Far exceeded our expectations!

We just got back from a week at the Motel 6 in Bellingham and I wanted to let everyone know what a great experience it was. The reason we chose Motel 6 was the price, of course. But everything* and everyone was just wonderful, from Gayle and Janice at the front desk and our housekeeping staff (especially Christopher and Linda)to the clean heated pool, unending ice in the ice machine, and free morning coffee.
Please note, we do not need a lot of frills - the free morning coffee is in the lobby along with the microwave, not in the room. Some of you might find this inconvenient, but it worked well - there was always hot coffee available until 10 a.m. as promised. The Motel 6 bedspreads are not fancy but the sheets and towels were clean and white, not stained or ripped.
Other notes: They were sprucing up the flower beds when we were there in late July 2007. Noise-wise, there is a highway nearby but we requested a room on the other side of the motel and it was very quiet. I would also like to say that the front desk people always took time to answer questions about how to get around and what to see in town. And the key cards for the door always worked well.
In the past we have spent a lot more and got a lot less at other motels. We can highly recommend that you stay at the Motel 6 in Bellingham, Washington.

*We had only one problem - the unadjustable phone volume was too loud so you had to hold the receiver away from your ear to listen. The staff said they would see what they could do for future guests.
