Fidalgo Country Inn, Anacortes

Check-In was fast and super friendly, the man at the desk was warm and welcoming and efficient. I got up to the room, I was pleased with how quiet the hotel seemed to be, particularly the hallways. Got into my room and wasn’t overly impressed... pretty much you run of the mill Motel 6 type room, which I was grateful to have after such a long day. After settling in a bit, I found the room to be very stuffy, went to turn the A/C on for a few minutes to cool it off a bit, but the A/C didn’t work, so I put it in fan mode and that helped, but only a little. Went to take a shower and found hair on the floor in a couple spots and smudges on the counters, which made me wonder how clean the room really was. Showered and found the towels to be very rough, almost the consistency of a wool rug. Not pleasant! Climbed into bed to find the bed made unevenly, so remade the bed before settling back in. The sheets were very unpleasant feeling as well. If I had to rate the stay overall, I’d give it a 4-5/10. With the service and quiet being the only saving graces. I’d not stayed here before, but hadn’t heard anything about it either, so thought I’d give it a chance. Maybe I’ll try it again in a few years and see if they get things up to snuff, but in the meantime I’ll stay elsewhere.

It was apparent when I first walked in that the room hadn't been vacuumed, i did not complain die to the fact the bed was clean. That first impression left a bad taste though, and being someone who used to work in hospitality. I know the location you're in is a prime location, so hopefully your housekeepers learn their job depends on the satisfaction of their customers.

This hotel is in an awkward location although convenient to the highway. There is really nothing to do at this location so you will need to drive to do any shopping touring sightseeing etc....

Nice place, typical continental breakfast. Very comfy bed and pillows. A little street noise though.

This was the second time I stayed at Fidalgo Country Inn. I came back because the first trip was also a positive experience. Excellent value and great facilities, easy drive to Anacortes and south to Whidbey Island. Rooms were clean, comfortable and roomy. Everything worked. That seems basic but a number of places I've stayed in lately can't even clear that bar. I'll be back again.
