Hotels Near The Airport
If you're flying in to Bellingham Airport or flying out to some
sunny destination you may want to stay at a hotel near the
Bellingham Airport. For most people the best choice is the
Bellingham Hampton Inn Hotel located right off of I-5 at Bakerview
Rd. on Bennett Dr. about a block and a half from the Bellingham
Airport Terminal. If you would rather just grab a room for the night
and are looking for bargain accommodations you should look into the
Shamrock Motel just a few doors north of the Hampton Inn.
Reviews for the Shamrock are often mixed but you can save money
staying there.
