Top South Bay Trail Hotel Reviews

Hotel Leo

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful, in an older refurbished way. It's obvious a lot of thought and work has gone into the hotel. Our room was spacious, although the bathroom was small in line with how things were built years ago-it didn't bother us. Things were clean, although we found a pair of left behind shoes under our bed. Staff was friendly and helpful, free parking was appreciated. We also liked the coffee and tea provided, along with having a full kitchen. The drawbacks were old windows, (but it would probably be no small cost to replace them), and some street noise, which, with the sound screen on our phones, didn't bother us and didn't continue late on a Sunday night. The odd thing was that we were told there was only heat from 7pm-midnight when the boilers were on. The room was chilly when we 1st arrived and we got some space heaters from the desk when we asked how to turn on the heat. The explanation was that we were on the old side of the building. We couldn't understand how heat could only be provided for 5 hours out of 24, and it's not clear what they do when the weather is truly cold, except provide space heaters if asked-? Overall a pretty good stay"

Hotel Bellwether

8/10 Good

"Excellent condition and staff was excellent as well. Fireplace was not working and staff tried to repair pilot light but was not able to do so. Maintenance did not appear during our two day stay. Was planning on using room service for breakfasts but there was no table or chairs to permit it. Only chair was large sofa chair and one at desk. There was room for small table and chairs but not present"

Sehome Garden Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely surprise this place was. A true gem of a place to stay. From the moment I arrived it was warm and welcoming. The room is nicely set up in a way the feels completely separate from the rest of the inn. But still connected to get to enjoy the friendly pups relaxing in the house. The breakfast was better than any hotel breakfast I could have asked for. Every moment is well thought out and executed. I will be returning and hope that more people discover this gem, but not too many, because it will be my go to place when I am in town visiting my son at college."

Bellis Inn

10/10 Excellent

"No complaints on my stay at all"

Lavissh Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"If there was something they could do about the I-5 freeway noise …. But I have no idea what they could do there."

Coachman Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very pleasant & helped to carry in all our full shopping bags. Four women doing Christmas shopping for all our family's we had lots of bags every day when we got back to our rooms."

Bay City Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Two bathroom issues resolved after first notice to staff. Sink leaked when water was run, toilet did not shut off on arrival, resolved by second evening, good beds, good price and location. I would definitely stay there again."

Chrysalis Inn & Spa Bellingham, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for two nights in late-August. Very nice room with great views over the water. Great location if you're wanting to visit Fairhaven Village as it's a short walk to the historic center and also has direct access to the waterfront walking trails. Was definitely on the pricy side though."
