We planned a short getaway to Friday Harbor with our two small children. I booked the room with the garden terrace not quite knowing what to expect. WOW! Although we felt a little awkward with the kids (most people staying there at the time did not have kids), we were very warmly welcomed by the staff. The garden terrace rooms led right outside the the lawn, views of the ferries, and fire pits. We were able to get the kids asleep and step outside to enjoy a drink and the fires both nights. We regretfully did not eat dinner at the restaurant at Friday Harbor House (no menu options that seemed feasible for a picky toddler), but we did enjoy a delicious breakfast. The room and amenities were excellent. I enjoyed my first experience making coffee with a Chemex, and I appreciated the bottles of wine available for purchase just inside the room. If we had not brought the kids with us, I could have happily spent the whole time at the hotel enjoying the views. For those with kids, the grocery store is just down the street, the whale museum is next door, and there are multiple coffee shops and ice cream places a stone's throw away. I can't wait to come back here again!

The hotel has a stellar location overlooking Friday Harbor and the ferries. It was impeccably clean and had nice touches such as San Juan Roasters coffee pourover, fireplaces, and robes in the rooms. It is the perfect place for a weekend getaway!

Quiet and well appointed room overlooking Friday Harbor - beautiful. Didn't care for the large soaking tub in the middle of the room, took up too much space and we dislike tubs. But not a huge deal. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.

We loved our weekend getaway at Friday Harbor House. The location was great and the views were beautiful. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. My one tiny complaint is I wish there was a microwave in our room. Other than that, it was perfect.

Loved the view onto Friday Harbor. Nice updated, clean spacious room. Only complaint is the size of the table next to one of the two chairs. It was way too small for game playing or even to put an iPad or drinks on. Would definitely stay here again, very nice, convenient to restaurants and shops.

We loved the location and beautiful views. The only real issue that we had was that their restaurant was not open at all during our stay of overnight. This forced us to seek breakfast, lunch and dinner at other restaurants. We have never experienced this in our travels throughout the world.

Thank you for choosing Friday Harbor House for your visit to San Juan Island. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We do have a breakfast service available each morning but our restaurant is closed for dinner on Wednesdays and Thursdays, year-round. We hope to see you again on your next visit to the islands. Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate the opportunity to continue improving our services.
