My husband and I love this place. We have been back multiple times. Trendy, NW, spa vibes. Very romantic. It's great to be in walking distance of literally everything but also have a beautiful room and cozy lobby to hang out to have a cocktail and play games. We've come with a group of friends as well because the island is great for day trips like hiking and biking, and the hotel is great for chilling as a group and easy walk to dinner spots.

Years ago this place was incredibly welcoming with a friendly lobby, continental breakfast with homemade scones, cookies and lemonade in the afternoon and you would get the best sleep in the most comfortable bed ever. The experience is different now and not the five star rating I gave it in the past. The bed felt like it had a broken spring, the pillows weren't great and I didn't sleep great. Other amenities have gone down hill or disappeared as well, but I do like that you can get into your room with a code. That part is a nice improvement. Overall, this was a mediocre experience and after many long years of going to this hotel in the past, we might try somewhere else in the future.

I booked this hotel, a couple of days later they write me that my room is on 3 floor and by the way it has no toilet, you will find that on the second floor. They did not say that and does not say that when booking, so you are led to believe it is a normal hotel room like any other room in a hotel that has a price tag of almost 300 USD. We would never book a room that does not have a toilet in the room, it is not a camping we are going on. So we canceled.

The place was cute and quaint. The common area was nice and stocked with coffee and tea. We stayed in the Fidalgo room, it was small but cozy. The reason for the three stars is there was multiple chunks of black hair in the bedsheets when we pulled them back. For $345 a night I would have expected a clean bed and not a bunch of women’s black hair. It was actually quite gross and if we were staying somewhere with a front desk I would have definitely asked to change rooms. Other than that everything else seemed clean and it was quiet. The only other thing to note is there is no sink in the bathroom so you need to wash your face and brush teeth in the kitchenette.

My wife and I stayed in the Speiden room for two nights. It was an OK room with an odd shower, very deep with an unusual step in. The bird Rock has a good downtown location. Our room had a view of a supermarket loading dock. It was quite noisy early in the morning. I don’t know about the other rooms but I feel that prospective customers should be aware of this. I sent an email to the owner about this but I did not get a response. I was disappointed that I didn’t get a response. On the positive side, the community area outside our room was nice and gave us some extra space to chill out.

We stayed in a two-room suite on the lowest floor. We checked in remotely and never saw a staff member, but any needs were just a phone call away. Our entrance was from the side of the building, while most of the others were from the front entrance and lobby area. The suite was clean and comfortable. The sitting area was separate from the bedroom. And the kitchen area was bigger than usual with a full-size sink. It was well stocked. You had access to replenish all your needs in the lobby area, which had a lovely sitting area, table seating and quiet music playing. Access to it was also by a code. We explored upstairs from there and found access to a nice sitting area on the balcony. Also a nice enclosed courtyard outside the front entrance. There are bikes available for use, but unless you’re good at navigating steep hills - don’t expect to use them. Remember, you have access to a pool and spa at their sister property. That’s also where a front desk is manned. It’s not as centrally located, but within walking distance of the Bird Rock. Some reviews complained about the street noise. For us, it was just in the early morning when we heard trucks (maybe garbage collection?). The shower had plenty of hot water - and good pressure. We had to be conscious of the step-down to the bathroom and kitchen area. Nice that they have a built-in nightlight there. Would not use the sofa bed for adults. I slept on it and was very uncomfortable as I could feel the bars below the mattress.

We had a truly perfect experience! It was our first time in the San Juan Islands and the hotel is both lovely and in an ideal location. We had the Marrowstone Suite - so it was extra special. Hot tub was such a nice way to end the day! I read some negative reviews about the desk being unstaffed, but we thought the service was top notch! Extra towels and necessities are available whenever you need them, and every question we asked was answered pretty much immediately! Better than most hotels! Highly recommend!

Love the room and amenities at the hotel, and its location is walking distance to all of downtown Friday Harbor. The balcony overlooking the docks in the evening was our favorite part of our stay, with open but still private views where we could enjoy the evening
