We love it here. The staff is fabulous...so friendly and accommodating. They truly strive to make you feel like family. The food is also fabulous. There are multiple "little touches" you don't find often that we appreciate every time...the gas fire pits outside steps away from the bar & restaurant where you can enjoy food/drink...the staff will even offer you blankets when it's cold out. Every floor has a convenience bar outside the elevator refreshed throughout the day with snacks & beverages. The rooms offer spacious bathrooms, large jetted tubs, a fridge and gas fireplace. The location is convenient as it's very close to the ferry (easy walk if you don't bring a car), restaurants and main drag. We are already talking about our next visit read more

Incredible view, stellar location just a couple blocks from the ferry. The rooms are large and have everything you need. The staff we encountered were phenomenal, such nice folks. There were a couple small problems but otherwise a fantastic stay. read more

Stayed one night after an amazing day on the water seeing orcas. Great location and good service. Perfect spot to walk around and enjoy the super charming town of Friday Harbor. Restaurant breakfast was nice and tasty with high but reasonable prices ($60 for two people). The room accommodations are absolutely fine but not worth the price. I paid $700 for one night in a "partial view" suite. My friend and I agreed it's Four Seasons pricing for Best Western quality. If you know that going in, you won't drop a little poo in your pants when walk into your room and find plain nice, not amazing nice. Their web site over-sells the quality. 3.6 stars because the location is awesome but overall value is only good, not great. (I did love the L'Occitane shampoo/conditioner and body lotion!) read more

This place exceeded our expectations. The room was great, the view amazing. Our room was overlooking the marina. Super comfortable bed and nice fireplace. Large bathroom. The staff here was great. Top of their game. Sadie is a top notch mixologist, Austin took great care of us. February visit for our anniversary, so it was chilly, so they brought us thick blankets so we could sit outside by the beautiful fire pits. Oh, and fantastic meals with a view!!!! So special! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE. read more

We absolutely loved our stay here to celebrate my birthday weekend. The customer service was amazing! They went above and beyond to help us out since I brought my birthday cake with us, and they kindly offered, without us asking, to store it in their large kitchen fridge since it wouldn't necessarily fit in our tiny room fridge. That left a lasting impression on us and made our whole trip. One of the concierge members then took it upon herself to bring us one of the chef's personal knives so we could cut my birthday cake later that evening. It was a lovely and thoughtful touch for the concierge to think outside the box and go out of their way to accommodate us. I appreciated the service here so much! The views from their outside patio garden are gorgeous and peaceful, you can watch the ferry boats and water planes coming in and out of the harbor while hearing the small birds hangout. The fire pits were poppin' in the evening, and everyone was having a good time just chatting away while all retreating around 10ish for quiet hours. Everyone here was very respectful and classy. The hotel provides snacks on the third floor for both evening and morning, and at least our room had a giant hot tub, which we thoroughly enjoyed--we loved that they provided us with robes as well. You can't go wrong with this hotel. We loved our stay and will be back for sure. We will also hopefully try their kitchen and bar next time. read more

We were a group of six and the servers were not ready to attend us because they were full. Eventough they had lots of tables ope. If they werent ready to attend, why were they open. I felt some discrimination as I saw some people laughing and drinking coffee. We ended going to another restaurant that had a great service. read more

Excellent hotel on the island. We liked the restaurant on the first floor. Their house made breakfast sausage is memorable. So is the staff. Some of the nicest people I've met. read more

My overall experience was amazing. The hotel was in a great location and the staff were incredible. I gave this place an overall 5 stars even though we had problems with our room. Despite the problems, it was the manager, Molly who handled it well that made a difference to the situation. We had problems with our toilet and brought it up to her attention and she immediately attempted to fix it. At dinner, she once again apologized for the inconvenience. The food at the restaurant (dinner) was very nice. Our server Austen was attentive and personable which made our dining experience memorable. Back to the toilet, middle of the night it was not fixed and on top of that, the sensor light also didn't turn off. So needless to say, we had terrible sleep. We brought it up to Molly again in the morning and she really tried to rectify the problem. I appreciate hotels that genuinely do their best to try to make things right which is why I will stay again and highly recommend this place. Our room was a one off experience and the way the hotel managed the situation was nice. I felt they really took care of us. read more

We had such an incredible experience here! My mom and I just stopped in for a drink at sunset, but the staff was amazing. They set us up outside with a fire pit and blankets to enjoy the view. Very attentive and kind people work here. Small appetizer, salad, and entree menu, but extensive drink list. I'd love to come back in the summer! read more

I can't speak highly enough. The restaurant, the lodging, the lawn.... Better than anticipated with unexpected little "details" throughout. Helpful staff, efficient service, well prepared dishes (again withy the unexpected: chorizo clam chowder!!), well appointed lodging, breathtaking views, and the most inviting atmosphere. 5 stars throughout. read more

Check your bill, we were overcharged on our bottle of Prosecco. Do not get the charcuterie board! 2 slices of salami, 4 small pieces of Gouda, bad nuts.... The service was great and the view was great read more

