What guests think

Across many reviews, Coachman Inn is praised for spotless, well‑maintained rooms, welcoming family-run service, and strong value near WWU and the freeway, offering a simple stay with a clean outdoor pool.

Common drawbacks include dated decor, occasional traffic noise, firm beds, and limited in-room amenities like no microwaves, with thin walls or musty smells mentioned in a few stays. Breakfast quality ranges from basic to better than expected, and the property’s age shows despite ongoing upkeep. Expect a clean, budget-friendly, no‑frills stay focused on kind service and convenience.

Very clean rooms and showers, comfortable bed. The staff here do a great job of keeping everything clean and organized and making sure everyone is happy. Continental Breakfast was perfect and in the evening guests were quiet. If you can do stairs would recommend the top floor rooms. They have a laundry area, easy parking, ice machine and a family was enjoying the very clean pool and pool area. Only comment is please change your dining area coffee brand.

We stayed here overnight after driving up from Seattle, and hiked in the Mount Baker area the next morning. The place is good value for the money, rooms are pretty barebones and it does look on the older side, but clean enough. Continental breakfast was satisfactory, and the staff were all very courteous and helpful. Would recommend for a no frills place if you're looking for a stay in Bellingham. We didn't go in the pool but it actually looked quite nice, so that's a nice feature. Fitness room was also surprisingly well equipped.

CLEAN, clean, clean. Everything on the property was immaculate, and that matters so much! The room was basic but had everything needed for a one night stay in the area. Nice little breakfast with alot of options in the morning. Very conscientious host kept everything in order and seemed to take alot of care with the property. I recommend the Coachman Inn - it felt like a nice reminder of what privately owned hotels used to be like. No fancy bells and whistles like the big chains, but good quality and clean attention to the important details for a good night's stay. :)

The care taken to keep this older motel up and running is very evident in all aspects. It couldn't be more neat and tidy, from rooms to lobby/dining area/to the grounds. We stayed on Thanksgiving night, and were impressed to see that a meal had been offered that afternoon to anyone who wished to join. What a welcoming, thoughtful gesture.

It was clean and in decent repair. It was also a bit loud (perhaps just the other people staying there that night) and was cheaply updated and decorated. Since I didn’t need anything but a place to sleep and don’t need decor for that, it was fine. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Very close to the university, which I liked.

I've stayed in more fancy places for more money and had an equally enjoyable experience. I hope this hotel is available next time I'm in town! I was somewhat skeptical about it being near the freeway, but it was very quiet.

This is a cute property with clean rooms and comfy beds. I didn't have time to try the pool, but it looked very inviting. The continental breakfast was fine - normal hotel breakfast options plus some really good strong coffee. My only complaint would be that the room had a smell - I was there on a hot day so perhaps that was part of the cause. I turned on the AC (which worked great) and that helped. I will definitely stay again.

It's rare to find a hotel property of this age that's so well looked after and where the service is first-rate. Full marks to Mohinder and his staff! The Coachman Inn is located within short driving distances to beautiful Chuckanut Drive, Bellis Fair, and Anacortes (where you can take a ferry to the San Juan Islands/Friday Harbor).

This is a fantastic, reasonable cost motel fairly close to downtown Bellingham. I mostly used the bus system to get around town. Beautiful short hike from the hotel thru Sehome neighborhood, Sehome arboretum over to WWU. The manager is quite nice and always available. Breakfast is as basic as it gets- with just boiled eggs as the protein. Oatmeal, bagels, toast and packaged breakfast pastries. A few alternative milks for your coffee or cereal. Weight room is basic, fairly small, but gets the job done. I would return for sure.
