Holiday Inn & Suites Bellingham by IHG

I hate writing reviews. I have written perhaps two in my entire life. I prefice my review with this because the service was so good that I had to despite my distaste. The staff there were phenomenal. I wish I had gotten all of their names. Every single one was kind, friendly, and positive. I'm from the South. Hospitality is supposed to be our thing. The staff here had us beat. I had the opportunity to speak with housekeepers, maintenance workers, bartenders/waiters, and front desk staff. Everyone was amazing. The teams all clearly worked well together. I watched new staff be mentored well by more veteran staff, watched how they coordinated around large groups and holiday events. I don't think I have seen a better trained team, and I used to work as a sales manager in the hotel world myse

Classic brand and this location lives up to the name! Super convenient for the airport and worked well for our errands in town. Sarah, Naf, and Nico made our stay beyond what we expected -- what great hospitality! The rooms were well-appointed and the laundry room and bar/restaurant made our stay very easy. Would definitely recommend if you're flying as it's basically across the parking lot from the airport.

I want to preface this that I had a great stay around 5 years ago at this location so my expectations were pretty high. Part of that was an upgrade, but part was engaged staff. The good thing about this location is that it is within walking distance of the airport. It is overall clean and quiet. This trip the customer service was just passable and staff coming and going to watch their cell phones. The rooms were generic with a room plan I did not like. The elevator's were slow and questionable. I could not get the heater to go high enough in the room as the main vent went to the living room area. This meant I was cold and could not sleep well. Also you will need to pay for breakfast. This is a clean and safe location, and for simply a night sleep it is adequate. I would not stay here in t

Positive: It was surprisingly nice. Reminded me of pre-pandemic days when hotels were pristine, your linens got changed, and there was plenty of friendly staff available. Negative: It's by the airport, which wouldn't be my usual location choice, but that was clear when we reserved that. No negatives at all, really.

Fantastic hotel. The hotel is new, clean, comfortable beds and the staff are super friendly. I spent the night and was able to simply walk over to the airport for an early morning flight without any stress. The hotel has a secure underground parkade and they offer long term parking which I ended up using. Price was also very fair for what the hotel offers.
