La Quinta Inn & Suites Bellingham

Perfect location for air travel to Bellingham. Close to airport, FredMeyer and Starbucks are walking distance. Clean rooms. Accommodations were beyond my requirements. But best of all the staff was great. I was traveling there for wife’s funeral and Melissa sorted through my incoherent confusion with compassion and useful instruction. Other staff members were likewise professional and helpful during a difficult time for me. Staff gets a 10 out of 10. Also the price is very economical for all that it offers including a generous breakfast bar. I recommend this particular LA Quinta.

Very nice hotel — it looked like it was very new –Starbucks right across the way and. You can walk to restaurants. Staff was great, my son and his wife have 2 month old twins so they had the crib already set up before we arrived and they gave them a quiet, larger room with my room across the way. We had a dog with us too. No extra fee! Hotel was clean and quiet great breakfast was included, after a 4 day drive from Tennessee to Washington it was a very welcome stay

Love the La Quinta in Bellingham. We have stayed here multiple times with our two full size well behaved puppies and it is a wonderful place to stay.

Returning from a trip from Vegas, we realized we lost our car keys when we got to the Airport parking! We couldn’t find a locksmith to assist us til morning. So, we had to find a hotel nearby. The night only got better once we were helped by the Front Desk receptionist. Kyna was approachable, friendly and able to check us in rightaway. The Hotels interior has a modern metropolis décor which we always appreciate. It was affordable, CLEAN and easy to navigate. Because we couldn’t get a locksmith to come out in time before check-​out, the hotel extended our time with no hassle! I would definitely recommend this hotel to someone who is looking to stay in the Bellingham area or who has lost their car keys in the middle of the night!

I have stayed at several La Quinta Inn and suites from California, Arizona to Washington State but this hotel hands-​down is the best La Quenta Inn I have stayed at. Only a few minutes from the airport and centrally located to various businesses in the area. Upon my arrival I was quickly greeted and treated like a friend. The room was immaculately clean and well organized as well as the entire hotel, even The carpeted stairwells were immaculately clean. I fly into Bellington Washington every other month and will stay only at this hotel. Very affordable and At this hotel you get more than what you pay for.

I stayed for a few nights as a get-​away.
The hotel was wonderful. I just read Nathan’s review on here. He didn’t have the best experience. I believe that the hotel has been upgraded as a result of comments such as his. For instance, there is now coffee in the lobby and that «water, tubing» type thing wasn’t visible in the stairwells as far as I could tell.
The staff were friendly and the room was very modern. It had a nice TV, awesome super-​easy-​to-​adjust AC system. It was easy to check in and out. I really like the location of this hotel too. It’s right near Fred Meyer and the airport.
I guess this only con about the hotel, from my visit, was that it’s near a street, so I could hear the traffic a bit. It was not a big deal though, and didn’t impact my sleep.

We stayed here for two nights while in town to visit with my B&S in-​laws. This was my first time driving North of Seattle (neat areas all around) and since I am notoriously geographically challenged, really didn’t grasp Bellingham as on the water nor that close to the Canadian Border.
My MIL made the rezzy’s for this hotel as she and my FIL had stayed here before. Since my nightmare experience with the LQ in Modesto in 2014, I had sworn off this chain, but sometimes I just need to let stuff go.
This LQ has been updated lobby wise and has a fresher look than many I have seen before. Both of our rooms were giant– and the bed was decent. The bathroom had been updated but it was very standard and the «freebies» aka– «toiletries you never use but always take» were minimal at best.
I did not partake in the complimentary breakfast– and it was the exact same both mornings with cheapskate products. Luckily, this wasn’t a problem as there is a Starbuck’s in the same parking lot.
Speaking of the Buck’s– it is the drive-​thru kind which makes the egress from the LQ parking kind of a business.
We would probably stay here again when coming up if we had dogs with us, but there are other places I would likely stay at first.

