Bay Trail Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Bellingham

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great time. Rooms were well kept and refreshing. The layout felt up-to-date and not grungy in any way. All the staff we interacted with were so friendly and helpful. Even informing us of interesting places to check out on our trip. Both me and my friends had an overall great experience at the Best Western Plus."

Oxford Suites Bellingham

10/10 Excellent

"The room was beautiful. Very clean and well decorated. Loved the real cups- not plastic. Fridge with a freezer so we could re-freeze our ice packs. We were traveling with dogs and we're greeted with a gift pack including collapsing dog bowl. Breakfast was great-real eggs ( not powdered) and again real dishes ( not styrofoam). The bed was super comfortable but a bit too high. We loved it and will definitely return."

"The room was amazing and clean. Great AC unit. Loved the fenced dog area and yard. I LOVED the big deep fire pit however disagree with needing to be babysat when it came to starting and maintaining a fire as was told by a staff member. They were kind about letting me know after they realized I had started a fire. The pit is super deep and safe. There was nothing on the info sheet about these rules. Otherwise great place and will stay again for sure. My pup loved it!"
