“Wonderful staff”

6/2026 Update 6 years after my previous review: Rooms are essentially the same, clean, spacious, comfortable, not exquisite but then I'm not paying an exorbitant price either. Unfortunately they still have the awful coffee makers in the rooms. Pool is large and the area clean. Grandkids love the swim. Food in the lobby bar which is open in the evenings is remarkably good. We made a dinner out of nachos and hot wings that came with a generous portion of potato wedges, both nicely presented. It is clear that some cost saving measures have been put in place over the years. Housekeeping is no longer daily but rather every third day but repeatedly we were reminded that if there was anything the room needed they would happily provide it. Free breakfast still happens in the dining area every morning but the selection is slightly smaller, sadly no more waffles - area is kept very clean. Breakfast only has disposable utensils but they are compostable (evening bar service did have nice utensils and dinnerware. They now charge $10/day for parking. Given all of the above, the price for the room and services is still reasonable. I'd like to end on the most positive note. The staff are so very friendly, attentive, and professional. If anything I would say they have even brought the staff/service to an even higher level than before. Every person I have encountered engaged us in conversation, asked if we needed anything, and made sure we were aware of available services. I do mean everyone (excuse me if I have not captured all of the names or misspelled), Lia at he bar, Kylie at the desk, Laurie in the kitchen, the desk clerk in the evening when we arrived, the other dining area attendant, the gentleman servicing the rooms upon our initial arrival - saw us in the parking lot - offered to get us a luggage cart, later rode up the elevator with him - made sure we knew we could ask for any amenities we needed for the room, and genuinely engaged in friendly conversation regarding our visit to the area as well as wishing us a pleasant stay. This is a 3 star hotel with 5 star staff - one and all. Thank you. JZ

“Thank you Gabby for helping me!!!!”

Gabby at the front desk really helped me out. I booked a room for a basketball tournament that was originally scheduled 28-30 Dec. They ended up moving it to 29-31. I had a rough time getting the change to go through to move the days with the reservation and on my app. So I booked an extra day on the 31st. I must have called 4 times back to back to back. Gabby was very patient with me and helped me resolve my issue. I truly appreciate the professionalism and her desire to help me get everything squared away. Thank you Gabby. My family and I look forward to our stay.

SpringHill Suites Bellingham is a very efficient, comfortable hotel — clean, quiet, and with everything you need, though nothing fancy. The room was clean, the staff were pleasant, and having laundry onsite was very handy. Uber Eats came directly to the room door, which made things easy. There is also a bar/restaurant in the evening and a pool, although I didn’t use either. I couldn’t rent a car because I only had a digital driver’s license, which I learned isn’t accepted by rental car companies, so I relied on the local bus. Surprisingly, that worked quite well. There’s a bus stop right across the road, with buses every 15–30 minutes into the evening, going straight downtown. I’d highly recommend going downtown to eat and drink — that’s where the interesting restaurants, bars, and shops are. Around the hotel it’s mostly strip malls and chain stores. Overall, a comfortable and practical stay.
