Guest Reviews

• Saranjeet (10/5): - Well my purpose is to see and meet my family in peace arch park.
• Debra (10/5): - nice would stay again anytime
• Karen (8/5): - Good parking, quiet area, good for an overnight stop on the way to/from Canada. A little overpriced for the rather outdated property, but one night was okay.
• Lorilynne (8/5): - The staff were friendly and helpful, and were kind enough to sort out a technical glitch (on Expedia's end). The rooms had updated furniture, but this is an older motel building so even though it's non-smoking there is still a bit of that old lingering whiff. Leaving the window open for a few hours was very helpful, and the room was otherwise clean.
• Michael (8/5): - Everything was great except the shower needs the head replaced. The current Shower head is poor.
• Emma (8/5): - On our way up to Canada. Decided to stay the night in Blaine to be able to cross the border in the morning. Room was nice, only big complaint it that if you're taller than 5'6" or so, the shower head is too low
• Chris (8/5): - Quick stop for us. We got in late and just slept and then moved on. I think the price is a bit on the higher side for the motel as it is old school. It was clean and comfortable though. We would stay again if needed.
• Darci (8/5): - It is an older, cinderblock motel, but it is clean, newly renovated, and the beds were very comfortable. If you just need a place to sleep, it’s perfect.
• brett (10/5): - Clean and comfortable
• Donna (6/5): - It was ok and served it's purpose
• Jeremy (4/5): - Bed bugs at room 112.
• Christine (10/5): - Staff was friendly when i checked. Very fast check in. Romm is inexpendive. Very clean but bare bones.
• David (8/5): - Desk front had good answers to my questions
• Mary (8/5): - Was there for Ragnar relay. Very convenient- could walk to the start.
• Enoc (10/5): - It was very affordable
• Maureen (8/5): - Although this is an older property, it has been beautifully renovated. The room was spacious and updated, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom is still a bit dated, but clean and functional.
• Cheryl and James (6/5): - The room was clean except for an unpleasant smell from sink when water was turned on. Dated decor and poor placement of furnishings. TV either didn’t work or was an extra charge which was not disclosed. Pillows were flat and very few towels which were not refreshed for our second night stay. Not like to stay again.
• KayDee (6/5): Nice hotel - Hotel is close to the Canadian boarder. It was a nice hotel. Nice staff. There was no hand soap. They did refill. Bathroom was small. If you were in the millitary back in the 80's and early 90's you will understand my next reference. This hotel was like Base housing with the unfinished basements . Thats what it felt like.
• Robin (10/5): - excellent access to beach and to the border crossing.
• Edelia (6/5): - Bed too close to each other. Floor uncleaned, no mirror in the room. And my beddings was not changed as requested
• Arline (8/5): - I request non smoking room, but I smell smoke inside the room when I first got in.
• Christine (6/5): - Plain Jane old school motel. Was fine for our one night stay. It is literally right on the border. Walking distance to downtown Blaine, 3 minutes.
• Francine (8/5): - The bed was not so good, and the bathroom was tiny( it was okay I guess…
• Doug (10/5): - Everything fine
• Danette (8/5): - Clean, updated, friendly staff. Area outside unappealing.
• Syed (8/5): - Good
• Hanna (4/5): - One of the beds in our room was wet- looked like a bottle of water had been spilled in the middle of it. We asked to change rooms, but the staff said there were no rooms available. They changed the bedding, but the water soaked through the bedding again. I called the front desk about the issue again, and at that time they stated there was another room available. Should have just transferred us to the other room in the first place. Outside of that, the experience itself wasn't bad. Motel was very old but had been remodeled, except for the bathroom.
• Katelyn (6/5): - Toilet was not working.
• Darla (8/5): - Recently renovated small hotel but very nice for a travel hotel — exactly what I needed. My ratings of good rather than excellent are for lack of amenities rather than quality of the hotel.
• Markland (10/5): - Great place to stay with convenient location.
• Sarah (10/5): Great service and convenient - Convenient and clean. Served our needs for a quick one night stay.
• Thomas (8/5): - The property was clean, the staff very friendly and the breakfast was outstanding. The room was quite small but adequate.
