Room & property is very clean. Free breakfast is more than just waffles, cereal & toast. I would stay here next time we are visiting our son at Western. Best part, they are pet friendly!

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bellingham
Staff was very courteous. Room had several issues. Phone did not work, enamel coating on the tub was peeling off in large chunks, battery in the thermostat was very low. Fridge never got below 48', which was not cold enough for food storage.
