Top South Bay Trail Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Bellingham

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast that stayed open till 10:00 am!! Lots of parking in a wonderful safe area. Rooms all had microwaves which I thought was so wonderful! And check out was noon, and also they gave you bottled water whenever u need it….. it bothers me when I have to purchase bottled water after paying for my hotel room!! These may be small extras but they all add up to a hotel that really cares about its clients!! When ever I can I try and stay with a big hotel chain and I find best western to have the best bang for your buck ❤️ staff was on top of everything from smiles to making sure the grounds were very clean殺 one more thing I was able to do laundry half way thru my 12 day road trip…….HUGE BONUS !!!"
