I have been to many hotels in the past few months, most of them rated three stars. This hotel, the Bay City Inn is rated high by guests because it is highly underrated with its two star tag, which has to have been earned by other owners somewhere in the past. This is a three star inn, so don't let that two star nonsense fool you. My room was bright, modern and clean. It had one big bed, comfortable sheets, a nice blanket, a bedspread in white with a pattern of dark geometric shapes, and three heavenly pillows-- better pillows than in any of the three and four star rated hotels or any others, in my experience. They are better pillows than I have at home. For each of my four nights, I felt like I was sleeping on clouds. Front desk people were four star, every one of them. (Five is having a personal butler to help with almost everything, which way overboard and costs a fortune... it is entirely unnecessary.) Four is three (courteous, efficient, always helpful, etc) with the addition of a personal touch. When they greet a guest, that smile is genuine. Checking in was more than three star pleasant, it was four star fun. I was nervously asking the front desk guy questions before he'd had a chance to do his usual orientation speech. "You have internet?" I asked. He said, "Yes, it's five hundred dollars, sir." "Wow, uh, is that per night or for the whole stay?" He laughed. "I was only kidding. Our wi-fi is free." I laughed. "'Five hundred, sir!' That was hilarious!" The wi-fi worked flawlessly. I saw my front desk buddy later and remarked on how the internet connect was great, even at five hundred dollars. He had established a bond of laughter, and a running joke was born. THAT is four star service. And those pillows... like soft clouds. Instead of bending my neck upward like most, these beauties let me keep my neck straight. I slept soundly.

Shockingly clean. Was nervous booking last minute on our road trip, the reviews for budget (<$100/night) accommodations in Bellingham was not optimistic. Lots of complaints about safety, noise, cleanliness, and just deteriorating buildings. After searching and reading reviews for over an hour, I ended up taking a lesser risk booking here. What a relief, it paid off. No one lingering, front desk was fine, I asked for a quiet and clean room for sleep and got one in the basement which really helped with road noise. The best part is all the bathroom was fastidiously cleaned, shockingly not a spot anywhere and even the toilet was wrapped with a sanitized tape. The bedding is old and carpeting and such makes it look dated, but everything was really clean and no bugs we could find, and NO SMELLS. water pressure in shower was excellent too with plenty of hot water. Fridge worked and was cold. Towels weren’t scraggly. More than I could ask for given the competitors. Just book this place and save yourself the headache. Thanks so much. No water besides tap water and bottled water in lobby for breakfast though. We took some oranges and bananas, the rest was like gas station pastries.

Close to downtown and super close to freeway and grocery store. When I was growing up in Bellingham, this area was "sketchy“. Now it’s really up and coming and not bad at all. The front desk man was really friendly and personable. We chatted for an extra ten min at check in and he was really helpful getting us an personal cab driver who was SUPER quick and cheaper than a normal cab or Uber. Really good value for the price. Especially in Bellingham (these days). Also a pretty big fridge for a motel.

All staff members were friendly and helpful. We arrived earlier than check-in time but staff still took us in and showed us our room! Breakfast was basic but very much enough to start your day, it was a lot better than what I expected. You can even make your own waffle, which was fun and delicious. The room was clean, spacious and quiet. Also had a little facility room with a few gym equipment and a pools table - we didn't use it though. The location isn't difficult to get to, we bus there.

I have used the hotels near WWU for years, and while most are serviceable for overnight stay was very pleasantly surprised that the Bay City was notch above the others. Understand, its not fancy or place for a vacation stay. However, it was comfortable, very clean, very comfortable and staff was most accommodating on some special request such as plugging in my electric vehicle (110V). As I have family reasons for being in Bellingham often, I will be inclined to use this hotel more offten
