The bathroom lighting was extremely poor. We were there for a wedding and got ready with poor lighting. It was awful. My sister who was in another room had no mirrors in the room. We had to go out to buy mirrors. Not sure if we would come back to this hotel.

We enjoyed the central location of the hotel. Parking was tricky, and we wish the hotel had parking spaces on the lot across the street.

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!

Cool old building with modern updates. The remote check in was clear and smooth.We received a couple texts from staff checking in during our stay, so it still felt very personable. Would highly recommend.

Very cute and the decorating, facilities, equipment were very nice. We were fortunate enough to have the shared bathroom to ourselves during a covid peak, so that was nice as well (we visited during the week in autumn). Right in the heart of everything in Friday Harbor. We would stay here again.

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.

The key area that was excellent was the staff Arlene and Holly. I was not aware that there was not dedicated parking. I walk with a cane and we had to park down the block. Also, the check-in was virtual and we had some difficulty understanding how to access the room. For the room we had you go through a swinging door to the left that appeared to be pad locked. It would be great if the padlock was removed totally making it less confusing. I would have also liked some type of security latch on the entrance door. This hotel was comfortable and conveniently located. In the living room they had a shag thick rug under the coffee table that due to the closeness I tripped on a couple of times. Again, I want to close and state that Arlene and Holly were absolutely great.

The lack of in-person staff was odd at first, but I got more help from texting my concierge than at any of the other hotels we stayed at during this trip. Facilities were clean and the whole place looked great; it was a bit noisy outside but the hotel's in the middle of downtown and near all the action, so it's a fair tradeoff for convenient shopping & dining.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Bird Rock. The room was small but very comfy. We enjoyed the shared deck and outdoor seating. Yes, it's a shared bath but both baths are very clean, with good showers. The lobby area and outdoor patio are charming and very welcoming. Expect morning street noise when early-morning ferries arrive with delivery trucks, but the hotel very helpfully supplies earplugs in every room. I'd love to return!

I loved the suite, having a patio, kitchenette, etc. Great location! Two challenging things . . . the staff could have been more helpful about a place to secure and expensive bike. They were just a big "no". I did have it on my patio vs. the entry courtyard. I popped it over the railing and locked it to my patio table. Also, very noisy room. Otherwise, a pretty fabulous place!!

My husband and I stayed here and we both really liked it. The hotel has a great and convenient location. Walking distance to restaurants, the Orca museum and the ferry. Communication is great even though is through text and email. We had a shared bathroom, which I was a bit nervous about. But the bathroom was clean and spacious.

I think it should be clear that when booking a room, What level the room is on. For example that the hotel doesn’t have elevator access or that the room is on the 3rd floor. Room was clean and pretty modern. The bed could be updated as it was very low to the ground and mattress was a little uncomfortable (bumpy). It should also be noted that walking on The 3rd flight of stairs are not up to standard stair width (very narrow) and steep. People with large feet have to walk sideways up the last flight. Loved how checking in was remotely done. Keypad to enter hotel and room was easy. Main floor was well decorated and stocked with amenities like utensils, coffee, etc. 2nd floor had a dedicated area to log into a computer should someone need to access their information remotely. Great location and it was peaceful during our stay.

The room was great with shared bathrooms that worked out fine. The Keurig did not work properly and the coffee in the reception area was cold at the night and in the morning.

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 am not going to take any points for the nosiness of the outside, it may not be the hotel’s fault. However, the cleanliness left some to be desired. Our bed was not made properly. The sheets were not even stretched properly, it seems like the maid only roll the covers and tucked them in. That in my view is not acceptable. He/she left the wet towels on top of the bed and were han hanged properly. In short, not cleaned properly. The noise was a BIG issue but we were told that in advance. We tried to use the ear plugs but, the noise was strong. Like I said, no points deducted from that area. Having the car on Friday Harbor is a big pain. You STILL NEED A CAR THERE so please don’t say that we shouldn’t taken our car. How else are you going to visit the state park and other things? Perhaps was the season but, there was only one decent restaurant Downriggers (I guess?). Many, many businesses closed or shutdown. Not likely I will ever visit again.

This was the perfect little boutique hotel. It’s location was amazing. One block from downtown and only a block and a half from the ferry. Very quiet incredibly clean, and everything you could need for amenities. Super cute and loved working with the staff. It was a most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. Our room even had a view of the harbor which was fantastic.

This charming hotel was just a few blocks from the ferry. Lots of restaurants in the area. The staff were very responsive. Quiet - the shared bathrooms were convenient. If you have trouble walking be sure to ask for a room on the first floor as there are steps involved.

Hotel rooms dont have private bathrooms. Our bathroom was 2 flights of stairs down, shared with other guests. I dont think Expedia should even list this kind of property in the same search results as hotels that have bathrooms, and should specificy "dorm" or "hostel". No elevator, so questionable ADA compliance.

This was a nice little Lower Floor Room, that was initially hard to find as it and another room had a separate entrance from the rest of the building. It was a nice little apartment style of hotel room with Kitchen facilities that came in handy, as many restaurants in the area were not always open when they would have liked to have been, due as we heard, to staffing issues. Luckily we were next door to a grocery store, so we were able to get food there to prepare in our room. The only complaint about this particular room (probably the only room with this feature), was that there was a very small step between the Living Room and Kitchen areas that we kept tripping on as it was so visibly unnoticable. Luckily we didn't have any falls, but this could be a hazard for an older, less agile guest.
