Hotels near Friday Harbor SPB Airport

Pros: Great hotel, awesome staff!

Pros: Beautiful view. Loved the Euro 1 which had a private room and access to a shared living area. Appreciated the bowl of fruit and all the special touches. Only there for one night - wish we could have stayed longer.

Cons: All good.

Pros: Staff extremely pleasant and helpful! Excellent location! We basically crashed for the night (had to catch the ferry in the am) but it was well worth it! Hopefully next time we can stay a few days. I highly recommend!

Pros: The hospitality was exceptional, location was convenient and the room was very comfortable. The fresh fruit was a lovely touch!

Pros: The fruit available on arrival was very appreciated.

Cons: It would be nice to have an exercise facility, sauna and/or hot tub available. Rooftop? Also, it was frustrating that there were very few places to get a sit-down breakfast and that everything shut down at 9 pm. Not the fault of Island Inn, but that's what we didn't like about our stay.

Pros: We were so happy with the upgrade... loved the view from Sweet 2!! Thank you sooooo much!! Also enjoyed the fruit each day.... lovely and delicious!

Pros: Fabulous chic apartments with all the amenities of home smack dab in the middle of Friday Harbor. Clean, comfortable, and luxurious. 10 stars.

Pros: The location is ideal.

Cons: The rooms were not sound proof at all. We could hear people in the adjacent rooms quite clearly. That was disappointing given the cost of the room.

Pros: The whole experience was wonderful. A bit pricey but it's very worth it.

Pros: Beautiful property close to town and all the amenities! Highly recommended!!

Cons: Clean rooms, beautiful grounds!

Pros: There was no breakfast. It was close to town.

Pros: The hot tub was a pleasure! Very clean and well maintained.

Pros: Beautiful flowers. Helped us carry our luggage upstairs and gave us suggestions for sightseeing.

Pros: Great location..Very clean!

Pros: As we pulled into the parking lot to check in, I got a great feeling. The grounds are pristine. The rooms are spotless, and so much attention is spent on the rooms. The toilet paper even had a little sail boat folded into it. We stayed for our 10th Anniversary, and the porch swings that are placed about the grounds are so nice to sit and enjoy the evening from. We walked to downtown, it is a bit of a walk, but not terrible. The hot tub was so perfect for a nice soak before we headed down to dinner. Katie spent time helping us figure out where to go the next day on Orcas Island. In fact, we even got a great postcard from them, mentioning our Jeep set up, and congratulations on our Anniversary again. The hotel is worth every penny of the rate. I really just want to give the whole experience an A+++++

Cons: I wish they had a small bar on the property, a couple beers and a wine list would be just enough, but there are plenty of local stores you can grab snacks and beverages from, so it is a small thing.

Pros: My husband and I decided to spend the night up in the San Juans and we are so glad we picked Hillside House. It is owned by a very nice couple it was cry well kept and the breakfast was delicious!

Pros: The deck was nice. Close to town.

Cons: No coffee first thing in the morning. Breakfast is served a little late. 8:30 is a late for those of us who want to get on with our day.

Pros: The bed was like a cloud & Nick was a wonderful host & a great cook!

Pros: Our host Nick was amazing, so hospitable. The breakfasts were awesome. We would definitely stay here again!!

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: We liked the idea of having a door and room on the bottom floor as it was and is difficult for my husband and myself to do stairs.

Cons: Stairs.

Pros: Really enjoyed the entire property! The location is convenient to area attractions; our room was tastefully decorated; the deck and garden were wonderful places to relax and catch a view of the boats; and breakfast was delicious. The cookies each afternoon made my day. The owners are friendly, very responsive to inquiries, and offered great suggestions on things to do/ best time to visit sites.

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic! Nick, the Innkeeper, was very kind, easy to talk with, and gracious.

Cons: All was great!

Pros: The breakfasts were wonderful. Owner Nick is a great cook and the meals were delicious.

Cons: The room was a little small and at times we were able to hear the conversations of guests in other rooms.

