What guests think

Reviews of Motel 6-Bellingham, WA describe a budget stop right off I-5 with frequently friendly staff, but recurring highway noise, inconsistent room quality, and maintenance issues like broken HVAC, nonworking TVs, and a closed or empty pool.

Cleanliness feedback ranges widely; many guests report dirty floors and bathrooms, strong smoke or urine odors, and stained linens, while a smaller number found their rooms acceptably clean. The location is convenient for Western Washington University, dining, gas, and the airport, but several travelers found the property hard to spot and the area feels a bit sketchy to some. Service is often courteous and helpful, though room readiness delays and communication problems, including phone outages, were noted. Expect basic, budget lodging with significant trade-offs.

My only complaints were that there were so many handicapped parking spaces near room 118 that we had to park quite far away, which was a pain. Also, the pool sure could use service. Other than that, we had a good time. Thank you.

The rooms are nice, the property is pretty clean. The room was clean except for the towels, they were folded and washed but there was hair on them. The mini fridges have been removed leaving an empty space where they once were which was fine until I took the ice bucket and liner down to the front desk and asked where the ice machine was, was told there is not one. So why do they provide ice buckets with plastic liners?

Thankfully this motel is quieter than the previous 2 years except if you are on Hwy 5 side-East. Toilets can be problematic--I'd scrap their weird type if I managed here. Also, wish the shower heads were towards the back of the shower. Pool is down. Ice machine better than some Motel 6's CA. HVAC is automatic--call 0 for help if needed temp wise.

Location was convenient for a Motel 6. Check-in was easy. It was a little noisy, but you get what you pay for and this wouldn't have bothered us too much. That all being said, this was the absolute dirtiest hotel room I've ever stayed in. Next time we will harness our inner boomer and request to change rooms because it was vile. Pretty sure there was poop on the wall by the toilet and blood on the bathroom light switch. The shower was filthy and the floor didn't even look like it'd been swept. The sheets and bedding seemed clean.

Alot of people hanging around who did not look like they belonged. Very noisy during the nite with doors slamming and heavy footsteps. VERY kind staff, especially headhousekeeper and Alicia, who came into our room to fix the heater, despite the fact that Steve was sick in bed. BIGGEST complaint: the floors were FILTHY, and had obviously NOT been mopped in a VERY ling time. They were literally BLACK with GRIME when I had to wipe something up.

Disgusting!! The room was so gross, particularly the bathroom. The shower curtain had that pink mildew at the bottom as it had been so long since it had been washed. There was brown splatter on the side of the wall, and I used a towel to wipe up a bit of water on the floor and it ended up black. One side of the bed smelled like urine. Thankfully, it was only me as it would’ve been unbearable for the other person to sleep on that side. I was at a wedding and a bridesmaid and couldn’t switch rooms. This is fraud and in any other industry, it would be criminal as I was charged $150 for this room . It was absolutely horrendous and just right down disgusting. The one lady was really nice however, the guy who checked me in so rude. If you can at all, avoid this property, do as you will be disappointed.

The room was very dirty (bits of fake eyelashes on the bedspread, dirt on the covers), the toilet was clogged when I arrived, and there was sand/dirt on the floor. The room also smelled strongly of kitty litter. The shower curtain hooks were broken and didn't cover the shower, so water would spray out, no matter how I arranged it. There was so much dog poop on all the grounds that I didn't want to let my dog walk on the grass to pee. I honestly have never seen so much dog poop, anywhere. Staff were all awesome, but I suspect that they need to be paid more!

It's a Motel 6, so our expectations weren't super high. The lady who checked us in was very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. When our first room was discovered to have a leak in the bathroom, she quickly got us into another room. She even warned us about the freeway traffic noise (which, honestly, wasn't so bad). Overall, it's a decent place to crash for a short stay when you're on a budget. Bare bones, and the beds are comfortable enough.

We booked through Expedia and when we arrived, there were no regular rooms available. They offered us a room that only locked from the inside, or a smoking room. This was completely unacceptable and we asked for a refund. We were told that we had to contact Expedia for the refund. They also told us to let Expedia know that the hotel could only be contacted by email as their phone system was out of order. We are still fighting for our 2 night refund.

Tried to check in at 3pm but there were no rooms ready. They had no estimate when it would be ready but told us they would call. It was almost 5pm when our room was finally ready. It was a non smoking room but reeked of smoke. Our eyes were watering and we couldn’t stay. It was on the highway side of the building and we could hear every passing car. The curtains were also broken and the room was not clean. We stayed for about half an hour then asked for a refund and found another place to stay. The gentleman at the desk was very accommodating and friendly and processed our refund without question.

They are courteous and make you feel so welcome plus are always asking if you need anything and keep the rooms clean. I know one of their names is Korin (sp?) but both Housekeeping ladies bought us a lunch as we had to move out unexpectedly and I didn’t have any money - such a Blessing - thank you!!!!

The property is not fancy but it is certainly adequate. Unfortunately it's right next to Route five which is a very very noisy interstate pretty much 24 seven, however the room seem to have really good soundproofing so if you have your windows and doors closed it mutes the noise pretty well, not totally but much better than I expected. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. The funny thing is is that the bathrooms do not have enough bars or hooks for towels and wash clause and things like that there's like one hook in one of the rooms that I stayed in that I had two double beds in it so obviously they would have the room for at least two adults maybe more and there is one little tiny hook in the bathroom for her to hang towels on after her shower or whatever But there is a lot of wall space but no other towel bars..

I did notice the pool was empty but I wasn’t planning on swimming so I didn’t care. Basically a good hotel if you are looking for a clean, quiet room for the night.

I liked the pet policy, it was easy, no questions asked and no extra charge. The room was clean but the toilet paper holder was broken and sitting on the bathroom counter. They were very stingy with the towels. When i took a shower, it set off the fire alarm.(?) I was on the side of the highway so it was very noisy. However, it was inexpensive and i might stay there again with realistic expectations. Also, no breakfast. So, not horrible, not great…just mediocre.
