Lions Inn Motel, Bellingham

My husband & I had to be in Bellingham for a family emergency and when my husband made our hotel reservations he felt good about booking at a 4 star motel. When we arrived Nick the manager was very friendly but led us to our "suite" which featured disgusting, out dated furniture and stained smelly carpet. The silk plants were covered in dust and spider webs and the kitchenette had dirty appliances that hadn't been wiped down in a very long time. The lineoleum floor had food and dirt caked on it and a sticky spill throughout. It was obvious that an airfreshner had been used to mask some strange odor but only aggravated our allergies more. The bedroom was poorly decorated and had the same gross, stained carpet in it-we knew if we stayed we'd be wearing our flip flops the whole time and sleeping in our clothes. The bathroom appeared to be sort of clean but not to the standard you'd want when traveling. The "suite" had no air conditioning and all the windows were open and some windows didn't even have screens. I cannot believe that this place has gotten good reviews! We could have dealt with out dated furniture and zero ammenities but the filth in our room was unacceptable. We paid for 2 nights but stayed for a total of 10 minutes. We checked in to the Best Western and happily paid for an additional 2 nights-The Lions Inn was so bad that we didn't bat an eye about paying for 2 separate hotels! We will be disputing the charge for the accomadations or lackthereof at Lions Inn.

This motel was exceptional. Remodeled rooms, very clean and comfortable, very private and very very quiet. Manager's name is Nick, and he was extraordinary and attentive in making my stay a pleasurable experience. Rooms are constructed so well you never hear any neighbors or any noise, rooms are clean and well appointed. This little hotel is a gem of a find and is highly recommended. Convenient to all attractions and travel in Bellingham with excellent rates.

Clean and quiet close to everything in town . Management is curteous and helpful with things to do and places to see. Will stay here anytime Im visiting the Bell.

Booked a reservation, a severe snow storm in the area restricted road travel, canceled, owner/manager waived the 24 hr. cancelation charge due to an act of God, very good and decent old school decency, not like the faceless big chain motels, which have only corprate unsympathetic rules. Will definitly use again and recomend to all friends and family. Kudos to the Lions Inn for good old fashion buisness practises. This customer was treated right.

Nothing fancy here, basic accommodations, clean rooms, quiet residential neighborhood, friendly service aimed to please and the manager took time to answer all our questions and help us really learn this beautiful town fast. We 'll tell all our friends, lions inn is a great place to stay in Bellingham, hopefully our future home town.

I did not stay here though had intended to after looking at the website and seeing the posted rates and photos. According to the website, the hotel's "largest and best room" was $69. But when I called to book, the person I spoke to said that the cheapest room available was $79, despite what was posted on the website. Further, he seemed rather sarcastic. Found a better room for less money after so am glad this did not work out.

The rooms are quiet, comfortable, safe and very pet friendly. We had our 3 kids, dog and cat and really enjoyed our stay. Elizabeth park is two blocks from the motel. It is a really nice park and you walk through a very quaint neighborhood to get there. For dinner I suggest the Hong Kong Garden two blocks away on Meridian St. Yes, we would stay here again.

Definitely recommend Lions Inn. Owner is very friendly and accommodating. Also a riot to chat with. He always has something interesting to say or just a friendly "How are things going?". Great location, clean, and comfortable. Prices are very fair. I stay here quite often when I come to Bellingham and have NEVER had a bad experience! Worth it if you're down in Bellingham for the weekend to do some shopping or some sight seeing.

The Lions' Inn Motel is definitely worth a look! The rates were very reasonable, the manager, Nick was very friendly, checked our room to make sure everything was perfect. He keeps the place very clean and quiet. I had an absolutely stress free experience, and would recommend this Motel to everyone.

I would absolutely never stay at this motel! Even, If it was offered to me for free. The person I spoke to over the phone was extremely rude; it told me a lot of what to expect from any service and/or accomodations with this establishment. My Rating: Liken To A Dud Firecracker--"Fizzled Out!"
