Holiday Inn Express Bellingham by IHG

Beautiful, well maintained hotel. Staff is very helpful and polite. Rooms are immaculate. Love the decor. Very nice breakfast bar that is smaller but very well kept. Our first choice whenever visiting Bellingham.

This hotel is tucked in and surrounded by commercial spaces and office buildings. Fairly quiet at night with friendly staff. The rooms were clean except for a leftover in the room fridge, from what I assume was the previous occupant - yuck!

This hotel was very clean, smelled fresh, looked nice, and had a cute little pool and hot tub. I am already looking forward to a chance to stay again. The breakfast was delicious and had the coolest pancake maker! My daughter loved the pancakes while I enjoyed the egg white omelette and turkey sausage. On top of all of that, the customer service at the front desk was always great, quick and friendly. THANK YOU!!

This wasn't a vacation visit. We had to evacuate due to flooding. From the moment we called about a reservation, to when we finally checked out, we experienced nothing less than stellar service with kindness and empathy. Free HOT breakfast (If you like coffee, the machine grinds the beans fresh). Amazing and friendly team members. Pool. Hot tub. Pet's allowed (with a reasonable fee). Thank you Holiday Inn Express and team for making a bad situation better. We appreciate you!

I’ve stayed at this Holiday Inn Express twice now—once in 2020 and again in 2025—and both times have been excellent. In fact, it’s only gotten better over the years. This is easily one of the cleanest, quietest, and most comfortable hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The beds are incredibly soft with pillows that make for the best sleep. Room temperature is always just right, and the modern room design feels both stylish and cozy, with plenty of space for luggage. I especially appreciate the thoughtful layout—the feng shui just feels right. The bathrooms are another highlight: extra counter space and phenomenal lighting make them so convenient. Staff here are consistently welcoming and professional, which adds to the overall comfort of the stay. Parking is plentiful and feels safe. And as a bonus, the hotel is right near one of the best breakfast spots in town, The Birch Door. All in all, this hotel offers great quality for a very reasonable price. It’s my go-to in Bellingham and I highly recommend it.

Clean rooms, nice friendly staff, and fairly quiet rooms made for a nice stay. Unfortunately we could hear too much from the hallway, our room door didn't have a good seal around it which was apparent when our room lights were off and the glow from the hallway shined through all the way around the door. Not sure if all the rooms are like this, if it's a code thing? Not all hotel rooms are like this though, so not sure, but Itoo much hall noise. Maybe the heated toilet seat, bidet, and butt dryer makes up for it? Breakfast is typical, bananas were good but the apples looked tired... Coffee machine was a bit slow but it did freshly grind the beans for each cup. Overall, nice room.

Love this place. It's the only place we stay at when visiting our daughter at college. Clean place, clean rooms, great staff, pool and hot tub is perfect. And the breakfast can't be beat! I only stay at hotels that offer breakfasts, and this is always 100% fresh and perfect. Couldn't ask for better from this place. Stayed at a few other hotels there over the years and always come back to this one. Now it's the only place we'll stay anymore

This hotel location was very easy to access. The staff is very friendly. I arrived after 8 and was happy to see that the pool is open until midnight. The hot tub was nice. My room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was soft on top and still offered good support. They offered a large selection for breakfast. Egg white omelets, scrambled eggs, sausage, yogurt, coffee. They even have a pancake machine. I enjoyed breakfast on the patio.
