Top Friday Harbor Hotel Reviews

Tucker House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was amazing! The staff is very responsive via the expedia messanger, quick check-in, super cozy room with stocked kitchen. The breakfast was great, including a to-go breakfast the day we departed - they thought of every detail. Nice location, little dog run area - I will be back!"

Friday Harbor House

8/10 Good

"The staff is not consistent. The restaurant greeter is not customer first. The large round table in the lobby means there’s literally nowhere to sit or congregate. Third floor has free coffee and sodas in the morning in the central area while there’s nothing on the main floor common area - for a very expensive room. Views are superb."

Bird Rock Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very accommodating TV in bedroom didn’t work Close to town Would stay again"
