Cozy, cute, and relaxing.
Pros:

We came to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday and not only were we upgraded to a nicer hotel room, but they left us a card, some treats, and mentioned it to us throughout our stay. The entire staff was helpful and authentic and kind. Thanks especially to Zoe Twilight and the waitstaff. All of you made our trip memorable and we felt so welcome.

Cons:

Not a thing! :)

Great place to stay on the island
Pros:

Absolutely loved our stay at Friday Harbor House on San Juan Island and would stay again! The front desk sent me a text to let us know our room is ready, they were super easy going and friendly, easy check out and so on! We loved the fire pits outside! Our room was directly facing the harbor and we loved the sunset and sunrise views. Will stay again!

Best stay ever!
Pros:

This was one of the best stays I have ever had! They texted us on the day of to let us know the room was ready early! Our dinner at the restaurant was the best ever! They lit the fireplaces outside for us and brought us out our drinks and dessert! For breakfast we wanted the mermaid mimosas and they were out of the juice but they made a special one just for us! The attention to detail by all of the staff made this the best stay! Thank you so much!

The Most Wonderful Stay for Our Babymoon!
Pros:

We had the best time at Friday Harbor House! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. We had some unexpected flight delays, and the team was incredibly kind and flexible in helping us move our reservation — such a relief after a long day of travel!

We were visiting for our babymoon, and to our surprise, the staff upgraded our room and even made me special mocktails. It was such a thoughtful touch and truly made us feel celebrated and cared for. Those little details made the trip unforgettable — it honestly became my favorite part of our getaway.

Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations for a whale-watching tour and a perfect dinner spot in town.

We can’t recommend Friday Harbor House enough — it was the perfect mix of comfort, hospitality, and charm. We’ll absolutely be back!

Disappointing stay at the Friday Harbor House
Pros:

Too expensive for what you get. Not worth it. Star rating is not accurate. Staff not very friendly. Maybe a bad weekend that we stayed. Not sure. It was over $500 plus a night not $50.00. Should be extraordinary!

Excellent stay, food, and staff.
Pros:

The staff were very kind, personable and accommodating. They adjusted our stay to meet our needs when our sea plane got delayed. The restaurant had the best pancakes and the room was very cozy and clean. We had a lovely view of the harbor from our balcony. We would highly recommend staying here.

World Class Location and Service
Pros:

From start to finish this property exceeded my wife and I expectations. The view is like a postcard. The room was beyond perfect. The dining experience didn’t disappoint.

We are very well seasoned travelers and the Friday Harbor House is now on top of our list.

Don’t walk but run to this world class hotel.
