Hampton Inn Bellingham Airport - Bellingham, Washington

Brought my dog and they were kind and respectful. The rooms are great. I am on crutches and the lady made sure my room was right by the elevators. The breakfast has been amazing! So many choices and dairy free choices which is perfect for my family! The coffee in the lobby is amazing too. Such great staff. The shower has been easy for me to get into with my crutches. Close by everything

We booked this hotel before reading some of the recent reviews...

I was a bit nervous sure to some recent poor reviews/ratings and negative comments. I could not have been more pleased with our stay!!

1. This was the first time we were taking our EV out and about, away from home. So public charging was super important. Not only did they have ample parking and options for EV charging, it was FREE! This was a huge plus.

2. The location was perfect. Hardly had to get on the freeway to get around Bellingham. Easy 10 minute or less drive to so many great places.

3. The overall hotel experience was great. Easy parking, friendly staff, clean room, decent and free breakfast, nice amenities. The room was really well laid out, very clean, and comfortable.

I'm sure some of the previous reviews had merit, we just never ran into any issues or concerns. I would highly recommend this hotel while visiting Bellingham, and will stay here again in the future.

This is my one of favorite Hampton inns Ive ever stayed at. I stayed here 2 weeks ago. Everything about the trip was exceptional. There was plenty of parking right out front the door, the lady at the front desk was helpful and friendly. Most importantly, the rooms were CLEAN. Not a single part of the hotel had any visible damage or dirt. The rooms had modern technology, the bathrooms were fully stocked with towels, and the tv was the largest I’ve seen at a hotel. Overall in my top 2 budget hotels.

Unfortunately my Trip to Bellingham was marred by a stay at this Hilton.
The rooms were dirty, The first room they put me in smelled so badly of mold and perfume. I switched to another room. It wasn't much better. The room service was non-existent. I was there for five nights. Not once did I get my room cleaned.
The pool and the hot tub had dirt in each. Turning on the hot tub created a bubble bath. I don't think the water had been changed in a while.
They allow people with large pets in the hotel rooms. Barking in the rooms nearby kept me from sleeping well.
The breakfast bar was a variety of processed foods.
If you have to go to Bellingham, avoid this place.
It was close to work. That was the only benefit.

Edit: Reading all the other reviews I see that the hotel takes vouchers. Now it makes sense. Second night here, the fire alarm went off at 11:00, Third night here one of the other guests was fixing his bike in the hallway and yelling at his dogs at 11: 20p. All the rooms smell like smoke that I've been in.

Again, stay away from this place. It's a nightmare.

We came to Bellingham for my son’s graduation from WWU. Whenever possible we stay in Hampton Inns when traveling since they are very family friendly and affordable. Check in was easy and our room was great. Nicely decorated and very clean. As expected, they had a solid free breakfast.

Our only issue was the behavior of one of their what I am assuming is live-in guests that was not addressed in a timely fashion by the Hampton Inn staff.

During our first morning, he was in the breakfast room with his dogs. As he moved around getting his food, they moved around dragging their leases very loudly on the ground. He then kept yelling at them this when on for 30+ minutes. He would yell them back to their area and then 2 min later they would follow him again.

I have no problem with dogs- but their owner had no respect for the common space. My son even noticed and remarked multiple times “that man is so mean to his dogs.”

The next day we ran into him in the pool area- where when he entered, he slammed his skateboard on the pools deck. No regard for others, no apology.

Later that night he was banging around in the hallway outside our room with his bike and speaker. He tried to open our door at some point by mistake and I stepped into the hall to see what was going on, I could not believe that it was him again.

And finally on our third and final morning when my son and I came downstairs for breakfast he was seated next to another man blasting videos from his phone. Again, just no regard for others and common spaces. I checked in with the front desk and eventually the GM checked in and the music went off. But that was after 45+ minutes.

The staff clearly knows him. When his dogs ran in one morning the front desk staff member greeted them by name. It’s just frustrating that his behavior and disregard for common spaces is left unchecked. This definitely soured this otherwise amazing weekend. I also felt bad for the kitchen staff that had to clean up the floor from where he was feeding his dogs from the breakfast bar.

I would not recommend this location to anyone anytime soon.

We came here & stayed because our son had a soccer game. The Hotel itself was clean, the staff very friendly and the breakfast was great. But because we came with kids I would want to give this 1 Star because it is a “voucher hotel” where they allow homeless to stay. There is a giant homeless camp right next to this location. We did not know this when we booked - had we known, we would not have stayed here. We now know to ask before booking. Now this is nothing against those who don’t abuse this privilege. But my husband found a man in the downstairs bathroom smoking drugs and the smell was so bad that he got a headache. We were then concerned about all the boys using that restroom because we were all in the Lobby watching a soccer game. My husband went back with staff (who were young and he wanted to be backup) to kick the guy out because he was then passed out. Needless to say - that bathroom was shutdown because of the smell of drugs. Other than that - I just wanted to leave this review so others are aware like I wish I would have been.

I showed up with a teenage grandson, 2 1/2 year old Aussie pup, broken truck ( brand new W/ transmission issues) & very large boat on trailer , I met the GM Craig first & he went out of his way to both help us park and store boat on property as well as get us settled in so truck could be towed to dealer , beginning our unexpectedly longer than planned stay!! The staff were all welcoming and helped us manage the 5+ weeks we stayed with them, from a great breakfast each day to any and all needs attended to , our stay was above and beyond the norm!! We typically stay at Hampton’s across the country and this particular one is superb!! Actually in my experience the best I’ve encountered. It’s nice, great condition and well staffed !!
Yes there is an encampment of homeless folks across street but we were never bothered and I never saw anyone else bothered either. It’s also not the fault of the hotel they are there!
Being here for a long stay , we met many other guests , from Taylor fans to voucher guests and all were pleasant & nice, also a grump or two but there is always a Scrooge around the corner this time of year!!!
Our dog was befriended by all , guests and staff alike , he acted as if seeing them was like seeing family , we spent most of holiday season here with these folks and have nothing but praise and wonderful memories.
I felt as a business owner myself, that understands review power, a true and honest & expressive opinion/observation type review needed to be shared , it seems many choose to complain about things the hotel is neither responsible for or is out of their control !
After spending 5 + weeks I would happily stay again and plan on doing just that on my way back to BC.

Stayed at this Hampton Inn for 3 nights. The first room we were given smelled of stale air and body odour which was so bad you could not breath in the room! This did not surprise us as the windows do not open to refresh the air in the room. The second room was acceptable but came with only a partly used toilet roll and no spare. We expected the house keeping to replace the existing roll and leave a spare. When we returned the next evening our room still had no toilet rolls. Very poor house keeping. The breakfast was very poor for a Hampton Inn with only 2 choices of bread being white or brown and a toaster made for home use and not like the normal commercial ones in hotels. I was amazed when I went to look for a yogurt in the small refrigerators you normally find in the breakfast room.....it was a plastic laundry tub full of ice and milk with the yogurts placed in it. See Photo. Needless to say we will not be staying here on future visits to Bellingham as there are better choices. One other thing that bothered us was the fact that just across the road from the hotel was a large homeless community and each morning there police cars in the rear carpark that we could see from our bedroom window.
