We stayed in a harbor view king room for 4 nights and can recommend this place. Room was lovely, bathroom excellent and the views are fabulous. Appreciated the complimentary coffee both in the room as well as the lobby. We dined at Vinny’s Italian restaurant next door which was great. Would definitely stay here again if we return to the island.

Stephanie at the bar took care of us and was great. We walked in just after 5 and sat at one of the fire pits. Best drinks and views in town! We had the English Camp and Aiparist cocktails if the menu.

On a recent trip to the San Juan Islands, I had the pleasure of dining at the Harbor House. It was a fantastic experience. The menu had changed from the last time that I was there. I liked it a lot. Kind of like a Spanish tapas idea. I was able to customize my meal to what I wanted. It was all very tasty. Extra kudos to Sadie. Not only did she make me the best old fashioned that I have had in a while, she and the manager helped me surprise my sister during our dinner. I couldn't have pulled it off without them. I will be returning to Friday Harbor in a couple of months. A trip to the Harbor House will be part of that trip too!

Loved this hotel. We had a corner room. The view was absolutely amazing. We were able to watch the boats come in and out but not hear them. The staff greeted us with a glass of wine which was much appreciated. They had a filtered water machine on each floor and supplied us with a refillable bottle for us to keep along with a pair of sunglasses. Nice touch. The room was modern, spacious and beautifully decorated. Can’t wait to return.

For the past few years we have organized a wildlife photography trip to San Juan Island to photograph foxes. Friday Harbor House is our base of operations, and they do a superb job. The rooms are very comfortable. Staff are always helpful. And the restaurant goes out of their way to accommodate our group of 15 for dinner. It is a wonderful property!

We went for our 5 year wedding anniversary and loved the room, the staff, the food at Friday Harbor House. It was so great to actually feel like you got to know the staff while you were there. The room and bathroom was big, parking was no problem and you are right down town so a car wouldn't even be necessary for a weekend trip.

We booked a room with a view of the harbor, and it was beautiful. The room was cleaned, new/modern-looking, and had nice amenities (organic coffee/tea, gooseneck electric kettle, quality toiletries, etc.). Parking was free and convenient, Location was super conveniently located and within a short walk to many restaurants, shops, and the ferry terminal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely would stay here again.
