Wish they had black out curtains on the door. All the outside noise can be heard inside (ie the drunk boomers walking back from dinner at 11pm and the leaf blower at 7am) Other than those 2 things the room was great. Nice and clean, modern. Bed and pillows were comfy. Pack and play for toddler was way too hard so we had to stuff it with towels to make a softer surface for her to sleep. Cute fireplace. Nice balcony. I'd come back but bring an eye mask. Location can't be beat! Nice staff

We were so glad we were able to get a reservation. This place is always booked up, and now I know…read morewhy. It was such a beautiful tranquil place. Everything is quiet, and peaceful. Plenty of outdoor activities, boats, bikes, hikes, and plenty to do near by on the island. -Rooms were beautiful, bed was tall, bed was big, but bed made noise (iykyk) - Bathroom was clean, spacious, and was well lit. -Closet and amenities were on point. Robes, cups, steamer, lantern, and coffee. But no tv or mini fridge. They had plenty of golf carts to get you around the town.

We can't say enough about how great this place was to stay. We had the Arbor room, which was a bit…read moremore private than the others, but they all seemed excellent. We loved the hot tub, the breakfasts, the dogs, and the welcoming people. We were celebrating our 10-year anniversary and it was perfect. The view was exceptional and if we had not booked a kayak camping trip we'd have stayed longer. We had to leave early our last day and they gave us breakfast to go! Highly recommend!

This inn was very nice! The couple was attentive and…read morethoughtful - The internet password was given to us but also listed in the room (and it worked well!), the lavender bath products from the lavender farm were wonderful, there were towels for after the jacuzzi, there were much appreciated luggage racks, there was a mini fridge which was nice, - i wish the bed had been more firm but that is only a preference ! The hosts were very nice!

Oh, man. This is a tough review to write. First off, there are so many things I really like about…read morethis hotel. The location is great - close to everything in Friday Harbor but not on a street with as much traffic as some others. The customer service is great - just send them a text and you get a response in seconds. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our room interior was good - everything looked clean with plenty of toiletries, cozy robes, and a heated bathroom floor. The bathroom in general was dated. We had a non operational jetted tub that had been converted into a duel faucet rain shower. It was rather weird, but it worked. I also really liked the keyless entry, so no worries about losing your key! Now, my one negative. Our room, and I'm assuming all rooms on this side of the building, abut a loading dock and parking lot for an adjacent grocery store. Every morning at 5am, a semi truck, fork lift, and workers unload the truck. In addition to back up safety alarms, truck engines idling, and workers talking, you also hear the constant rumbling of goods being unloaded. This goes on for HOURS.....starting at 5am. The hotel gives you ear plugs and notes that there is no noise ordinance on the island and notes that neighbors can be noisy and the hotel can't do anything about that. I get it...you can't control noisy patrons or neighbors, but the description given doesn't really convey what is actually going on with this side of the building. Constant, very loud noise and alarms for over two hours starting at 5am. All that said, I would stay here again, but I would make sure any room I book has views of the harbor, and not the back side of the hotel.

This is a great place to stay. We have been doing VRBOs in Friday Harbor and honestly, in our price…read morerange, we got WAY more for our money at Bird Rock. It has steps, indoors and out (I found the outdoor steps easier on my bad hip) and it's just a lovely place - nicely decorated and SO clean. Our room was Fidalgo, we had a big soaker tub and kitchen area, I loved having two places to watch tv since sometimes one of you can sleep and the other is enjoying vacation insomnia time. ;) Out back, a walk through a parking lot takes you to King's Market which had everything. We did not find the hotel loud, but they offer earplugs just in case. The mattress was great, seriously- firn enough but with a soft topper or something, we both slept so well.

Beautiful spot on Orcas Island -- peaceful, unique, and worth the visit…read more Leona at the front desk was absolutely wonderful, truly a blessing and such a welcoming presence from the moment we arrived. The hot springs are my favorite part and the main reason I came back. My friends and I booked a private soak ($150 for 1.5 hours), which was well worth it. If you stay overnight, you can also do a group soak for $20. The hot springs are clothing optional, and during the group soak most people were nude. It was a bit crowded, but still fun and a memorable experience -- especially if you're open to something new. The room itself was a little cold, but thankfully it had a wood-fired stove (and one of us actually knew how to use it). Beds were comfy, and the bathrooms are a short walk away since they aren't in the rooms. Overall, such a special place -- I'd definitely come back again.

