Great place to stay in the heart of the harbor! We got the king suite and loved the decor and cleanliness. The virtual check in was a snap- we will be back for our next trip to Friday Harbor!

Beautiful!

By far this was one of the best hotels we stayed at! It was extremely clean and convenient (located in the center of downtown with the grocery store and several restaurants a minutes walk).

Really amazing hotel...

Everything, including check-in, is self service...but the room has everything you need and there is extra of everything available in the lobby. Really impressed with the way this hotel has responded to the COVID crisis. Location is fantastic. View from our deck was amazing. Overall a great stay!

Great Location

I highly recommend this hotel. Very clean and comfortable. We were there during COVID so check in instructions were all online. We were close to all restaurants. We had a rental car and was able to find parking. We even had a slight ocean view. The courtyard had all chairs and beautiful flowers.

Best *hotel* accommodation on the island! My partner and I have visited San Juan Island aka Friday Harbor before so we went this weekend for a getaway but this time, decided to try staying at the renovated Bird Rock Hotel instead of [another local hotel]. This hotel took my call and gave me and my partner the best deal for a Queen-sized room for a 2-nights stay (whereas booking.com charged $20 more) so we were already impressed with the price we got. The room itself was quaint (Palos room), the amenities convenient (coffee stand, satellite hdtv and 150 DirecTV, etc), and general aesthetic modernized and sleek but not lifeless.
