I booked a Deluxe King Fireplace Corner Unit at Anacortes Ship Harbor Inn on April 15, 2026 for the…read morenight of August 26, specifically because of its convenient location near the ferry terminal. My reservation, number 100480, was confirmed for two adults at $249 plus tax. The reservation confirmation specifically instructed guests arriving after 10:00 p.m. to call the inn on the day of arrival. I did exactly that while at SeaTac preparing to drive to Anacortes. At approximately 7:44 p.m., I was told that late arrival instructions would not be sent until 9:00 p.m. because the property was busy and full. I simply asked if the instructions could be provided earlier because I was already traveling toward the hotel and wanted to make sure I could access the room I had reserved more than four months earlier. Instead of providing the check in instructions, the situation escalated and the inn canceled my confirmed reservation at approximately 7:59 p.m. on the night of arrival. I received cancellation confirmation 136279 documenting the cancellation. That left my wife and me without our reserved lodging while already traveling. I had to scramble to find another hotel and ultimately booked the Fairfield by Marriott in Burlington for $217.70. The replacement hotel also put us approximately 35 minutes farther away from the Anacortes ferry terminal, creating an unnecessary inconvenience for our ferry travel the following morning. What makes this especially disappointing is that I did not miss a deadline, fail to appear, or ignore the hotel's instructions. I contacted the inn precisely because its own confirmation told late arriving guests to do so. A guest with a confirmed reservation should be able to ask how to access the property after hours without having the reservation canceled that evening. I have traveled extensively and understand that hotels occasionally encounter operational problems. What matters is how those problems are handled. Canceling a confirmed reservation on the night of arrival after the guest follows the property's own late arrival instructions is not an acceptable way to handle the situation. I would not recommend relying on a reservation here when ferry travel or other time sensitive plans depend on having your room available.

Such a cute location and great view but that's really all the good offered. Room was dirty , there…read morewas so much hair on the bathroom floor's, toilet , counter, even in the bed. And not just head hair- It was absolutely disgusting! I would be terrified to cook something on the little stove they had in the suite , there was so much caked on black food ash - seems like it would be a fire hazard. Room also smelled like it was a chain smokers previous residence. We honestly dreaded sleeping there. We told the front desk and were offered a possible discount but at a later date- whatever that means? doesn't seem like follow through on that will happen. Would've been better customer service if offered on the spot. Sad cause this property has a lot of potential. Would suggest to management that they get better cleaning help.

We called to say we will check in late but if there was a no-show policy, they didn't voluntarily mention it. They saw our energetic 3 year old and automatically gave us a room closer to the lobby so we wouldn't have to walk back and forth as much. 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 had room #111, which is the closest room on the second floor to the main (lobby) building. I thought road noise might be a problem, but it wasn't really noticeable. In fact, there were only two things I didn't like about the room. There are no microwaves in the rooms. But there is a small one in the hallway on each building's floor, shared by all. Not as convenient (we use it a lot for tea, coffee, etc.), but good enough. More annoying was the amount of light coming in from the windows. There are bright security lights on all night (that's good), but the curtains were not designed to cope with that light. Therefore, the room remains pretty bright all night. That I really didn't like. You can look at my photos for an idea of what the breakfast buffet included (e.g., 2 kinds of bread, 2 fruits, 4 dry cereals, coffee, etc.) Nothing remarkable, but I have definitely experienced worse. Overall, it was a comfortable, clean, and relatively quiet room, at an exceptionally good price. Service was always very friendly and helpful. And the location is centrally located, near the I-5 freeway, near downtown, and pretty close to Boulevard Park, Zuanich Point Park, and Whatcom Falls Park. If I return to Bellingham, this would definitely be my first choice of lodging.

I felt like breakfast was above average for a hotel continental breakfast- they had nice fresh berries and fruit. Would return for our next visit to La Conner.

The hotel is definitely old. They use big brass keys instead of key cards, but some of the old features add to the charm. We had a corner room with a great balcony and a view. The room was spacious and lovely! Comfy bed, amazing view. Free breakfast was pretty standard- we did love that they had gluten free bread and fresh berries and they were could enjoy them from our room. The staff was friendly and helpful! They offer wine service at the counter, but not from 6-9pm. We thought this was kind of funny, but maybe they're encouraging you to go to the wine shop down the street during that time. The hotel has a lovely outdoor area right on the water that we enjoyed. This was a great place to stay, but very pricey. Two nights cost almost $700 but had the same comfort and amenities as a hotel that would cost about half that.

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.