Pros: Very cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious (mild green chile souffle!) and Nicholas was a great host. The patio was nice and a great place to relax and stargaze. The location is nice and close enough to town to walk to a restaurant.

Cons: The bathroom smelled mildewy and the pillows were very thick/tall, so it was easier to sleep without one.

Cons: The pillows were too firm for our liking

Pros: Nicks cooking was AMAZING!

Pros: The food was delicious, varied and healthy. I expected bacon and eggs, and it was a treat to get breakfast sopas and roasted vegetables. Wonderful way to start the day.

Pros: The location was perfect! I also liked that they walked us to our room and told us about everything. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. Excellent breakfast and recommendations for traveling around the island also.

Cons: A guest had a barking dog below us. The dog quieted once we got in bed and quit moving around. There is no AC, but it cooled down at night.

Pros: Superb location. Wonderful, cozy accommodation.

Cons: Neighbor complained about my son making nose walking up the stairs, because their bed was directly under the staircase

Pros: Exceptional hosts, incredible breakfast, walkable location and very comfortable room and Inn. Highly recommend!

Cons: Everything was perfect!

Pros: The unit had everything we needed for a delightful stay! Wish we could have stayed here longer.

Cons: Driveway/parking lot was a bit tight for lower vehicles.

Pros: Breakfast orange juice milk and granola.

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: Excellent location, thought the directions the Inn provided were totally wrong. They apologized.

Cons: Dark room, no sunlight, partially below grade, light blocked by wide deck on floor above, view of the parking lot. Also, no soundproofing in the ceiling, so when the clomping starts (6:30am our first morning), you hear it loud and clear. Steer clear of the “Shaw Suite” (which isn’t a suite, it’s a studio).

Cons: We passed on breakfast...apparently we were supposed to be asked what we would prefer for breakfast when we checked in....unbeknownst to us. they served us Tex-Mex ...not appealing to us.

Pros: Yes. They were yummy.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location. Amazing view with lawn overlooking the harbor. Wonderful staff. Nicely appointed rooms. Comfortable beds. Continental breakfast included.

Cons: Restaurant was closed on mon and tues (the only days we were there). Price.

Pros: The staff were amazing and went above and beyond my expectations. San Juan Roasting Company coffee was fresh to use every morning in the Chemex in our room. One of the best coffees I've had. Our room had a gorgeous harbor view where we could watch the sunrise. The location was perfect and quiet.

Cons: That we didn't book to stay longer. Lol

Pros: Breakfast was Great, hospitality was off the hook kind (Megan, Nate and Tom). Location was ideal for what we had going on.

Cons: The cost was more than we like to put into a nights stay.

Pros: The room layout was great. Gorgeous views and super helpful staff.

Cons: The price point was really high. We liked the room but don’t think we would stay there again due to the high cost. was the most expensive room of our stay to the San Juan Islands

Pros: Our room.

Cons: We did not feel welcomed when we sat at the bar for dinner & drinks. The female bartender (English scent) was speaking with a friend from the island and ignored us for about a min or two. Was not the friendly or interested in us as house guests. We left on a 10% tip based on that. We normally leave a 20% tip. Also, no priority was given to house guests for dinner.

Pros: Beautiful, modern room. Very clean. In the perfect location. Restaurant was great too!

Pros: We had a beautiful room overlooking the harbor as well as a lovely patio to have our morning coffee. And in the evening when it got a little chilly outside we sat around a fire pit and looked out over the harbor as the sun went down.

Pros: Everything was beyond perfect, from the room (size was generous, view was spectacular, bathroom wonderfully appointed and bed was super comfortable) to the restaurant to the location of the property right on the harbor, and in town.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The kitchen staff was great.

Cons: Bath tub jets were filthy. Cobwebs on the window transom. Cobwebs over all the outside walls and beams. Very hot room with no AC or awnings. No staff after 6pm. There was hair (not ours) on the bed. Intranet was down one of the evenings we were there. No staff available to fix. Room was next to stairs and people were running up and down stairs all night.

