Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Breakfast selections limited. Would have liked more fresh fruit. The room was very clean. We selected a king with extra space, and the bathroom more than accommodated my walker. The pool was inside, warm, and ok for water arobic exercise, too small for laps. Also, the poolroom included a private shower room where you can shower, dry off, dress,returning to our room without dripping all over the elevator

Yes the room was clean. Staff was extremely helpful. Missed having a second chair in the room to sit on. Loved the little shelf with the double coat hangers as soon as you opened the door. Would have appreciated two more wall mounted bed side shelves on the far side of the two queen beds

Recently renovated, it appeared bright, spanking clean. Many simple amenities made the stay so comfortable and convenient. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Free 24 hour coffee and daily breakfast was also a nice plus. Plenty of parking also. Located on a busy Bellingham boulevard so many convenient businesses.