Loved the hot tubs and sauna, and the communal fire pits and outdoor lounge areas. The cafe offerings were delicious, love that it's walkable from your lodging. They had a wild mushroom walk while I was there, as well as a small but well stocked store. Can't wait to visit again in other seasons!

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.

Stool to sit on while putting on shoes. Extra ottomans that luggage can be placed on. Minuses: Would have preferred medium roast coffee (not just french roast), more outlets for chargers, a hand wand for the shower, and an elevator. (Mobility challenged should get a ground floor room.)

Quite possibly one of the cutest places I have stayed! The Ferry Landing Suites looks directly over…read morethe ferry terminal and as you sit on the deck, or hang out on the couch you can watch the ferry's come in and out of the dock. We stayed in the Yakima suite which is on the very top of this classically fun looking building. The suite was equipped with a kitchenette, wrap around deck with sun chairs, fireplace, and entertainment system. And if that wasn't enough, the bed was tucked away in a cove that has a skylight for looking at the stars. One of the best things about this suite is that directly below the room is a bakery and cafe that serves fresh pastries and coffee from early in the morning till the evening. All the perks of a bed and breakfast without having to check in and out with anyone. I would definitely recommend this place for a weekend getaway with your loved one, or rent out the site below as well for a big group of friends to enjoy all that Friday Harbor has to offer.

Coffee, hot chocolate, and tea were a bit stale and old. No AC these days in the summer is unbearable. At least install mini-splits in the rooms. Insect control was not good either. For the price I'd rather stay at a more modern/luxury-oriented place

We were met at the main house at the entrance by the staff who told us we need to see Sarah to show…read moreus our accommodations of the house next to us. She was very gracious and showed us around plus, she showed us little special items that she had for us on arrival which included cookies for my wife and I a nondairy cupcake for my daughter and two pet friendly cupcakes for our puppy. How cool is that? They put a lot of thought into the design of this place and it is truly a wonderful bed-and-breakfast situation. All the little details have been thawed out from the entryway right to the bathroom. We are in Friday Harbor Friday. Harbor has a reputation and it is not inexpensive to be in this area so don't be surprised by price stickers if you shop around. You get what you pay for here they give you a lot of class along with a good product. I would like to stay longer if I could, but our time is limited and we have to go home and the weather has been perfect.

My friends and I were visiting Friday Harbor recently, and they booked a suite for us at the Tucker…read moreHouse Inn & Harrison House Suites, part of the San Juan Island Inn Collection. We were given the San Juan Suite. What WONDERFUL accommodations! The suite has two full bedrooms and a small room with a double bed on the renovated side porch (I chose that room, because of all the windows), two bathrooms, a full kitchen, living room, dining room, and deck with a private jacuzzi! WOW!! I felt so pampered! Every morning, Gene brought breakfast to us in bento boxes, and everything was so yummy! My favorite was the poached egg and Canadian bacon with tomato and baby asparagus on thick toast, accompanied by granola and peaches with yogurt. We had ordered milk and orange juice for breakfast, and when we arrived found that the refrigerator was stocked with a fresh quart of each for us. There was also ground coffee for the coffeemaker and a fine selection of teas. We dined well! The furnishings in the suite are elegant and retro without being dated, while the kitchen and bathrooms are completely modern. Even with four people, we felt that there was ample space for us all. Our beds were all quite comfortable, and the temperature controls could be adjusted room by room so that each of us were guaranteed a pleasant sleep. The grounds around our lodging were gorgeously landscaped and beautifully maintained. It was wonderful to wake up in the midst of loveliness every morning! The Inn & Suites are just a few blocks from downtown Friday Harbor and the ferry landing, so we were able to easily walk to all the local attractions, shopping, and restaurants. That was a hidden benefit because parking downtown was often scarce. To say our stay in the San Juan Suite was idyllic would be an understatement. It made a wonderful vacation even more wonderful by giving us a place to return to and relax in comfort and elegance. I am DEFINITELY returning to the Tucker House Inn & Harrison House Suites! Thank you for a truly fabulous time!
