My wife and I tried this place on a lark; my daughter is set to be a student at Western next year, and we needed a place to stay to learn the town.
I've been blown away, honestly--the hotel is clean, quiet, and has everything I could want. Great morning breakfast (free!), the bar at night is ridiculously affordable for a hotel bar, great pool, a parking garage if you want it--this is where I'll stay when I visit Bellingham now and forever!
