Took a quick trip to Bellingham and wanted to stay at the Best Western Heritage Inn. Unfortunately they were fully booked, so we decided to try the Best Western Lakeway Inn. It was a bit more expensive and you don't get a continental breakfast like you do at the Heritage inn. The Lakeway Inn is a reasonably nice hotel though.... More

This hotel was very nice. The front desk and shuttle people were very friendly and accommodating. They offer complimentary pickup / drop off from Amtrak and the airport. The room was clean ... the A/C a little noisy ... but it is an older hotel. We ate at the Pub one night ... as we had arrived very late from... More

Stayed for two nights while visiting friends in Bellingham. Kids loved the pool and our 4 year old really loved the 2 foot deep kids pool. Room was nice and though the hotel was at capacity, very quiet at night. Super nice and helpful front desk staff. Many BW have a complimentary continental type breakfast. This location does not but... More

I had accidentally made reservations for the day AFTER we arrived, but was able to get a room that night with no problem. The front desk clerk was extremely nice and helpful in correcting my error with the reservation and she was very knowledgeable about Bellingham night life. The room was clean and very nice and Poppi's martini bar, as... More

We stayed here when we were locked out and we did not plan for it (of course) so it was pretty last Minuit but the room was great!

Best Western Plus *what*? Plus a restaurant that serves the most tasteless food we've ever eaten! This is a mediocre hotel that is totally over-priced. The pool is in the middle of the hotel, so everyone can watch you, if desired. There's no breakfast unless you want to pay even MORE for more bad food. Nobody was eating in the... More

I think 4 stars is too high for this property. While it was clean the decor was dated. We had an inside room with a window toward the indoor pool in the courtyard. There was a Lion's club meeting at the pool with loud senior citizens followed by a sleep over party for about 30 10 year olds. It was... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay with us! I apologize if you did not feel the rooms overlooking the pool were uncomfortable. We will look into ways of brightening those rooms up more than they are. I will say the building is made out of concrete, so rooms facing I-5 do not... More

Worst hotel experience ever. Didn't have our reservation when we arrived and took 3 tries to get the room right (our last night). Management never contacted us to discuss the issues and apparently could not care less.

I've been staying at this hotel for about a 1 1/2 months and I have no complaints. I'm up here for an extended stay and I may never want to leave this place. The entire staff is very helpful. Especially Bryan and Senika, they work the evening shift and are always plesent and helpful.