• Erin (10/5): - Clean and comfortable
• April (10/5): - It was fine. Clean and comfortable.
• Michael (10/5): - Great place to stay
• Wendy (6/5): - Very close to the border, clean and comfortable enough for one night.
• Dave (4/5): - Besides The T.V. signal issues. Moved me to another room, which had the same issues? I checked out a day early. They never responded for a credit. So much for customer service?
• Steve (10/5): - This is a nice motel in Blaine
• Daniel (10/5): - Blue collar construction worker become teacher review follows. The property is old, but has a very tasteful renovation, and not just lipstick on a pig. The fascia board is all new, some 2nd story walkway supports have been added, and new anti-slip staircases were added in place of the likely circa 1960 concrete steps. New vinyl windows are in place and reduce any noises well. The interior has new carpet, paint, countertops and furniture. If I owned this property, this is exactly what I would have done with it. Price was affordable, service was spartan but totally sufficient, and the property was clean. I love this place!
• Sean (10/5): - I will definitely stay here agin if back in the area.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Bathroom amenities were clean but old. Toilet was so low to the ground we literally had to fall onto it.
• Kyaw (6/5): - bathroom drain does not work very well. clogged.
• Marianne (10/5): -
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Not very clean.
• KATHRYN (6/5): - The room was nice and clean.
• Nona (10/5): - Staff was very kind, room was clean and looked to be newly remodeled.
• Siavosh (8/5): - All good
• Ivan (6/5): - Good for one night
• Julia (10/5): - Comfortable bed, quiet, clean, in beautiful Blaine, WA
• Sara (8/5): - One thing right off to note is that the beds are incredibly tall - I'm about 5'7 and the bed surface is about hip-height to me. If that's not a dealbreaker then you're in for a treat because on this bed I had one of the best nights of sleep in recent memory. Beyond that this place is pretty standard without a whole lot of bells and whistles. If you're someone who relies on mobility aids you might find it a little difficult to navigate this room (I stayed in a single king - they may have more accessible accommodations in other rooms, but you should definitely check before committing). The bathrooms are pretty small but the adjustable showerhead almost makes up for it. For the price and the proximity to the border crossing, you can't beat it though. It was a fantastic stay and I will definitely keep it on my list for future trips.
• Harmanpreet (2/5): - It was dirty and so outdated.
• Andrea (10/5): - Great for the low price
• BigMan (4/5): - Wasn’t too impressed
• ANGELA (10/5): - The staff was amazing. The room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable!!
• Sharon (8/5): - Extremely
• Scott (10/5): - Close to highway and restaurants.
• Don (6/5): - Average
• frank (8/5): - Nice and quiet
• Festim (10/5): - I was very pleased with the staff at first because they were very kind — the young woman in the beginning and the young man were both very helpful and polite. However, on the last day, a woman at the reception was very rude and unprofessional. I simply asked if I could leave my suitcase at the reception for one hour, but she responded in an unfriendly and disrespectful manner. This left a very negative impression at the end of an otherwise good stay.
• Gabriel (10/5): - Wonderful room and stay. Hreat staff!
• Zohaib (2/5): - I had to leave early in the morning, I left the keys inside the room in a safe and secure place and locked the door so the staff can get it when i called them. Later the same day i was called and accused of not leaving keys. I was charged my deposit of 200 extra to replace locks. This place is a scam and beware of bed bugs. Room had a stench i cannot describe.
• travis (8/5): - room was very clean
• Catherine (10/5): - Quiet space
• Wendy (6/5): - Very close to the border and easy to get on I-5.
• Eduardo (8/5): - No soap in dispenser. Fridge made clicking noise on occasion
• Steven (8/5): - Handy to the border bed super comfortable
• M-jot (8/5): - Good
• John (10/5): - They were nice. It was a comfortable clean room.
• Deepak (10/5): - Very fine hotel to stay
• Scott (8/5): - My stay was great hardly anybody there. My room was adjoining and unfortunately, the walls are pretty thin nothing crazy though.
• Sara (8/5): - Great stay Clean and quiet Nice staff
• Mallinath (10/5): - Open parking is the only problem specially noticed on a snowy day. The motel is very clean and tidy.
