The hotel is super nice and very high-quality, My wife had some concerns about a shared bathroom, but it really wasn’t a bad deal at all. Bathrooms are really nice and upgraded. Super nice place!

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!

Cute place in a good location of town; however, we were on the 3rd floor backside facing a parking lot. Loading noise started at 7am both mornings!

Doesn’t light up your life!
The bathroom lighting was extremely poor. We were there for a wedding and got ready with poor lighting. It was awful. My sister who was in another room had no mirrors in the room. We had to go out to buy mirrors. Not sure if we would come back to this hotel.

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.
