It was quiet and clean. We thought there was an airport shuttle but there was not. However they did pay for a Lyft to get back to the airport.

Great location near mall and shopping. Large continental breakfast with many choices, restaurants close by. Wasn’t noisy with traffic, lots of parking.

We chose this hotel over another less expensive option as it had such great reviews. I looked for square footage before booking but couldn’t find it in the room descriptions. We were traveling and had just stayed a different chain hotel the previous evening. Our room was much smaller and more expensive at this hotel than the night before. I’m not sure why the reviews are so on the excellent side of things. While our stay was fine, it was only just OK. The paint in the bathroom is peeling, there are small holes in the bathroom walls from attachments, the room is small compared to an average hotel room, and we didn’t have the option to sign into our Netflix accounts. I would try a different place next time we stay in Bellingham.

The breakfast every morning (included in the price of the room) was amazingly good. There were fresh baked cookies every day. The pool was fabulous. The bed was comfortable. The room was quiet. There was plenty of parking. It was close to great restaurants and Bellis Faire Mall. The only down side was that the refrigerator was exceptionally loud every fifteen minutes or so.

It’s been a great holiday at the hotel ! We had a really good experience it’s been a long time since travelling and this hotel did not disappoint! It’s always been our favourite! The only thing to think about is with the air conditioner in the rooms , they are Very! Dusty and when putting it on dust can irritate the allergies. But other then that it was a good time at the holiday inn ! Thank you

First off, the staff-Mercedes greeted us like celebrities when we first walked in to check in! Our room was immaculately clean, ample parking, and the hotel was very quiet. The beds were super comfortable, and having a mini fridge and microwave in the room as a huge bonus. The breakfast was amazing..Biscuits and gravy for the win! 5 stars all around!

Just off the path so not many people just walking through the parking lot. Great friendly place when I take my 13 yr old 😁
