Very nice property. has some infrastructure glitches. Very nice staff assistance.
Pros:

Location excellent.

Cons:

problems with availability of hot water, which we did not notice until late in the day of our first night. Could not take showers or use kitchen sink for dish washing. Had to contact management late in the evening. Response good next morning but problem not solved.

Fantastic Stay in a Prime Location!
Pros:

I had an incredible experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely unbeatable, with everything I wanted to see just a stone's throw away. The hotel itself has such a sleek, modern European vibe – the design is minimalist yet chic.
The bed was super comfy, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. A standout for me was the breakfast – the coffee was excellent, and the yogurt with homemade granola was a delightful treat to start the day.
The plush bathrobes were such a nice touch and made lounging in the room even more enjoyable. Plus, the umbrellas provided were a life-saver during our trip, especially when the weather turned a bit rainy.
I can't recommend this place enough! I'll definitely be back.

Very friendly and helpful staff, too many stairs, no elevator and expensive.
Pros:

No breakfast but the location is excellent.

Cons:

For old folks like us, there are too many stairs and no elevator. I believe the price while inline with other similar hotels is too high. We only had a peak-a-boo view of anything outside.

We loved our stay, which provided a cozy room with extras and an easy walk to everywhere.
Pros:

The location was perfect! 2 block walk from the ferry. Great restaurant and waterfront park across the street. Up the steps to top and there ore more excellent restaurants and the Whale Museum. The room was spacious with windows overlooking the harbor. Nicely appointed, and was a nice surprise to find milk, OJ, and yogurt in the mini fridge. Ice and access to dinnerware was in the hallway just a few steps away.

Cons:

We were in Sweet 2. Not sure which room was next to us (headboard wall), but there was a lot of noise of things moving around, closet doors closing, maybe? Some additional sound dampening would do the trick.

Great, but likely not worth the cost
Pros:

Location was fabulous and rooms were nice and clean.

Cons:

I would just be careful with booking. I thought I booked a room with 2 bedrooms vs 2 queens in one room based on photos they showcase. Turns out I got WAY less for my money than I thought and then the worker went into a whole explanation that I could tell he’s done 100x. So just beware.

Perfect stay in Friday Harbor.
Pros:

The location was amazing. We were meeting up with family that were there on their sailboat, so being across from the marina was very convenient. The room was incredibly comfortable and large. We even had our own private patio.

Cons:

We loved everything about this property and will definitely stay here again. Convenient, clean & lovely.
