Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located near downtown Friday Harbor, making it easy to explore the shops, restaurants, and ferry landing. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, offering a free shuttle service to various island spots. The rooms may need updating and had a peculiar old smell, but overall, it's a convenient choice for a stay in the harbour area.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room could accommodate me, my husband, and our 4 kids, the cleaning service was subpar with visible debris on the carpet throughout our stay. Despite the friendly and helpful staff, the lack of new toiletries and the cramped living area due to the fold-out bed were noticeable downsides.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not properly cleaned, and the lack of a ceiling fan made it feel stuffy. However, the spacious layout with multiple bedrooms and a full kitchen was a plus.
