We had booked the room with double queen beds. The suite had the beds laid out in two separate rooms. The independent bedroom had an AC while there was a fan above the second bed. The kitchenette was well equipped with necessary cutlery and utensils. Clean, spacious rooms. Not very close to the harbor but manageable walking distance. The onsite cafe (Medio cafe) serves breakfast and lunch during weekends (Fri-Sun). We had our breakfast there on the day of checkout. The options are limited and food is good - not exceptional neither anything to complain about. The game room on the property had a good collection of board games and other games to keep you busy for a few hours. We didn't get time to explore the hot tub.

The hotel seems to be pretty old and hasn't had any renovations. So the furniture and woodwork seems old and faded. Everything is functional so no real complaints, just that it doesn't give the "fancy" feeling.

Within reasonable walking distance of ferry terminal. Roomy accomodations with kitchen (full-size fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, hot water heater, and kitchen sink). Comfy king size bed with nice linens. We were traveling by bicycle and there was room in our "living room" to securely store two bikes while we were out and about. Housekeeping is by request (not automatically provided every day), which is sensible--costs are kept down by right-sizing cleaning staff. It's possible to grab extra towels and toiletries from the front desk if needed. If the room needs cleaning, just ask in the morning as you head out the door. In-house cafe provides a quick way to get breakfast and coffees. Lobby has comfortable sitting areas, plus a fireplace.

Espresso drink prep in cafe needs work (training, testing, and quality control).

This is a cute establishment tucked into a quiet neighborhood. The hotel staff were very friendly. They have spacious apartments with great amenities; we especially enjoyed the Medio Cafe and outdoor jacuzzi. It’s close to the Friday Harbor ferry and main streets, which was ideal since we left our car in Anacortes. Although we didn’t need to use it, they had A/C. This was a last-minute find for us. I’m not 100% sure how it compares to other hotels on San Juan Island, but I suspect it’s more affordable than most in the area.

The one drawback to our stay was the lack of soundproofing between stories. Super frustrating when you’re trying to sleep and your neighbors are night owls. (The sound of their phones vibrating woke me up at 4:00AM the first night.) I’d still go back because the pros definitely outweigh the cons here, but I’d request an upper level room or bring strong ear plugs.

Great atmosphere, nice lobby, lovely cafe and we received free beverage vouchers for the cafe which was a thoughtful touch. Spacious room, clean, comfortable beds.

While the building and lobby were very modern, the room itself was quite dated, particularly in the bathroom and decor. We got a discounted price through booking.com so it was great for us, but not sure I would have been happy to pay the full price for this dated of a room had I not gotten the discount.

The amenities made this a great stay. There are lots of small/cozy (and large) gathering spaces - comfy chairs by the fireplace, sitting area by glass artwork display, indoor game room, puzzle room, movie theatre room, large coffee/sandwich shop with lots of windows, outdoor children’s play area, outdoor game area, lots of patios, hot tub, and more. Also, the bathroom had two small shelves for toiletries.

The room decor is dated. However, it was very clean.

The double queen room was very spacious, basically 2 rooms with a kitchenette. Loved having a hot water kettle but no tea was available. Keurig coffee was plentiful but you do have to walk to the lobby. The hallway was interesting; the doors to rooms are perpendicular so there is an optical effect. Staff was very friendly and helpful with tips, including renting a car from the agency across the street. It was our first time in San Juan so we were mostly out and did not check out the cafe, hot tub, or picnic area. We just walked from the ferry, it's not too far but it is uphill...

Tea would have been lovely in addition to coffee. No half and half, just powdered creamer in packets. No dish washing detergent in the kitchen, I guess they don't expect guests to wash dishes on vacation!

I received a text from Friday Harbor Suites on the morning of check-in inquiring of our arrival time. When we arrived, EARLY, our double bedroom suite was ready. Room was spacious and clean. Staff was very friendly and serviceable.

Our suite was not renovated. Decor and furniture reflective of early '90s. But the internet posting shows some suites that have been updated and some suites that have not. So I was not mislead. If you are looking for a very modern suite, then this may not be the place for you. Otherwise, very pleased with stay.

We liked the onsite coffee shop, bakery items, access to refill water bottles. The balcony was a plus!!

complimentary shampoo and conditioner bottles were very small and hard to squeeze contents out. Bed mattress was uncomfortable, had a sink hole, could use replacement. Crazy hallway! Did not know about the shuttle services until leaving, check-in staff could have told more of amenities of hotel.

I liked the suite arrangement. Since most things on the island shut down around 5, it was nice to have the sitting area with a TV separate from the bedroom. It felt roomier than a hotel room. I liked having access to a refrigerator and microwave for popcorn, drinks, and morning breakfast items

The cafe was never open when we were there. It would have been nice to have that as an option.

It was a perfect place to stay to allow for a nice morning jog or walk to the ferry or shops which were about a 1/2 mile away. We are in our 50's and this was very easy. We utilized ebikes from Mikes Meat Cycle and it was the perfect getaway. The cafe had excellent breakfast and staff were very friendly.

I'm from Texas and use to ceiling fans but the weather is not hot it's just a personal preference.
