Pros:

It was very convenient to the ferry. The staff was very nice and the room was very comfortable.

Cons:

We were on the second floor with a water view, the large windows are great except there is not much privacy from the patio area.

Views and convenience
Pros:

We were welcomed by Zoe, great employee. Got our room quickly and earlier than check in time. It is a convenient place for walking on and off the ferry. It is located in the heart of the harbor. Great room and a beautiful view. We were in the harbor view on the second floor. I did read a few reviews that said get top floor because you hear the creaking of the floors above. We did hear it, but it was not horrible or anything. This hotel has a magnificent cinnamon roll pancake in their restaurant. I e definitely would stay there again. I will tell you it is a bit pricey, but runs about the same as the other area hotels. Friendly staff and nice rooms.

Cozy, romantic stay with a view close to the ferry!
Pros:

The food was delicious. The location was convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. The view was great!

Cons:

Little things, we asked for room service, but it wasn’t done. Although the food was delicious, it took awhile. The REC was a nice gym, but it would be nice to have a gym inside the facility included with the stay. Not deal breakers.

Comfort Focused in NW
Pros:

The staff was very welcoming and the way they handled arrival and details of our stay was respectful and very welcoming. So relaxed. The room had an outstanding view and actually had 2 comfortable chairs to sit in to enjoy the view. Most rooms only have 1 and 2nd person is forced to sit in bed. The amenities accomodated our comfort.

Cons:

The bed was quite stiff and I woke up on my side with a completely numb hip. After 2 nights I was ready to sleep in my own bed.

My wife and I had a great relaxing weekend in Friday Harbor.
Pros:

It’s very close to the ferry terminal so we were able to just walk on and not worry about getting a car over and back. It gave us more freedom with our travel plans. The restaurant is small but the food is excellent and we had great interactions with all of the restaurant and front desk staff.

Life Affirming experience
Pros:

A stand‑alone hotel that became a genuinely life‑affirming experience for me in the middle of winter, right when I needed an escape. The staff are warm, attentive, and consistently delightful. Breakfast is, without exaggeration, the best in town—comforting, beautifully prepared, and served with real care. My room was spotless, deeply comfortable, and quietly luxurious, complete with a cozy fireplace and an in‑room Jacuzzi tub overlooking the water. The combination of the space, the view, and the kindness of the people made this stay unforgettable.
