My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were conveniently converted from two rooms, offering two bathrooms which was incredibly helpful, but the aircon left the room too hot without it on. The size of the rooms was cozy for two people, but it would be tough with an extra person, and I found them extremely small for the price.

The rooms, though cozy for two people, felt too hot without the aircon on. The presence of two bathrooms was incredibly helpful.

The service was surprising in a good way as they already had someone assigned to our room. The staff was helpful, friendly, and even assisted us with reservations for our return trip on the ferry. They were very courteous and offered us a better room or deal than originally reserved.
Location
6.0
The location was relatively close to downtown Friday Harbor and not far from the ferry, making it convenient and walkable. However, being across the street from the airport made the management feel more like prison wardens than accommodating hosts.
Dining
7.0
With options ranging from a snack spot with coffee or tea to a grocery store behind the motel, dining was satisfactory. However, lunch could have been more convenient instead of having to walk uphill with luggage.

My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The staff was incredibly nice, the room was cute, cozy, and clean, making it the best economical option on the island. The only downside was the small size of the room, but it was still comfortable and had all I needed during my stay.

The rooms down the corridor were small with basic furnishings, but clean and truly the best economical room on the island.

If you're someone who mainly needs a clean place to rest and freshen up because all the adventure is waiting outside, then this hotel might suit you. It was very disappointing for some aspects, but overall, it served its purpose well for me.

The location just outside downtown Friday Harbor was perfect for me to relax in the evenings after exploring the island. It's exactly as advertised - tiny but with essentials nearby.

Instead of having to trek uphill with all my luggage, the hotel's proximity to a nice supermarket made it convenient for quick snack runs. Loved the option to grab some light bites just like a coffee shop.
