Good choice for an economical stay. Was very quiet, easy to get around, with stores and restaurant choices. Hotel is a bit older and shows it in places, but it's clean and staff was generally ok. Breakfast not impressive, but plenty of options around area.

I always stay here when I come and go through Bellingham, to get onto the Alaska ferry. Great rates, and most importantly close proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, etc.
