We realized we do not like shared bathrooms and it was tough not having any running water in the room. Even a small sink woulf be great!

An excellent little hotel in Friday Harbor

This was a last minute booking for my wife and I and we couldn't have been happier. Shared bathrooms and a very small but very comfortable room. The whole place was clean, quiet and inviting. The Bird Rock made no-contact check in so easy they just keep doing it, and it works beautifully. This is a place I will return to, for certain.

I thought this place was really cute. We booked it super last minute for a busy weekend, so we got a room without a bathroom and had to use the shared bathrooms. But it worked out well. I never had to wait. Everything was so nice. I loved the bathrobes too. I have two tiny complaints. One would be the pillows were too big and poofy. Way too thick for me to be comfortable. Some slim pillow options would be nice. And the sheets smelled like bleach.

Great location but limited comfort

It’s well-located, with clean modern fixtures and furnishings. But this is not a hotel, it’s a multi room ABNB. There’s no staff on site and response time to texts can vary. I can only speak for our room (12) which was a large bathroom with a bed in it. You step out of the shower right to the bed. The toilet has a sliding door, but it’s only a few feet from the bed. Power outlets are very hard to access. There is limited dresser and hanger capacity. No fridge or microwave. The room is an example of a Paul Simon lyric, “One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor.” You can hear EVERYTHING going on on the floor above you. So, great location but limited comfort for the price.

Having stayed at Bird Rock and Earthbox I'd choose Earthbox for my next visit to Friday Harbor. Both properties are well decorated and maintained but, despite Bird Rock's convenience, for those who are walking from the ferry, Earthbox has the advantage of being a quiet location who's rooms ( or at least my room ) have sleeping areas that are not flooded with light ( during typical sleeping hours). The staff are very helpful and welcoming.

Nice location, clean, No AC, remote "customer serv

Hotel was very clean. However, they do not have a place to sstore luggage pre- or post-check-in so you have to take it 3 blocks up hill to the companion hotel. There is also no airconditioning and no windows to open. Our room was warm and stuffy so we slept with the outside door (second floor!) open. Good location in town and very clean. Not wild about remote hotel staff conact only. call me old fashioned.