Pros: The accommodations were more than we expected. We had a beautiful spot on the water. The beds were comfortable and the blankets plentiful. We especially liked the hot water bottles, but would have liked one for each of us. There were three of us and two hot water bottles. We were disappointed that there was no kindling with the wood for the fire pit. We were unable to get it going. The breakfast was okay. The coffee was not.

Cons: See above

Pros: The canvas tent came with firewood, lantern, clock, and hot water bottles to keep our feet warm in bed. What a treat! Also, liked the pancake machine!!

Cons: Nothing at this time; we were pleased!

Pros: Lakedale was so much fun for our family. We stayed in a log cabin with two adults and three children--very comfortable, warm, well-appointed cabins. The kids loved riding the free shared bikes around the property. It was really neat to have three small lakes to play at, including (for an additional fee) fishing, paddleboards, water trikes, paddleboats, canoes.

Cons: It is quite expensive and difficult to get from Friday Harbor to Lakedale without a car. No matter how beautiful or fun, I would not recommend staying here for travelers who are relying on public transportation. The bus system is VERY under-developed on the island and the taxi system is very expensive. --Alternatively, Lakedale could develop a shuttle system for its guests to and from Friday Harbor, if not additional places on the island. I think some or all of the water sport items (like paddleboards, canoes, and rowboats) could have been loaned for free like the bikes (or perhaps just a deposit in case of damage). It felt like being nickel-and-dimed for activities for my kids when the log cabin itself cost several hundreds of dollars a night.

Pros: Beautiful space for either a family or private couples getaway. Wonderful area for relaxing.

Cons: Wished we could have stayed longer.

Pros: The fire was extra fiery

Cons: Wasp traps

Pros: We stayed in the Yurts and they were clean and comfortable and a great location just a short ride into Friday Harbors stores and restaurants. Yurt was like home away from home, so private.

Cons: Really nothing

Pros: Loved Mary Ann's breakfast and helpful advice of what to see on the island.

Cons: Bed was hard, pillows flat and hard.

Pros: Location is stunning, and so much fun for kids. Our canvas cottage was on Neva Lake, which is where we swam, canoed and paddle boarded. We were in Neva #2, right by the little beach area and floating dock. The view from the cottage was so lovely, and we were impressed by the comfort of the furnishings and the bathroom. We have never glamped before, but as we were traveling from out of state, we couldn't do the full-on camping, and not having to trudge out to the bathhouse was a welcome luxury. The price was comparable to other lodging options on the island, and the setting was perfect for our family, since our daughter could roam free and there was always something to do.

Cons: With a little effort, the included breakfast could be a lot better -- some quality coffee, fresh-baked goods would better fit my idea of "glamping." The boat rentals were a great option and reasonably priced, but for the price we paid for our cottage, I don't think they should charge separately for those -- they should be included. Also, although free bikes are available, there were none available of our daughter's size (tall 7 year old) during our 3 days there. Our experience with the staff was inconsistent -- some were quite friendly and helpful, others were indifferent and not so helpful. Lastly, be aware that in late summer there are a LOT of yellow jackets in the area -- we had the bad luck of disturbing a nest on one of our canoeing adventures, and came away with a few nasty stings.

Pros: The canvas tent was amazing. The views were gorgeous. Plenty of family activities for young and old. Plan to let others know of this place. Enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere.

Cons: Too many weeds in the lakes.

Pros: Loved the glamping tents and the very friendly staff.

Cons: The place could use some basic infrastructure development - updates. Chemical toilets were relatively close by but the toilet / shower block was some distance away in the middle of the night.

Pros: Staff was very friendly and welcoming to us and our dog. Room was cozy and clean with it's own private entrance a and Jacuzzi. Breakfast was also on time every morning and delicious.

Cons: There was a dog there that would bark when we came back for the day. Not a vicious bark, but still made me feel like we were waking everyone up and our presence was announced.

Pros: Rooms are very comfy, the hot tub was a nice perk, the breakfasts were amazing!

Cons: Dogs barking early morning and late at night was the only negative.