Our baseball team stayed here during a tournament at Bender Fields.
Everything was outstanding — from the staff understanding that thirteen 14 year old boys will need extra food during your free breakfast Sunday morning to not having a hissy when they took over the pool.
Everything was clean — even the doggie bathroom area.
I am only doing 4 stars because we had called two months ago to see if we could book as a group and we were not allowed to.
This is the second time our team has stayed there and will go again.

Clean, nice, friendly and helpful staff.
Nice size pool, not huge not warm but nice to play with the kids. Hot tub feels like a warm bath.
Never tried breakfast but smelled yummy.
We returned when the maid was cleaning so she missed a few things.
They say it’s good for family but it seems that people don’t like kids playing at 6:00pm was nice but nothing fancy.

Very friendly staff and new hotel. Rooms are a little small but they were very clean and very well laid out. Breakfast area is large and very clean. Price was good and as always, no charge for pets.

Wifi very sluggish most of the time. But occasionally has decent bursts at various times of day or night. This is La Quinta’s trademark. They never invest much into wifi networking. However this location is one of the better ones (for now) because they have new equipment. Goto hotel WiFi dot com and run a speed test to verify.
As far as rooms go. They are very very small unless you get a suite. No shampoo is provided. Other guests have said the same. Mr. H Bains, a Canadian supposedly owns this location. Not surprising. It’s already In need of maintenance like repairing the electrical outlets even though the building was finished in 2014. Air con is motion sensor type and they are very flaky. I think it was a mistake to install this. Lighting is the awful hospital type CFL color fluorescent. They must change it to natural incandescent color CFL or better still, LED.
Breakfast is so so. Scrambled egg whites, round pork sausages, etc. I’d rather go to Jack in the Box or Fred Meyer instead. Still, it’s edible.
There is no coffee in the lobby unlike some locations after breakfast is served.
You can feel vibrations on the floor so this might bother light sleepers. Building is cheaply built (not surprising).
Parking is an issue here as well. Often not enough spots.
It’s best for a quick one night stay. Don’t think about parking and flying.
I give my review a 3 stars because that’s what this hotel really is worth on average. We were lucky so our stay was worth a 4 stars. However, don’t expect this as I predict this hotel will be neglected very quickly until such time the current owner (s) sell to someone else who (hopefully) will take care of this place in a timely manner.

We planned a last minute trip to Bellingham and called and spoke with Ashley. She was very helpful and found us the best rate. We arrived that same evening from Seattle and she was all smiles.
The hotel was very nice and more than what we expected. Unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to enjoy all the amenities La Quinta had to offer.
The location is a convenient to everything and I-​5 if you need to hop on the highway to go north or south.
The room was very nice and the bed was comfortable.
We would recommend to stay at this Hotel.

Great staff, Elijah at front desk was very helpful, quick drive to everything city offers and just a great stay, plus starbucks and freddies next door for quick trips.

When we booked this hotel we read online that it was 2 and a half stars. Usually we tend to stay at 3 and a half or 4 star hotels and since we had never stayed at this hotel before we were a little worried. We arrived and we’re surprised to see that the hotel was brand new and very nice. The staff was awesome– we arrived at 1am and they had free cookies and even gave us some milk for free, checked us in with a smile and asked if we needed a wake up call– which we did for 5:30 am. We asked if we would be missing the breakfast and the gentleman at the front desk offered to lay out bagels and muffins for us for when we woke up. More surprises when we got to the room and found it looks more like a 3 and a half star than 2 and a half. Overall GREAT hotel especially for the area. Return customers here!

Our stay at La Quinta was great! Very friendly staff, and quick to check us in. There were plenty of bell carts, and our room was spacious and clean. It had recently been painted, and the bathroom still had a lingering chemical smell, but I can overlook that for a freshly renovated room. We loved the ever-​present cookies and coffees/​teas in the lobby, which was appreciated after a long day. The breakfast was also good. Always fresh and plenty to choose from. The pool and spa were a little murky during our 3 day stay. The work out room next to us was really nice though.

Beautiful brand new hotel in town. Everyone was SO nice. Rooms were beautiful and spacious. Great hi-​def TV stations and lots of them. I won’t stay anywhere else when I come to town.
