Motel 6 Bellingham

We stayed for a week in late July 2007 and had an absolutely perfect visit. Clean room & bedding, friendly and helpful staff, clean heated pool, hot coffee everyday until 10 a.m. and everything worked (cable TV, room key card, lights, hot water, etc.) Because we had requested a room on the opposite side of the highway it was even very quiet. I would highly recommend the Motel 6 in Bellingham for anyone who is on a budget and doesn't need the frills that come with a high-priced motel.

This was the worst nights sleep I've ever attempted. First of all the 'clerk' talks to you thru bullet proof glass and types your drivers license number into his computer. He argued with me about giving me a 'senior' discount. The rooms are right on the highway so all night long you hear trucks rumbling by on I-5. The room's light switches didn't work, the tv remote didn't work, there was no shampoo, drinking glasses or any countertop in the bathroom. All this for only $60. I've stayed at other Motel 6's but nothing was as bad as this one. Oh yeah, the non smoking room had ashtrays. I realize its a budget hotel but they eliminated the trash can in the bathroom. How much more can they eliminate? Optional toilet paper?

Please stay elsewhere.
