Windmill Inn Lynden,

8022 Washington 539, Lynden, WA 98264

"Throwback to the 50’s, and no change since. Creepy feeling…watched a scary movie to add effect. Definitely eye opening, hehe. Can have conversations with your neighbors through the walls."

"The room was…fine. I’m not sure the room was worth the $110 we had to pay to stay here, but we just needed a room for one night before going up to Canada. Would not have wanted to stay here more than 1 night (the towels looked questionable and there was a loofah in the shower?), but it was fine for what it was. The TV also didn’t work right."

"It was terrible! The walls are very thin so you heard everything your neighbors were doing all night which was not sleeping. There was mold in the shower grout. Very old heaters and air conditioner with shades that were falling apart. No parking for each room. A skid row trailer park right by your rooms and homeless people living in their vehicles. All in all it was a very terrible experience and we did not stay the third night."

"If the purpose of an inn is to provide a place to rest, then Windmill Inn failed miserably. When we arrived, our first impression was that it was slightly run down, and rather than being a convenient place to stay on your way to the border, it felt more like a low income trailer park. When we got into our room, the first issue was obvious. Yes, there were two beds and a TV, but the layout of them made it next to impossible for the occupant(s) of the second bed to see the TV without laying at the opposite end of the bed. Furthermore, only the bed closer to the TV had a nightstand, requiring one of us to either be without our phone, or risk it on the bed overnight. The TV, also, had issues, because the default input setting when you turned it on was not the setting that the cable went through, and there were no instructions on how to fix it. Speaking of the beds, they were stiff and uncomfortable, and one of them had a large dip on one side. This, combined with the thin walls and dripping shower, contributed to the lack of rest achieved. The temperature, as well, contributed to this. There were two space heaters in the room (one uncomfortably close to a bed, the other in the bathroom), with no way to control them. So the room started off cold, requiring the use of the blankets, but became warm overnight, necessitating the removal of said blankets. The blankets and mattress weren't the only issues with the beds, the pillows were also incredibly flat. It would take at least 3 to match the thickness of my well-worn bed at home. Finally, though we were told there was free wi-fi, both "guest" networks were locked, and the password we were given never worked. I personally would never stay here again, and can only recommend it if you're desperate for a place that's cheap."
