"I was a solo traveler on a motorcycle, I spent one night at the hotel. Amazing property, classic and modern decor, amazing secure underground parking , great food and a ton of in room amenities! A must stay in north western Washington state! Even got to see some orcas playing as I ate breakfast on the water!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bellingham

10/10 Excellent

"I travel a lot, and this is one of the nicest hotel suites I’ve ever stayed in! The manager “David” was amazing and very personable. I’ve stayed at La Quinta’s over the years and always enjoy my stays. The parking was plentiful. There are many restaurants within 10-15 minutes. There’s a Fred Meyer’s grocery store right next door if you’re hungry for restaurant fare. The room was immaculate, comfortable, and luxurious too. Breakfast was good and filling! I still can’t get over how large and spacious the suite was."
