Four Points by Sheraton Bellingham Hotel & Conference Center
Everything was clean and nice. It was surprisingly quiet considering the location. Bed was comfortable, however the pillows were pretty flat. Great location convenient to everything. Overall we were happy with our experience.

Holiday Inn & Suites Bellingham by IHG
I was only staying for one night, but the room was clean, well-equipped, and a very good size. I appreciated the extra rolling table that acted as a desk while I was there. I wish I had remembered to pack a bathing suit, as the pool, hot tub, and sauna looked great too.
