Motel 6 Bellingham

Only about a mile from downtown Bellingham. Room seemed clean.

Our room smelled like smoke and dogs even though it was a nonsmoking room. The place has an overall rundown appearance. There are sketchy people milling around the property, some seem to be living there, smoking and inebriated. As we were leaving the property to take a walk into town, we passed a shambling drunken man who I took to be a panhandler, but then my partner informed me that "he's our nextdoor neighbor"! When we booked this place it was at the last minute, and this was one of our only affordable options that weekend. We thought "how bad can it be?", but believe me, it was worse than my already low expectations. The neighborhood seems to be the armpit of Bellingham. You definitely should not leave any valuables in your car and make sure you use the door latch and deadbolt when in your room. Or better yet, avoid this place at all costs! One night was too many in this place. We couldn't leave fast enough.

While on the road we sometimes stay at small hotels like this. Usually simple but acceptable. This one is horrible. Smelly, broken toilet and shower, rundown. Certainly take any other option.

Invest and cleanup. The bathroom door is broken. The toilet seat is broken. The AC doesn’t seem to work well. The shower is awful. Try staying one night yourself in your rooms and you’ll see.

There was a stain on bed spread,light bulb in shower didn't work,and it smelled of smoke( I don't think anyone previously smoked in room but when someone smoking outside it seem like the smoke smell was sucked inside the room

there wasn't a breakfast. only coffee. I liked that they were open.

The non smoking room was clearly smoked in. The room was dirty. The walls were filthy and we needed to wear flip flops in the shower. We were afraid of getting bed bugs. We checked out a day early.
