Friday Harbor

It was about 1 mile away from ferry but definitely walkable. The woman who checked us in was very friendly. The room was clean and small.

One night on Friday Harbor

The accommodations were adequate for my one night business stay. I would stay here again. Taking in sunset from Line Kiln State Park was the highlight.

Joyce, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Small clean room. The room was cleaned for us during our stay which is usually only done at high end motels/hotels. This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to Friday Harbor and aren’t planning on spending a lot of time in your room. We would rather splurge on good food and experiences and save on our room

Ok for one night

It was fine for the price and for a quick one night stay solo. Check in was friendly. Bed was comfy and clean. Room was incredibly small. No coffee in the morning as promised.
