Hotels Near Sierra in Bellingham

The staff were great. Room was very nice except for the coffee maker. Why on earth do hotels put coffee makers in their rooms which are nothing more than a way to heat water and poor over instant coffee. If a coffee maker is supplied, it should make real coffee, not instant coffee. Lack of a shuttle in a city that is anti-uber/lyft is alway a negative. The taxi took about an hour to pick us up at the airport and on our return trip to Bellingham, the train station. Seriously, supply a shuttle like almost every other Springhill Suites in the country does. Breakfast was typical of most hotels in this range. Nothing exciting but adequate. Points lost for lack of a shuttle and dismal ”coffee maker”.

Because of COVID, I wasn’t able to enjoy breakfast. Except that, everything was good!! Good service and great room!!

The room was very clean. The hotel itself was very clean. Traveling alone, I felt safe here. From check in to check out, everything went smoothly. The lady at the bar and the lady working the restaurant at breakfast were so accommodating, nice and friendly. Even though the airport was just across the parking lot, the hotel offered to shuttle me to the front door of the airport, which I accepted. I would definitely stay here again if the need arose. The only negative I can think of would be that the room is a bit pricier than I usually pay when I travel but the location to the airport and the overall experience of staying here made it worth it.

We got a water view room on west side of hotel. It was pricey but since it was our first time here, I splurged on accommodations. We had a deluxe room with jet tub, separate shower, gas fireplace and a balcony to sit out on and watch harbor activity. We had a view of the park across the harbor and watched kites flying. It's a 30 minute walk from hotel around harbor to get to park. Tiny negatives that did not affect our stay: the bathroom needed a night light. My work around was I put a small towel over the dimmed make up mirror. There are sharp corners where the metal trimmed floor boards join in the bathroom. This may be a design thing but luckily I didn't cut myself there. Also I forgot to tell the desk at checkout, the bottom bathroom hinge pin was about a third out. Door still operated ok. Shower designed badly as water hitting the door piles up on bottom ledge until it spills all over the bathroom floor. Should have a silicone deflector or something to prevent water coming out to bathroom. My work around was to spray shower toward back corner which minimized mess. Another negative that did not affect my stay, upon check out, I was emailed an amended bill that charged me 7$ for chocolates from the honor bar that I did not use. I took pictures of the entire bar and refrigerator items before departure just in case something like this occured. I called the desk from the road and explained I did not use anything from the honor bar. The clerk immediately credited my account for the charge. I did not need to send my photos. The take away, check your bill carefully. Good: Front desk staff were great and most courteous. Hotel offers bottles of water just ask desk staff. We stayed 10 nights and did not use housekeeping. That's just us. Whenever we needed anything housekeeping staff were cheerful to accommodate us. All in all, it was still a great stay. I would return to this hotel if in the area again.
