If you need to take a break from all that sightseeing, unwind in the sun at Lake Whatcom. Bring a picnic or a book ... This is the place to switch to relax mode!

When you've spent a bit of time at this body of water in Washington, why not make your way to Western Washington University, Mount Baker Theatre, and Lake Padden Park? They're close to Lake Whatcom and also a favorite with many tourists.

The room/hotel was clean and in a great location! The shuttle service was very helpful for drop-offs in a 2 mile vicinity. The staff was warm and welcoming every single time we entered the hotel and made me happy to stay there. I definitely will come back in the future! The aesthetic is beautiful. ;) Thank you for a positive environment!
