The staff was great but the entire hotel is not so exciting for the price and reviews. We are very accustomed to boutique hotels in the Pacific Northwest and have a certain level of expectations that Friday Harbor House didn’t match. We had a nice view of the harbor but also were on the second floor where we could easily hear the music and noise from the restaurant. In the morning we had to call the front desk to ask them to turn the music down (7a.m.) when breakfast was being served. To their credit they promptly turned it down. The breakfast was fair—nothing fantastic. You are within walking distance from everything in town. The Mi Casita Mexican restaurant is delicious. Do not miss the Lime Klin lighthouse and bring your binoculars so you can see the wildlife. On the recommendation of a friend we took the drive to Roche Harbor and were delighted with this side of town. All in all Orcas Island was a better place to visit.
