Hotel Details
3985 Bennett Drive, Bellingham, Washington 98225-1027 United States

Hotel Overview

Bellingham is the last real city before the San Juan Islands and the Canadian border, a Bellingham Bay town with Mount Baker on the horizon and the historic Fairhaven district down by the water. The Best Western Plus Bellingham sits about one mile from the airport in Bellingham, Washington, an easy choice for travelers catching a flight, a ferry, or the road north.

Restful rooms keep the comfort up after a day on the trails or the water, each with a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator. A free breakfast opens the morning, free parking sits outside the door, and the pool and fitness room are there when you want them, with downtown and Fairhaven a short drive away.

Ferries to the San Juans, trails up Mount Baker, and the Fairhaven waterfront all start nearby. Settle in and let the bay set the pace. The brick streets of Fairhaven, full of bookshops and cafes, make for a relaxed evening by the bay.
