This place was in a perfect location for what we were looking for. The pool was great, my family and I enjoyed the heated pool which was also indoor. They do offer breakfast although we didn’t get to try it. The airport is across the street and surprisingly the hotel was very quiet. Staff was great and made checking in and out very easy.

The pool was very fun for our kids. Loved the separate sleeping area for them so we could watch tv once they went to bed.

We were on a staycation from Seattle for an overnighter.My main concerns were pet-friendly and a pool for kids.I had no idea that we were going to the Bellingham airport,but it was a pleasant mistake.It was everything we needed,super quiet,it's always pleasant watching planes come and go.Great staff especially restaurant and bar.

The hotel itself is nicely located right in front of BLI. So this is perfect for those one night-er but for a family stay, i am not so sure. Here is why. Pros : Bed was comfy, conveniently located right in front of BLI and staff were friendly enough but staff at the restaurant especially Maya i think her name is, was top-notch. She was friendly, welcoming and energetic. The housekeeper at night is such a nice lady. She deserves all the kudos because I think she is the reason why the hotel is clean and tidy. I see her sweeping and mopping the lobby, outside the lobby, at the back of the lobby, gym and pool. She was everywhere! Cons : now I booked Deluxe Family Suite which is a king bed, a sofa bed and a trundle bed in a small room ( without door ) and a kitchenette. Now, let me say this again, i have booked a Deluxe Family Suite, when i see suite, that means it is a suite.. but this suite is pretty much like a large studio without any bedroom or anything. There were only 2 extra pillows available but no extra bed sheets for the sofa bed, only mattress cover was on it. And there was no extra blankets available. So we had to request. We did not know there was no bed sheet on the sofa bed until at night when we were about to sleep. By that time we were just too lazy to call in for extra bed sheet after requesting for pillows and blanket. The kitchen was bare minimum with no cutting board, no knifes, no scissors, no drying rack to dry dishes.. that was pretty disappointing.

This was a great find! The hotel is super-clean and comfortable. The pool was in great shape and much appreciated by the kids. It was very quiet - and right across from the airport. Although it might seem like it would be noisy, none of us heard a plane at all. Great place to stay!

Great hotel. Nico was very friendly at check-in. The accommodations were great. My kids enjoyed the pool. We also enjoyed the view of the airport, but we were not at all bothered by noise. We will stay here the next time we're in the area.

The room was very nice except that we could not sleep because the people on the top floor kept banging and making noise during the night so my kids couldn’t sleep.