Pros: Owner friendly and accommodating to early check in

Cons: Just wasn't our style

Pros: Excellent breakfast and very clean and comfortable rooms!

Pros: Breakfast was delicious. Hot tub nice add

Cons: Too many knickknacks in the room. Would have felt more spacious without so many pillows, throws

Pros: The breakfast was great. They took my girlfriend's food intolerances into account. They didn't have cell signal, but the wifi signal was great. Our room had access to a hot tub. The innkeeper was very nice and was out of the way, to make you feel like it was your space for your stay. Equally between the harbors on either side of the island.

Cons: The trail to the parking area was tough to navigate around and between with a larger vehicle. I ended up backing into the exit to avoid making the loop. No complaints otherwise.

Pros: The views and nature trails

Cons: The shower head and lack of private entrance

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic

Cons: There nothing I didn't like

Pros: room with the hot tub

Cons: n/a

Pros: The view off the deck and bedroom was very nice!Into

Cons: To many things around that you could accidentally break.

Pros: Quite location, nice room, very clean. HVAC controls for room and bath, Plenty of blankets. Private bath, hot water was quick to arrive and plentiful.

Cons: Too many nick nacks - decorative items - it was overwhelming. Couldn't hardly move for fear of breaking something. Space that could be used was consumed by decorative items.

Pros: Wonderful weekend getaway from the city. Patrick and his wife made me feel like I was at home. I am planning on sending my parents up to stay there soon. Highly recommend for a relaxing weekend in the woods

Cons: Room was small but cozy.

Pros: The pool, spa, gift shop, and ladies at the front desk and the house-keepers!

Cons: No A. C. , but the fan did a good job

Pros: The staff was exceptional

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Pool was good for kids

Cons: It seems like a Motel 6 with a cheap remodel & paint job (polished turd). The only reason they get away with the price is because it’s on San Juan Island.

Pros: I loved the room, it was very spacious and comfortable. I'd also like to mention that I forgot my necklace there and they called me right away to tell me and proceeded to offer to mail it to me. We will for sure be back!

Pros: My kids loved the pool! Comfortable and quiet place that is also walking distance to everything. Friendly staff.

Pros: Very helpful and welcoming staff. Swimming pool.

Cons: No air con. Just 2 big fans. Expensive.

Pros: This place was perfect for us. It was very comfortable and relaxing. It was close. It had convenient parking for us to unload and load our things. It was VERY quiet and had I nice private feel. The robes were a great touch! We loved it!

Cons: The only minus was that it didn’t have a closet or drawers, nothing for storage. But, it’s definitely no big deal. We loved it! =}

Pros: Nice people and location.

Cons: Beds are not top quality. Outside pool area was oddly closed off from the pool for some reason. Probably a security or liability issue but there was no signage so countless guests kept asking how to get into the pool.

Pros: Good location, good size room and very nice to have a pool and sauna. Affordable price, easy access to room from parking out front.

Cons: No one informed us about the lack of air conditioning, which took a minute to figure out, but ultimately it was fine and we were probably better off not using any. Lobby hours didnt correspond to ferry time but again, not a big deal.

Pros: The location was great. Walking distance to everything in Friday Harbor. We walked everywhere .

Cons: It was a very positive experience.

Pros: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect - walking distance to everything in town. Clean and modern furnishings.Sauna and jacuzzi/pool and coffee bar are nice additions.

Cons: No air conditioning and room was always very warm. They did provide fan so that was always going. The freezer was set too high and it froze all my fruit that we had bought for our trip home. No breakfast provided.

Pros: The hotel is within walking distance to all activities on the water. There was a spa available if I wanted to take advantage of services. The staff were very inviting. The king sized bed was very comfortable, and there was no shortage of pillows.

Cons: The room was pretty warm, no AC. They did provide fans in the room though, so it was tolerable. I don't like carpeting in hotel rooms for hygienic reasons. The carpet appeared very clean, but I personally think it's gross. The shower was very clean, but it was outdated and squeaked with every movement. I felt bad for the people downstairs since I'm a night shift worker and tend to stay up way later than what is considered normal.

