We stayed at the Best Western Lakeway Inn on the tail end of the 4th of July weekend for a little get away vacation from Seattle. The location was easy to find right off the highway and right next door was a grocery store to pick up some snacks. The room was very clean with a flat screen tv and... more

There is not much to choose from in Bellingham and so on that basis this was the best I suppose. The room was fine but we never got the rollaway we were promised each night. The staff was extremely pleasant and courteous and even gave us a free room the first night since they had no rollaway. After the second... more

We stayed at the Best Western Lakeway Inn for one night after having stayed at the Hampton Inn about a month before. This hotel has a better location--it's a 5-minute drive into the center of town on surface streets, and you could even walk there if you wanted to (though you'd have to go under the freeway). The hotel is... more

I flew in from Boston to Bellingham to visit friends. The scenary is beautiful, the hotel was modern, clean, with lots of amenities including a lounge with live entertainment. I'm usually an optimistic person, but one incident clouded my entire stay. One night around 9pm-11pm, I was already in my pajamas, and I wanted to buy a soda, so I... more

My 3 sisters and I were looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend getaway and that was exactly what we found at Best Western Lakeway Inn. We wanted to take advantage of Bellingham's beautiful outdoors while enjoying the great little shops with quaint restaurants in town. Dana, at the Best Western was SO helpful & drove us to Fairhaven where we... more

This is a wonderful hotel - clean, safe, convenient, comfortable, modern and the staff is great! The room was very nicely appointed and my wife and I both really were impressed with the quality of the furnishings to the color scheme in the room. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept very well. This was the first hotel... more

Staff was great upon check-in. I was upgraded to a suite (due to my Best Western membership status) without prior knowledge / effort. That was a nice surprise. The food in the cafe and in the bar was very good and the bar wait staff was excellent - friendly and informative with recommendations on menu items. The hotel was very... more

The agent who took my reservation was very inviting and helpful, and the day I arrived the check in went so smoothly it was like the agent was reading my mind. I brought my dog, and as much as I'm a dog lover, I don't love all dogs and appreciated that the hotel has designated areas where the dogs are... more
