It's a 15 min walk from downtown, but we didn't run into any problems with parking in downtown Bellingham. There are plenty of parking spots at GuestHouse. Woods coffee is in the same lot, so it was nice immediately going through their drive through for good coffee. Fred Meyer is immediately across the street so if you forgot anything at home, or need something, it's a quick purchase. The staff was nice and check in and out was smooth and easy. The rooms were cleaned and more modern than the lobby and hallways. It's a dog friendly hotel and we were right next to the exit, so it was nice getting our dog in and out for the bathroom. The shower head could be better. The room felt a bit humid. There was free breakfast in the morning, it's limited breakfast, but it has the basics-- coffee, cereal, waffle, bread, yogurt. You can't take the breakfast food to your room though.

Betty has thought of virtually everything a traveler could need and guests get free reign of the upstairs during their stay. I love that Betty welcomes people to take home unfinished books from her library - "books are meant to be read, not sit on a shelf," she says. Breakfast was made at the prearranged time convenient for us (so appreciated!) and was delicious and abundant. She sat and chatted with us during breakfast and is so personable. We had to depart on a jet plane that afternoon after our 4-day trip to the Evergreen State and had a few bottles of wine that we hadn't enjoyed so I offered them to Betty and she even suggested she could take their value off our bill, although I refused because they were a gift to her for our lovely stay. Would be happy to return to Viewmont Manor if we ever find ourselves back in Bellingham!

Viewmont Manor is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and her home is beautiful. You will wake up in the morning to fresh homemade berry scones and coffee, and Betty will prepare a delicious breakfast! We had hot eggs Benedict on delicate risotto cakes with asparagus on the side. This was served with Greek yogurt and granola, along with a cold glass of orange juice. Even though the food was to die for, the best part about Viewmont Manor was meeting Betty. She is the sweetest, most sincere Bed & Breakfast hostess that anyone could ask for. When you stay at Viewmont Manor you feel like a dear member of her family. I can't wait to come back to visit!

We had room #111, which is the closest room on the second floor to the main (lobby) building. I thought road noise might be a problem, but it wasn't really noticeable. In fact, there were only two things I didn't like about the room. There are no microwaves in the rooms. But there is a small one in the hallway on each building's floor, shared by all. Not as convenient (we use it a lot for tea, coffee, etc.), but good enough. More annoying was the amount of light coming in from the windows. There are bright security lights on all night (that's good), but the curtains were not designed to cope with that light. Therefore, the room remains pretty bright all night. That I really didn't like. You can look at my photos for an idea of what the breakfast buffet included (e.g., 2 kinds of bread, 2 fruits, 4 dry cereals, coffee, etc.) Nothing remarkable, but I have definitely experienced worse. Overall, it was a comfortable, clean, and relatively quiet room, at an exceptionally good price. Service was always very friendly and helpful. And the location is centrally located, near the I-5 freeway, near downtown, and pretty close to Boulevard Park, Zuanich Point Park, and Whatcom Falls Park. If I return to Bellingham, this would definitely be my first choice of lodging.

Service: 5/5 Stars. Granted, we were "low-touch" guests, but everyone was pleasant, prompt, professional, and helpful. The room was perfectly clean and set-up for our stay. The restaurant staff were very nice and accomodating. Quality: 4/5 or 5/5 Stars. I only took off a star because it is a very old hotel and there are limits to what can do without completely tearing down, which would be a massive shame. You could argue for 5 stars for what it is, but I put that love into the value section. They could perhaps do a little more for a more upper-end feel, but then prices would start rising and charm would start to drop. If I ever have a need/desire to stay in Bellingham again, if I'm on a budget or just want to be walking distance from everything in the downtown core, this hotel will definitely be my first thought. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for this.

I'd stayed here ten years prior for a tour of and visit to Western Washington University, and had an equally pleasant stay this time around. As a traveler on a budget, I was grateful both times for the most affordable rates in town; my check-in experience was also quite convenient as I was able to call ahead of time and book a room from the road, albeit very last-minute. I wish to highlight the friendliness and courtesy of the entire family of hard-working, personable and attentive staff. They made me feel right at home from my first point of (telephone) contact all the way through my stay, and the gentleman manager who checked me out at the end actually remembered me from my previous stay ten years ago! I look forward to returning to stay here again, and feel good about supporting a local family with my lodging dollar. Their devotion to high quality guest service deserves a high overall rating. My room was everything I expected it to be: clean, comfortable, immaculate, quiet, and very habitable. The spacious macro-mini fridge was a big plus, as I brought my own food to save money instead of dining out. Other guests have highlighted their HBO service as well. But I didn't have time to watch much on the flatscreen TV as there was so much to explore just a stone's throw from the hotel. The location is fantastic: close to the highway, and less than a mile from the downtown hip strip (local food, music, beer, etc.) on State Street. I brought my bicycle and enjoyed an easy evening ride to some good live music. In the morning, I enjoyed a continental breakfast in the company of a traveling family and a group of friends watching a morning football (soccer) game. Ultimately, the Bay City Motor In is a welcoming, comfortable motel that doesn't pretend to be an ultra-modern, high-end, luxury establishment. But it is my choice when I travel to Bellingham, and is, in my opinion, worth every penny spent.

We were there for a week and there would be times where the hotel workers would start vacuuming early morning in the hall without any consideration of the people sleeping. The "continental" breakfast consisted of plain bagels, plain bread, old looking donuts and maybe a pastry here and there. Juice and coffee was also offered to guests but nothing to get overly excited over.The hotel room was fairly clean and the halls always kinda smelled good but that was the best part of the stay. Overall, unfortunately I wouldn't recommend.
