Top South Bay Trail Hotel Reviews

Coachman Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms, hallways, and common areas were extremely clean and well maintained. Staff was super friendly and accommodating!! We didn’t eat breakfast but it was available and diverse. Beds were very comfy with plenty on blankets and pillows!! We checked in late and the front desk was very friendly at 11:00pm! And very helpful! We will absolutely stay again! A wonderful experience."

Oxford Suites Bellingham

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good, beds comfy (but sheets tucked in so tightly I felt “short sheeted”). Very quiet and the room very dark with the blinds closed."

Hotel Bellwether

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful setting & lovely room with most comfortable bed ever! This hotel is on the water and landscaped to perfection. The spacious room was pretty with every need anticipated including gas fireplace , full length mirror, cosmetic mirror, wonderful bedding, mini frig with drinks & snacks. Every detail thoughtfully provided & clean to perfection. We sat on the balcony in the mornings & enjoyed hearing birds & views . My only regret was not staying here longer. Both the hotel setting & room could be featured as magazine cover in my opinion. Loved Hotel Bellwether in Bellingham WA."

Sehome Garden Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great hosts, delicious breakfast, peaceful surroundings…it was a nice way to emerge into the Bellingham scene vs staying at a chain hotel. Will be back!"
