Disappointing at best.
Pros:

Not much. The hot water was good. The front desk staff were nice. I was glad to be able to open the window and that it had a good screen.

Cons:

The entire part of the hotel where my room was located smelled horrible of cigarette smoke. The worst I have ever experienced. The day before I left they had it cleaned, but the next morning I could still smell residual cigarette smoke. The hot tub and sauna were out of order as well. I chose the hotel for those features.

Pros:

I had some difficulty navigating the TV channels when trying to find some local channels. Perhaps a guide to give customers advise on how to access TV channels. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The motel is

This is a good stopover property.
Pros:

This is an old road motel and it shows its age. It was quiet and comfortable. The lady making me a waffle in the morning was a nice touch.

Hot tub not working as I was told
Pros:

We live in Canada and travel to Bellingham a few times a year. We just about always stay here due to the price and the hot tub. The hot tub has not been working lately so this time we called before heading down there. I was told the hot tub had been fixed and was working. So we booked and headed down. Got there, checked in and headed out for some shopping and dinner. After dinner we got back and I changed I to my swimsuit and headed for the hot tub. I noticed the cover was not on but didn’t worry about it. I tried to turn the jets on but they didn’t turn on. I dipped my toe in and it was barely warm. I went to front desk and told the guy and he said he’d check on it and call me. Never heard back from him. Very disappointed as we live in an rv full time and without a bath tub really enjoy the hot tub experience. Not sure about staying here in the future.

Very good, for a budget-wise stay.
Pros:

People were freindly, responsive. Bed comfortable, clean, large. Windows have blackout curtains. They were accomidating when I add a day to my stay and I kept the same room. Was able to park just below my window.

Cons:

Really wasn't anything wrong for an older motel.