Terrible terrible terrible service. Called, made reservation. Attitude on arrival to location. Seated and given water. After 15 minutes of watching other peoples orders taken, finally went to manager who acted shocked that we were upset. He came to our table a few moments later and gave excuse that "we are out of ice tea" that is delay. Give me a break. Regardless of food the service SUCKS!!! read more

The Friday Harbor House is a small boutique hotel directly up hill in front of the harbor. It is steps from shops, restaurants & Kings Market. There is lots of free parking. There is a full service restaurant & bar in the lobby serving breakfast & dinner. We checked into room 36 with the best views of the harbor. Loved the wall of windows & the small patio. The ferry horns were fabulous! Our room had a king bed, fireplace, large screen television, fridge, safe & jacuzzi for 2. Our room was very clean & comfortable. We had towels and coffee items refreshed. Morgan and the staff were wonderful, personable and helpful throughout our stay Our room was facing east and it was very warm in the morning.. We had a small portable air conditioner that made a lot of noise and didn't do much cooling. We were woken up at 5:30 AM by the noisy sound of a garbage truck outside our window. read more

The remarkable San Juan Islands consists of several islands. On the Pacific Northwest landscape between Washington and Canada is the main island of San Juan, there resides Friday Harbor House. This place exceeded my expectations from its views, ambience, staff, and food; it was all divine! Their red and white house wines were excellent too. I am grateful to have enjoyed my stay and definitely going back! P.s. You need to ride a ferry to transport yourself and vehicle, make reservations in advance through the wsdot website. Expect the boat ride to be about 1-hour. A nice bonus on the ferry was getting to see an Orca swimming in the water. read more

Amazing stay! They were friendly, helpful, and overly accommodating in our needs and last minute changes. They made our stay special and didn't seem burdened by any request. Would stay here again and again. Rooms were nice and felt clean and comfortable. Reading some other reviews...I would tend to agree that the restaurant may not be the best option though. We only got breakfast room service once but the food was not very good. We didn't end up finishing any of it. The lox wasn't fresh and was browning already. The eggs benedict was overcooked and not runny. It just wasn't the best option. The charcuterie board/box wasn't as bad as someone else mentioned. It's nothing amazingly special but it met our needs and tasted good. It filled two adults. read more

What an amazing experience. The hotel location is perfect, beautiful views of the marina and harbor. We loved watching the ferries come and go all day. Plenty of great restaurants and shopping in walking distance. The staff are outstanding, so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant, which was great. We didn't try dinner there, but would like to next time. It felt like we had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. Anything we needed the staff didn't hesitate to help. Can't recommend this place enough, we will definitely be back! read more

Nice view. Make your own burger or charcuterie board. Nothing special in food but view of harbor is nice. Servers are really slow. read more

I was so looking forward to San Juan island and Friday Harbor specifically. When I found this hotel, I thought immediately "that is where i want to stay!". The reviews were great; the photos made the hotel look great, but upon arrival, I was so disappointed. The shower and tub were stained brown and there was a window a/c unit! For the price you pay, it is absolutely insane. We were upgraded to a full harbor view, which was GREAT, but the noise from the restaurant right below made it very difficult to get any sleep (until about 11pm). The restaurant was great! The staff was phenomenal (especially Michael, who was there when we checked in). This is a place I've wanted to visit for over 15 years and while the island itself is very tranquil and beautiful, I had much higher expectations for this hotel. read more

Beautiful views, close to walk everywhere, excellent restaurant next door, Vinny's. Staff at the hotel are helpful. The breakfasts are great! The dinner menu was 2 weeks out of date, so I didn't get to have WA famous King Salmon All in all, I can't wait to return! read more

30th anniversary trip to San Juan Island. Stayed here. Wife found this hotel. Very nice room. Has a shower, soaker jetted tub in the room, fire pits outside, beautiful views, and great hospitality. Complimentary snacks and flavored sparkling waters. Fire place in the room. This was sweet place to stay. Close to town, everything is in walking distance. Loved the location. And right across parking lot was one the best Italian restaurant we've eaten called Vinny's. Highly recommend this place. We loved it. read more

Amazing views, snacks, coffee, bath products- super high quality. Everything you could you want and more.

One of the best meals & services I had in a while. Max was OUTSTANDING as our server, down to earth, polite & just normal human with some jokes on the sides. Super easy to converse with. Food was amazing especially Boston Bibb Salad! OH MY GOSH. No words. just order it. Braised beef short rib melts in your mouth and it is served with mashed potatoes & carrots although they will substitute if needed and it was DELISH as well as Yellow Curry Clams. All - SO GOOD. View - amazing. Staff great from Max, Bryce & Jaymie. Such a great place. Food: 5 stars Price: 4 stars Service: 5 star Ambiance: 5 stars Overall: 5 stars read more

Booked a reservation a month in advance requesting a good waterview table. Called a day before the reservation to confirm and spoke to a lady who came off as rude mentioning all seats had 180 degree views. Upon arrival was seated in the absolute worst spot with the worst view on the deck - definitely didn't have 180 degree views (rear with heaters blocking view). It was very clear that no accommodations were made despite my many requests. For the price tag this type of service is not acceptable and thus my rating. Food was good, waitstaff was good. Just don't expect any special accommodations to be considered unless you're a regular read more

