Home was very cozy, it was obvious that it is maintained with love. In the morning we had nice time at deck on swing. We had breakfast (tea, coffee, oatmeals, fruits, boiled eggs, cookies, waffles). Along with great food, we had nice conversation with owner. He gave us valuable advices regarding islands, what to visit and generally about the life on the island. Definitely would stay here again!

First, the Inn is old and run down and management don't even try to pretend to professional. The…read moreair conditioning in my room rattled so hard you couldn't even hear conversation. Second, an Inn employee hit my brand new car (Mercedes Benz with 100 miles on it) while I was getting a treatment. As I was leaving, the Innkeeper or Manager laughingly told me my car was hit. I thought it was a joke because he kept laughing and telling jokes. He had not called to report the accident and didn't notify me until I was walking out the door to catch a ferry to go back home (live on island). I finally told the manager (or whoever he was) that thanks, but I wasn't in the mood for humor given the circumstances. I had to call the Police to make a report. The report clearly showed the employee was at fault. Given that we live on an Island, this is going to cost us thousands - not even to mention the huge depreciation on a brand new car. After some consideration, it seemed reasonable that perhaps the Inn would credit my stay given the circumstances. My wife called the Inn and spoke with the manager and owner. At first, they immediately hung up on her saying "we don't have time for this" - she was being very polite. Flabbergasted, she called back, and they said we don't care about your situation or that our employee hit your car. Call the insurance company. They were exceptionally rude about it as well. Finally, there are other accommodation options in La Conner. I highly recommend them over Blue Heron. People like this don't deserve our business.

I know they say they're 'no-frills' and ...they are all that. But that doesn't mean this multi-building single-story complex can't do better. Pros: -An awesome desk person, check in was delightful, helpful and very informative -Water/ice/ coffee station. Very cool. -Decent air conditioning -Close to CoOp market and San Juan Bakery -Lots of parking. -Fridge and microwave included. Cons; -Paltry room size. You can barely walk around the bed, and the shower is no bigger than a coffin. As a bonus, ours came with a bee carcass in it. -Bathroom door barely had room to close. Sounds were emanating from toilet randomly at night. -Lighting is horrid -Bedding is from last century -Paper-thin walls - you can hear every footstep outside your door. -Outrageous pricing for what was a closet. I know it's summer. Still. I wonder: Was this an old army barracks not-so successfully repurposed to serve civilians? Seems likely. Oh well. I realize it's probably the cheapest accommodation on San Juan Island in high season, but, nope, never again. A good night's sleep: is It too much to ask for?

And the suite is on the 3rd floor in the front corner so the roof cuts into the room making more than half the room unusable. The breakfast only offered tea/coffee no juice. The meal was quite a small portion size. And they don't seem to be able to manage 10 guests eating at once very well as they only offer eggs either over easy or scrambled eggs. The pancakes were 2 mini ones and the next day they served 1 1/2 slices of French toast on those Thomas cinnamon swirl bread so not much food. The mattress was super hard, made our arms fall asleep for side sleepers.

The antiques completed the illusion that we were lodging there in the 1880s. The sitting room was a great place to have a fabulous breakfast in the mornings, and the hosts were eager to tend to our every needs. Michele and Doug have been the hosts for the past three summers, they said. They come up from Austin, Texas. They're great cooks and are eager to give you what you need, whether that be conversation or peace and quiet. We had a special request: We wanted to rent kayaks, but it looked like one of the merchants was a Trumper. She found us one who wasn't. Can I ask more than that?

The location is excellent for walking around town, though the view from our large room was far less…read morethan spectacular...just the street, the rear of buildings, and an asphalt parking lot. Desk staff was friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was adequate, though the only hot food was oatmeal. Cookies out all day in the office was a nice touch. TV with local channels was wonderful. Bed was very comfortable. But... Little refrigerator was very noisy and woke us up more than once when trying to sleep. There was a step up to the bathroom which sometimes became annoying...especially for us "old people" in our 70's. We don't need accommodation, but a level floor throughout would be nice. There were times when the guests above us sounded like they were going to fall through the ceiling (one of the downsides to staying on the first floor, I guess). Bathroom had a step-in tub and shower, while a level shower only would be preferred. And most important to mention, $300+ dollars a night was unbelievably expensive for this quaint, but rather dated inn; that's the most we've ever paid for lodging...even in some big cities! And I saw lower prices for rooms in the same inn after we returned home. We enjoyed our visit to LaConner, but sadly, we'll never return.

We called to say we will check in late but if there was a no-show policy, they didn't voluntarily mention it.

The furnishing was not brand new for sure but the room was certainly clean, comfortable and adequate.

We stayed here on Thursday evening and I will have to say the manager was one of the rudest people…read moreI've ever dealt with at a hotel. We arrived in our big shred truck and the first thing I was asked by the front desk lady was if I had just arrived in the big truck and it was not saying in the parking lot over night right?!! Uhh ya, usually when you drive a vehicle to a hotel you park it in the parking lot. I was then told that usually when people drive larger vehicles they notify them ahead of time and so on. So she goes and gets the manager that proceeds to tell me multiple time people always call ahead (ok no need to keep telling me something that SHOULD have been done a long time ago) how all the rooms and parking spaces are all taken for the night and on and on. My husband then comes around and says that he will move it no problem. She proceeds to talk over him and keeps saying the same thing. At this point I am ready to just go to a different hotel because of how extremely rude they are. Now I have no problem owning up to I should have called ahead however I don't drive an oversize vehicle for my every day car so I didn't realize or even think of this issue. It was a Thursday night in May!! I get if you are just concerned about having enough space for all your guests but there is a way to approach and talk to people. My everyday job is scheduling and sales so I talk to people non stop and being rude is NEVER a way to talk to someone! That being said we left at 6:15am on Friday morning and our truck was taking up 1 and a quarter of another parking spot and in their two small parking lots there was at least 7 or 8 empty spots available!!! The room was nice and clean and the young man that assisted my husband with parking was very nice however my experience with the rude front dest lady and EXTREMELY rude manager will not have me going back! I'll take my business elsewhere!

We cannot recommend the Discovery Inn in Friday Harbor of San Juan Island strongly enough. What a…read morebeautiful retreat they've created just blocks away from the downtown. We never used the jacuzzi but playing table tennis and cornhole and even badminton (although we had to use the volleyball court for badminton). The rooms were tastefully decorated and well stocked with vital supplies. The best part of staying at Discovery Inn, however, has to be the people working there. We were so impressed with Mel just talking with her and making our reservation. And what a delight to discover that she was even more gracious and kind and knowledgeable about the island and where to go in person. And everyone we met at the Inn was just as nice and accommodating. We can't imagine finding a better spot to stay when vacationing on San Juan Island.
