About the Hotel
If you want to feel as if you have really abandoned civilization â€" without leaving behind your favorite contemporary luxuries â€" consider checking into Friday Harbor House on the San Juan Islands in Washington State. Life moves at a slower, more leisurely pace here and time seems to lose all significance. The 23-room inn exudes personality and warmth against the gray Pacific Northwest skies, and expansive windows frame striking panoramic views of the marina and ferry landing. Uncluttered guestrooms possess a Zen-like feel and lavish whirlpool tubs and lovely fireplaces create a homey feel. Each stay includes a delicious breakfast of fresh-baked goods and handmade granola, as well as boldly-flavored coffee, providing you with the perfect start to an ideal day.

Reviews for Friday Harbor House
Disappointing stay at the Friday Harbor House
Too expensive for what you get. Not worth it. Star rating is not accurate. Staff not very friendly. Maybe a bad weekend that we stayed. Not sure. It was over $500 plus a night not $50.00. Should be extraordinary!

Excellent stay, food, and staff.
The staff were very kind, personable and accommodating. They adjusted our stay to meet our needs when our sea plane got delayed. The restaurant had the best pancakes and the room was very cozy and clean. We had a lovely view of the harbor from our balcony. We would highly recommend staying here.

World Class Location and Service
From start to finish this property exceeded my wife and I expectations. The view is like a postcard. The room was beyond perfect. The dining experience didn’t disappoint. We are very well seasoned travelers and the Friday Harbor House is now on top of our list. Don’t walk but run to this world class hotel.

Very Nice Atmosphere
Higher end than we are used to. Nice outdoor space, rooms were clean, shower nice, bed comfortable, wifi strong. Great view.

Great location not meeting all our expectations
We had rooms facing the harbour, one with a little balcony, one without. The view is wonderful, the hotel centrally located. The terrace with fire pitches is really nice too. We had lunch there on our day of arrival, which was nice but nothing special. Our croatian waitress who was there for a student job, was very nice, welcoming and full of ideas what we could do on the island. She was fabulous! The rest of the staff was ok and nice but neither welcoming, nor open. As an example: Neither did someone said a warm welcome or how was your trip checking in. Checking out they simply said „You are all set“. No goodbye or have a good trip. In a hotel of that price class we expect a more professional service. The rooms were nice, with a fire place and a hot tub but facing the harbour also meant hearing the noise of the ferries arriving as the voices from the terrace if you left the window open. The airconditioning unit is very loud. Our expectations for 600 dollars a night were very high and not met as far as service is concerned. However the complimentary coffee, tea, water, popcorn, cookies and oatmeals were very much appreciated. You can eat dinner Friday to Tuesdays there. There was a large group with a tour operator in the hotel and they definitely got a better service than we did. Maybe individual guests are not in the main focus of this hotel. On our tours over and about the island we met a lot of other people from the island who were ever so friendly and helpful and inspiring so we enjoyed our time there very much!