Pros: It was OK

Cons: The scones could have been larger.

Pros: Breakfast good for continental style. Good sheets & pillow. Bed comfortable.

Cons: Did not like attic room up 3 flights of stairs without elevator. Location next to delivery bay of market is noisy, especially beginning at 6 am. Room rate too high for small attic room. No arm chair , have to sit on bed.

Pros: Very clean and crisp. Loved the light in my room—which also had a view of the harbor. Excellent bed and linens. Friendly staff.

Cons: My room had a shared bathroom —on a different floor. It cost about $40 less but was fairly inconvenient.

Pros: Staff was courteous and helpful. Loved the deck off the upper Room. Overall great accomodations

Cons: Kind of noisy out back window of our room. Seems kind of over priced

Pros: Perfect location and such a cute place. We were on the ground floor with a hot tub so that was a bonus! Bed & pillows super comfy and breakfast was great-good yogurt lots of fresh fruit & extras.

Pros: Location is great. It is clean and breakfast is provided.

Cons: AC is noisy

Cons: It gets a little noisy early in the morning

Pros: Super friendly staff. Room had a beautiful view of the water. Community balcony seating. Location is extremely convenient.

Cons: The rooms don't have their own bathrooms. Not a big issue for us, but maybe for others. We really enjoyed our stay. Nothing comes to mind.

Pros: The breakfast was exceptional as well as the staff. I will definitely recommend it and stay here again.

Pros: Location is great Price is great People are very nice

Cons: Definitely not a 3 star. 2 Star at most. Small rooms, very thin walls, small bathroom. Noisy interior hallways.

Pros: Very stylish furnishings & comfortable bed. Also, a nice continental breakfast provided & helpful staff. Location was good for walking to restaurants & close to Friday Harbor.

Cons: The shower was in a large jetted tub, which required stepping up on tiled stairs & then a big step down to the floor of shower! A bit difficult for someone with short legs & crickety knees, even with a grab bar. Also, no off-street parking.

Pros: Great location and staff was always friendly and helpful. Liked having the deck to go outside on to enjoy the beautiful weather. Breakfast scones were delicious. Will be sure to come back.

Cons: Our room was by the street so can be noisy with the big trucks going by. They provide earplugs so once those were in all was great.

Pros: Breakfast food was good. Microwave made sure the food was hot.

Cons: Phone number to restaurant was wrong or phone turned off. Called four times. When I went down to ask about it,the lady said it had not rang. She never looked to see if the volume was on.

Pros: Great location, walking distance to downtown shops & restaurants. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast, enough choice to eat something you like. Restaurant on site, but we did not eat here to rate.

Cons: Property dated, rooms could use general update. That being said, rooms were cozy, clean, and with kitchen facilities, so happy overall with stay.

Pros: We loved the suite for our family, was spacious and very clean!

Cons: No air conditioning, outdated

Pros: Crazy hallway

Cons: Breakfast was awful

Pros: Free shuttle running most of the day!

Cons: Some bugs in the hallways and room, but it wasn't really a surprise to me considering the location.

Pros: Plenty of space in our suite.

Cons: Bed too soft. Vanity TOO SMALL for toiletries. Noisy doors. Not fan of Mexican food. Would rather have seafood with typical popular menu items.

Pros: Great location. Front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Cons: Decor is a little dated, but overall, no complaints. We left a $10 tip for housekeeping when we left our room at 8am in 7/27/19. When we returned at 3pm, the room was not cleaned yet, but curiously, our towels and the tip was gone. By this time we didn’t want to leave our room again, so we just went and got ourselves some fresh towels.

Pros: Breakfast was good. Location was an easy walk to town.

Cons: We had 4 people and were only given three towels and three coffees. The hot tub was dirty and there were no towels there either.

