Location and service were both great. Room was slightly showing its age but for an island, it was alright. Bathroom could have been cleaner.

The location is perfect as it’s right in the middle of Friday Harbor. But it’s very pricey for what it’s worth. It’s also extremely noisy as it’s a motel set up so people are constantly walking by.
booking & check in stream lined and easy, and when the team texted and offered concierge services they weren't kidding! they got back to me promptly about a dinner question that turned out to be the highlight of our entire 2 week vacation. and were also very responsive and helpful when we needed to seek medical help on the island.
apart from these services, having the pool there for my kids was awesome post-national parks, and rooms were clean and comfortable for a peaceful night's sleep for my family.

Super convenient location, very close to shopping and restaurants. Easily within walking distance of the ferry terminal. Room was clean and well appointed, and has a unique lock code that changes per stay, so we felt very safe in the space.

Nice place, near ferry, but not really a "spa"
It was a nice hotel. Quiet, convenient and comfortable. It had a hot tub and a sauna, bathrobes, and some fragrant soaps and lotions, but wasn't clear to us what made it a spa. We didn't book it seeking a spa, so it didn't matter. We picked it for its location and that was GREAT. It is a short walk from the ferry landing and all the essential services are also very close, so you can book this property as a pedestrian ferry passenger with confidence.

Skip it, find a better location.
+ Pet friendly. Close access to Friday harbor. East online check in. Housekeeping staff is friendly and polite.
- Walls are thin, you will hear EVERY conversation your neighbors have. Adjoining rooms also have no sound proofing. Front office is usually closed. 4/5 times I went down to the front it was closed. Price point does not come close to matching the offered amenities. Anywhere else this would be a 2.5 star motel room, but they charge $350/night because it’s a busy place. Front desk staff was rude when I cancelled my second night due to 2am drunken neighbor and noise issues. Mildew on the shower curtain. Lacks attention to detail and regular upkeep is not completed.

Close to town could walk to restaurants and shops. Bathroom is small. Bed was comfortable. Our second night there some people had the room above us and were heavy and frequent walkers.
