We enjoyed the central location of the hotel. Parking was tricky, and we wish the hotel had parking spaces on the lot across the street.

Great location!
We realized we do not like shared bathrooms and it was tough not having any running water in the room. Even a small sink woulf be great!

Cool old building with modern updates. The remote check in was clear and smooth.We received a couple texts from staff checking in during our stay, so it still felt very personable. Would highly recommend.

Very cute and the decorating, facilities, equipment were very nice. We were fortunate enough to have the shared bathroom to ourselves during a covid peak, so that was nice as well (we visited during the week in autumn). Right in the heart of everything in Friday Harbor. We would stay here again.

The key area that was excellent was the staff Arlene and Holly. I was not aware that there was not dedicated parking. I walk with a cane and we had to park down the block. Also, the check-in was virtual and we had some difficulty understanding how to access the room. For the room we had you go through a swinging door to the left that appeared to be pad locked. It would be great if the padlock was removed totally making it less confusing. I would have also liked some type of security latch on the entrance door. This hotel was comfortable and conveniently located. In the living room they had a shag thick rug under the coffee table that due to the closeness I tripped on a couple of times. Again, I want to close and state that Arlene and Holly were absolutely great.

Great location but limited comfort
It’s well-located, with clean modern fixtures and furnishings. But this is not a hotel, it’s a multi room ABNB. There’s no staff on site and response time to texts can vary. I can only speak for our room (12) which was a large bathroom with a bed in it. You step out of the shower right to the bed. The toilet has a sliding door, but it’s only a few feet from the bed. Power outlets are very hard to access. There is limited dresser and hanger capacity. No fridge or microwave. The room is an example of a Paul Simon lyric, “One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor.” You can hear EVERYTHING going on on the floor above you. So, great location but limited comfort for the price.
