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."