• Brenda (8/5): - Although an older property it is clean and the staff is nice, it could use better internet connections.
• Jason (2/5): Never Again - We arrived late as we were traveling, the front desk worker came out in his pajamas I assume, barely awake. He spoke very poor English which made communication strained. Once we were in our room everything looked pretty standard for a no tell motel. The couch in the room was dirty and stained, there was still food in the fridge, the kick in the nutz of it all was when I went to take a shower, the shower head did not produce water. I happened to have a crescent wrench in the car, and I was able to remove the shower head, and took a shower with the straight piece of pipe protruding from the wall. I booked this listing based off of reviews. If you have any sort of expectation, I would not recommend this place.
• maureen (10/5): - Nice room, clean, friendly. Close to freeway
• Donna (6/5): - Older property but room was clean and check-in staff friendly. WiFi not functioning well. Convenient for stay while moving out of close-by rental
• Emilee (2/5): - Hotel took my money and wouldn’t let me stay Because my mom was paying for my hotel. Seems ridiculous
• Charles (6/5): - low price motel
• Manjinder (10/5): - Very good
• Amanda (10/5): - Used this place for the Taylor Swift concert in Vancouver. Last exit before the border to Canada, the hotel is clean, quiet, and comfortable. The price was great and it was an EASY drive to Vancouver. We actually drove to a park and pay at Scott Road and took the train into downtown! If I was ever going to visit Vancouver again I would stay at this hotel.
• Leonard (8/5): - Overall, this was a convenient motel for the price and what we needed for one night.
• Brandy (2/5): - Room was not the cleanest. Stained sheets and towels. Floors had crumbs and dirt. One of the beds creaked really bad. The towels had some strange residue on them, I used them and broke out in a rash. Also woke up to bites and welts on my body both mornings. Other guests did not. Was bad enough I checked out early and ate the cost.
• Paul (4/5): - The room was fine. The staff was friendly. Thew wifi was beyond horrible and I was trying to get some work done. I had to go to Starbucks. The TV didn't work. I was there 2 night, but my room was not cleaned after the first night. Never had that happen.
• Gagandeep (10/5): - Staff are nice and easy way to book by call or online
• omkar (10/5): - Very good experience 10 out10 must book when you visit peace arch park
• Ishtiaq (10/5): - Excellent
• Diana (6/5): Good value - Good basic accommodations, friendly staff and the room was very clean.
• Ruth (10/5): - Close to border. Clean and quiet
• Amrik (2/5): - Owner not very friendly staff ok
• Diana (10/5): - It appears they might have upgraded the property, clean, quiet, and close to the border.
• Sean (6/5): - I showed up to check in at about 8 pm. The person at the desk nodded when I said hello. He was busy copying numbers very slowly into a receipt book. He did not say "Good evening," "I'll help you in a few minutes," or "Please have a seat while I finish this task." He didn't speak at all. After five minutes I said, "I'm here to check in." He said "yes," and went back to doing what he was doing. After ten minutes he was ready. It took another ten or fifteen minutes to check me in. He said that the computer was being slow. Checking someone in should never take twenty minutes. He silently handed me the key and that was it. This morning when I went to check out, there was no one at the desk; just a key drop box. The room itself was just fine! But because of the reception, I'm never coming back.
• Lovepreet (10/5): - Super clean and quiet
• Susan (6/5): - The hotel staff were very polite. The room was very clean. It was a good value and met my needs. Easy access to I-5 was convenient. Blaine is a cute little town and the location was convenient for us.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - It was horrible
• Lew (10/5): - Nice clean and quiet
• Teresa (6/5): - Needs better coffee
• Hollis (8/5): - Stay was convenient. Only down fall was internet service was slow & spotty. As a result, people were regularly in the parking lot talking on their phones out loud late at night & early morning.
• Aida (6/5): - nice
• Younes (6/5): - Unfortunately it’s only motel close to the park, hotel staff are unwelcoming and when ever you have questions, you should wait for 10min in front of reception for them, but it’s clean and safe
• James (8/5): - Older motel in a good location. Staff were nice enough, price was right.