Beautiful hotel in prime location. We originally had some difficulties with the hotel due to a late cancellation, but management fixed the mistake and we really appreciated their assistance in scheduling us for October. The service is top notch, comfy beds, and great coffee in the rooms. Plus the outdoor space with fire pits and drinks is lovely, even on a cold fall evening. Beautiful views! The restaurant is equally delicious - definitely on the pricey side, but that's expected on the Island. Can't wait to visit again! read more

This is a review for the restaurant only. We came here for dinner on our honeymoon and they gave us free champagne. How nice. The dinner was superb. Tapas styled restaurant with a few entrees as well. We had the Brussels sprouts, the burrata which was unbelievable, the pork shoulder burrito, and the hanger steak. They were all equally amazing and perfectly cooked. The hanger steak was the so tender and flavorful. Highly recommend. The view was amazing. We sat outside on the harbor and they gave us blankets to keep us warm. read more

My wife and I came here after a long day touring the island. She had the poblano soup which she enjoyed very much and I had the island hamburger which was delicious. I also had a very well-made martini. Our waitress was very friendly and bent over backwards to help us. The view from the deck is beautiful and was a nice end to the day. read more

Service was the best part. Food was okay. Pasta was undercooked and dry. Carrots were undercooked. I expected more quality for the price.

We came for breakfast before our ferry. It's was delicious! A perfect ending to our perfect weekend. We got the breakfast burger. It was cooked to order and the egg on top was a perfect touch. The potatoes were amazing too. I saw other people's breakfasts like the eggs bennies and they look amazing too. Highly recommend this place! read more

My spouse and I stayed here last weekend and it was AMAZING! Molly was fantastic, had great recommendations and was as hospitable as possible!!! The french toast was one of my favorite things there.

Let me count the ways that we loved friday harbor house. Their staff is most helpful and courteous. They took care of our every need. Our room was elegant and most comfortable. Including down pillows, luxurious bathrobes, l'ocitane products and soft full towels. The view of the marina was fantastic. I was with a friend who has difficulties getting up and downstairs and the staff without us asking changed our room for easier accommodations. There is a small park called overlook right outside of the hotel where it's a great place to sit for a lunch or a glass of wine. It overlooks the harbor. The in room fireplace was an incredible bonus!!! I wouldn't stay anywhere Else in Friday Harbor. And they are walking distance from the ferry and wonderful shops and restaurants. read more

This is an absolutely picturesque hotel right in the heart of Friday Harbor. For our stay, we enjoyed the harbor view room which included a jet tub, balcony, and gas fireplace. Overall, the room was comfortable, and fairly clean with the only downside being that the tub was a little dirty. The COVID restrictions limited service a little in the hotel. Dinner was not being served, and the bar service was limited to ordering at the bar with no table service, but the staff was still extremely friendly and efficient. They made sure to accommodate where they could by turning the fire pits on outside at a moments notice. The staff was also extremely knowledgeable about local spots and what was open and what wasn't, making navigating the local restaurants much easier. We felt very safe, with everyone masked up, plastic dividers up at the front desk, and hand sanitizer places throughout the hotel lobby. One important note is the parking is a little difficult to get in and out of, so be prepared if you have a larger vehicle. read more

Friday Harbor House - Loved the wine selection and cozy fireplace in the room. - Hotels Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

My husband and I had a lovely stay here for a weekend trip to Friday Harbor. The location is very convenient. We were able to walk here from the ferry landing area in about five minutes. It is also within walking distance of the restaurants, shopping, and several of the outdoor activity meeting areas. The room was clean and had everything that we needed. It also included a nice tub for relaxation. The only complaint about the room (and more my husband's complaint) was that the TV was small. It was more similar in size to a computer screen than a TV screen. This probably isn't a problem for most since the island is all about the outdoor activities. The breakfast buffet was majorly downplayed at check-in. I loved the breakfast that was included with the stay. There were a couple of hot options and delicious granolas that seemed to be homemade. I looked forward to the breakfast after coming here the first morning. The property included a grassy area with plenty of chairs for relaxing and waterfront views. read more

We usually boat over to Friday Harbor and stay aboard, but decided to take the ferry this trip and stay in town. Friday Harbor house did not disappoint!! The attention to detail and high level of customer service was amazing! The staff was super friendly and accommodated any need. We enjoyed coffee by the fire pit each morning (in room has fresh ground coffee from SJ roasters for the chemex or espresso service from restaurant), room service (which was delicious w/ large portions) and the relaxation of that gorgeous view from the grounds. The room it's self was big, with a comfortable king bed (amazing pillows!), sofa, table, chair by fireplace, desk, and mini fridge/coffee area. There is no way to truly 'close off' the bathroom vanity area as the 2 person jetted tub is what separates it (the toilet/shower room has a door though). We choose to explore the island (as we don't usually have a car) and were greeted on our way out/in each time. We were even able to text the front desk on our way back from dinner at Roach Harbor with our drink order, which they timed perfectly, and had waiting by the fire pit upon our return! Thank you Friday Harbor House for helping to make this much needed getaway amazing!! read more
