The office manager and staff were super helpful and friendly when we had a last minute booking request. The rooms are small but clean and quiet and all we needed while visiting the island for whale watching, shopping, and outdoor adventures.

This property is always exceptionally clean and the staff is as friendly as could be. I love the double bed room with the two bathrooms. The single bed rooms are quite small but comfy and quiet and the location is excellent.

Nice ppl, the room is small but they tell you the size when you book! We had a great night in town, walked home & had a great night in our room also. Easy peasy. There is a lot to explore on SJI so you should only be in the room to shower sleep and make love lol it’s fine for all of those things.)

One night on Friday Harbor

The accommodations were adequate for my one night business stay. I would stay here again. Taking in sunset from Line Kiln State Park was the highlight.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property was dated and no frills, but clean. When they say its a micro room, they mean it, I could nearly touch both walls and hit my elbows in the shower. For the island, the price was good and it was walkable to down town and breakfast options. The staff were super friendly though and I would stay there again if I went back.

Very clean small hotel, nice lady at the front desk who cared enough to call us on the day of arrival. The premises are clean, and “retro” can’t even call this place “old” because everything feels very clean - spotless shower, like CLEAN 😃 Walkable distance to downtown,
