Find the Cheap Lopez Hotels

this was our first visit to friday harbor. we walked on the ferry so needed a hotel a short walk from the ferry terminal. we selected the friday harbor house and also a ”non-view” room as it was over $450 per night all in. first, the good things about the property. the staff is great. very nice, helpful...want you to have a great experience. we found this at the front desk, restaurant and the fellow that repairs things in your room. the on sight restaurant for dinner was quite. imaginative well prepared food with friendly service at the table and in the bar. only downside to the restaurant is the wine list has a very poor selection of quality white wines list and by the glass that are current in their vintage year, i.e. fresh. the location of the property is excellent to get around downtown and to and from the ferry. second, the unfortunate piece about the hotel is the rooms. i travelled all over the world for business and pleasure and do not recall every getting so little in the way of a room for so much. small room, noisy location, portable swamp cooler for heat and air conditioning located on the floor near the bed, foam filled pillows versus feathered pillows...for this kind of money this is just ridiculous. the only reason my review was average versus poor was the staff and the restaurant.

I originally was hesitant to stay here but it was a very pleasant experience! Staff was very friendly and my room was clean and cozy. I stayed in one of the micro rooms which ended up perfect for me as a single traveler. I would for sure make sure you are aware of the size of the room you are staying in before you make your reservation. When I first went in my room it smelled very nice! I always worry about how rooms will smell, especially in smaller places. And it was also nice that it didn’t smell like a fragrance used to cover up smells. I was there for 4 nights and it smelled nice the whole time. Also the AC worked amazingly. It wasn’t very hot while I was there, but in the 70s and I have to sleep pretty cold. Overall I felt safe and the room was relatively quiet. You could occasionally hear the people in the room next to me but it was not bothersome. And one of the best parts is they actually have a fan in the bathroom! I plan on staying here whenever I’m traveling alone. You can’t beat the price of the micro rooms!

Really nice quaint hotel within walking distance from the harbor, although they do have a shuttle if needed. Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious room. Good breakfast buffet. Located in a quiet neighborhood one half mile from the harbor.