Pros: Roomy space and clean room

Cons: A little far from center of down town, but shuttle service was exellent

Pros: Shuttle and early check and rollaway bed and balcony and hot tub

Cons: No bikes no fat free yogurt and room carpet update is desired

Pros: The breakfast was delicious. The staff was very friendly. Our room was clean and neat with comfortable pillows and crisp bedlinen. The location put us right at the start of the fourth of July parade and across the street from the annual picnic. It seemed a little expensive but since it is a sparsely populated island on a national holiday, maybe , I should have researched it more.

Cons: Would have been nice to know more about travel to the hotel beforehand. Add link to ferry schedule. A little noisy if you leave the window open for air circulation due to the proximity of the airport.

Pros: Walking distance to town. Room had kitchen, balcony and the spaces were large.

Cons: No a/c but the nights were cool during our stay.

Pros: I loved being on the water surrounded by boats and float planes. Serene!

Cons: The low ceiling until I got with it :-)

Pros: Loved being on the water and waking up surrounded by boats, ferries, and a beautiful view of Friday Harbor. Bed was very comfortable.

Cons: N/a

Pros: The breakfast was awesome and was made right on the boat! As a marine biologist, it was awesome to use a flashlight to view all the animals that live under the dock right outside our room. Our host was lovely and so are all the ingenious features of the boat.

Pros: Wonderful location on the wharf at Friday Harbor

Pros: The location is second to none. The breakfast was delicious. Did I mention the location? It’s a boat in Friday Harbor, incredible.

Pros: Two morning breakfasts were excellant

Cons: The boat needed repairs and fresh pillows on the deck

Pros: Excellent food and gorgeous view and setting.

Cons: I didn't realize that we wouldn't have a shower in the room. And parking was dicey, but, the hostess was amazingly helpful-saved us a spot and hailed us down in the street.

Pros: Excellent location, only minutes away from the ferry dock or even seconds away from the plane docks. The breakfasts were wonderful, very filling. The forward accomodations were very roomy with the "extra" statesroom. It was nice to sit out on the deck at night, the benches are a nice touch. It was also neat to know the history of the boat...

Cons: What you would expect on a boat, the bathrooms are very tiny. No major complaints...

Pros: Breakfast on the deck was nice. Sitting on the deck watching other boats and planes was very relaxing.

Cons: Plumbing was a slight issue, but it is a boat.

Pros: It was the cleanest hotel room I've ever been in. easy walk to downtown.

Cons: As long as you go there knowing they are the smallest hotel rooms you will ever stay in, its OK. there is no head board on the bed. your pillows keep sliding of.

Pros: A unique concept for a hotel / inn! the rooms as the manager say are small but who cares! the room was comfortable and clean. One does not come to San Juan to sleep! so much to see and do!

Pros: Quiet

Cons: Tiny, poor layout of furniture, electric outlets for charging, no convenient bedstead with light.

Pros: Easy access. Ground floor. Clean comfortable bed Super nice owners.

Cons: A bit small rooms but historic property made it understandable.

Pros: Great little place! Small rooms but clean and a great location!

Pros: Good beds and friendly staff.

Cons: Could have a small table by the head of the bed.

Pros: Location was good.

Cons: Tiny room, musty smelling bathroom.

Pros: Location and price. Clean.

Cons: You get what you pay for. Very small room. No bed head board or against wall, therefore, there is no back support to sit up to watch TV or read. The microwave oven plug in my room does not fit the nearest plug that is used by the AC. Had to move the microwave to another location in order to plug it in to a wall plug. No coffee maker nor hair drier.

Pros: The location was fine - not close to the harbor but was walkable distance.

Cons: The décor was a little outdated and the bathroom was super small.

Pros: The price per night.

Cons: The room was so tiny we could barely fit our suitcase into it, and then moving within the room was awkward. The curtains on the window were not dark enough, so I had to wear an eye mask to sleep. Walls were paper thin.

Pros: Very courteous and helpful staff.

Cons: Room was very small so much so that the bed didn’t have a headboard and wasn’t up against a wall so it made the room even smaller.

Pros: Very reasonable price. Conveniently located next to nice supermarket. Short term stay is good.
