Check in was a breeze, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was clean. Couldn't get the A/C on initially and I called the desk and he came and got it going in under 5 minutes and then it worked great for the rest of my stay. Check out was even easier. Location was great. I would stay here again.

I would not recommend this motel at all cost.
The bedding has a hole in it. The washroom is VERY DIRTY. The curtain has stain in it and the smell is awful. The room smells like pee.
The air conditioning is not working and its in the middle of the summer.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Room was dirty when we got there. We had to clean the floor and bathroom ourselves when we got in as. The floor was sticky and our feet would look black as though we walked outside in the dirt. House keeping would not knock on the door to see if you needed towels at all. We had to ask for towels at the front desk multiple times just to be met with they were all dirty and in the laundry 3 days in a row. Last day we were there we asked for towels only to end up in an argument with one of the owners being very unprofessional and following us back to the room telling us to be professional or get out. Over towels…then sent his son to talk to us about disrespecting his father but not owning up to his father causing the issue over the towels. Told us they are a motel and will not provide towels when asked but next day and to go to a Hilton if we expected that. Something so basic. We cut our stay short. I’ve never been treated so poorly and would not recommend unless it’s a last resort

I arrived late after reserving a non‑smoking room, but was given a smoking room without any warning. When I went back to the front desk, the employee insisted it was a non‑smoking room and said nothing else was available. I was offered an air freshener and an apology, which didn’t help because the smoke smell was overwhelming.

The next morning at checkout, a different employee told me the room was a smoking room and that Expedia lists smoking rooms as non‑smoking when the actual non‑smoking rooms are unavailable. I did not appreciate being lied to by the first employee, the strong smoke odor, or the condition of the bathroom. Also, the shower looked so unpleasant that I chose not to use it.

Zero attention to detail in cleaning. Dirty floors, dirt and straw stuck to the wall, hair in the sheets, curtain falling off the window, toilet barely flushed, water pressure in the shower was horrible. I really can’t think of many positive things to say other than there was parking available and I had a roof over my head for the night. Absolutely would not recommend.

The owner, the managers, housekeeping, and maintenance were ALL very helpful, and pleasant. Examples of helpful and pleasant owner and team members are as follows:

- When a room on the 1st floor became available, I asked a man from Maintenance if he could take my big piece of luggage down the stairs and lift it into the car. He did so with a smile and offered to do more if needed

- A young lady from housekeeping (who was working upstairs) happily agreed to get me a few items I needed. When she realized her cart was out of a couple of items, she RAN across the second story and down the stairs. She did the same back up the stairs. She also smiled as and asked if I needed anyrhing else.

- When I asked for early check-in after I changed rooms from the 2nd story to the 1st floor, the manager waived the Early Check-in fee, because I had my dog with me during a heat wave.

The Bellingham Motel 6 is dog-friendly AND does NOT charge any fees for dogs. They have a well maintained pool. And they have a convenient laundry service at a reasonable rate. In addition, they are at a great location near Western WA University and the Port of Bellingham, as well as near museums, many good restaurants, and many other tourist attractions. They are 5 stars out of 5 stars!

We stayed at the Motel 6 because I got behind on planning and needed a place to stay that same night and everything else was booked. It's definitely an older building and it's located right next to I-5. You WILL hear highway traffic. But the place was cheap, clean, and the owners (who appear to be new as of mid-2026) were very helpful. It's also relatively walkable to both campus as well as the main downtown Bellingham area. The mattress was definitely on its last legs, but surprisingly didn't cause me or my wife discomfort. The AC was very effective on an unusually hot Pacific NW weekend. The shower configuration was a bit odd and the water pressure low (due to a flow restrictor I believe), which made getting the dust of from our punk rock festival a bit of a challenge. But it all worked out. If I wanted a cheaper place to stay in Bellingham, I would definitely come back.

Property is a budget friendly motel, convenient to the freeway and the town of Bellingham. Staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly on check in. Price was the draw for a 1 night stay, but I came to find the ownship of the motel changed very recently and the motel was purchased by a family as a franchise. The new owners were on site and really made the effort to offer excellent service. (Including help hauling bags from the vehicle to the room). I like to support locally owned businesses and these owners rewarded me for that effort. If I’m passing thru Bellingham, I would certainly stay there again. Pool locked inviting and clean, though I did not use it.

This property is under new management, and they go above and beyond to be helpful and kind. I tend to stay at Motel 6 whenever possible because I travel with my dogs and pets are always free, even the big ones like mine! My stay was pleasant, they gave me the option as to which side of the building I wanted and really went out of there way to make sure I was comfortable. They are really working on making improvements to the rooms and the property, I will definitely stay here again.

Deserves 0 star. Avoid this motel.
Tldr: filthy & rude.
The bathroom was filthy when I checked in. Losts of hair around (see photos). And there is a hole in bedding sheet. The staff refused to address the higenity issue and was super rude and arrogant. \"What do you want?.. I can't do anything about it.. all other rooms are booked.. It is what you get from a motel..\" then for a sec, he mentioned he had a room available but without fridge or microwave, but when I requested it for room exchange, he refused because he feared being unable to resell my room since it's dirty. Yeah like I am the only one who have to suck it up. This is beyond extravagant and I was severely mistreated. I checked in July 4th 2026.

Not much to say about or expect from a Motel 6, so I get it. It's definitely a type of place that would get the job done for a quick weekend stay. The cleanliness of the room was average, but the bed was really soft and comfortable. The thing we didn't like at all was the outside street noise we easily heard -- it didn't matter if the TV was on or if the window was still closed. What made up for the experience was the excellent customer service at the front desk, specifically the guy who's from LA. Forgot his name, but we clicked! Cool guy.

Well, the saying that \"you get what you pay for\" was definitely applicable here. The television was very slow to respond. I had to play around with the air conditioner in order to get it to work. When it did work, it was great. The shower was marred in the bathroom so it looked like it hadn't been cleaned, but I think it had. The shower curtain looked dirty. It was very basic. Close to a McDonald's, but that's about all I saw. The location was convenient for what I was doing. My reservation was only 1 night. The checkout person did ask how my stay was and when I answered, \"okay\", he did tell me to review and that they they had changed ownership and were in the process of making things better. He was very nice. 3 out of 10 for this place.

We stayed weekly for a while, looking to settle in Bellingham.
The employees do not communicate. You cannot get a complete set of sheets and towels. The pool was open over 4th of July but only to owners family , not guest. Then closed next week after family left. Different rooms have different issues like tv not working, toilet runs all the time. Lights vary if they have a bulb. We found the owner does not care, I am sure Motel 6 would be upset to see how this place is being run. More times than not I’ve machine would not work, after a day or two you tell front desk, they did not know it was out of order. We stayed due to convenience.
