Perfect location, 2nd time staying here. Everything is right outside your door. Its clean, quiet and the rooms have everything your need for your stay.
We loved staying at your condo. It was the perfect size, and the best location. So convenient to wander around downtown and come back and rest when needed. Communication with host was speedy and they answered all my questions. Great place. I'll stay there again!
We had a nice room, although the view was so so. Could have used a microwave and drinking glasses. Location was fantastic— just steps from the ferry terminal. Enjoyed our stay!

We missed our ferry reservation by three minutes and had to walk on, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The Channel Room is just one block from the ferry, making it so convenient. Such a great place to stay if you want to explore and enjoy all of downtown Friday Harbor!
Friday Harbor is the cutest town, and this place is in the heart of the downtown. The location is so close to restaurants, coffee shops and the downtown shopping area. Everything is walkable. The room is about the size of a standard hotel room. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend Friday Harbor.

Very clean apartment. Cozy but ok for two. Great location in the middle of all the shops and restaurants and the docks. Was quiet other than a brief barking in the night from the dog of one of the other guests. Only thing we missed was no ice available (that we could find).

We were so pleasantly surprised with the suite. It was in a perfect location - super clean - and well appointed. We loved the huge bed and all the little touches. 5 stars!
Stay was nice, the location makes everything downtown within walking distance. The only problem we had was on our last night when a couple rented the room next to us brought their puppy and locked him in there room for four and a half hours of him crying and braking until they got home around 11 30 p.m
This was my second trip to FH. I was unable to rent the room from my last trip but very happy I found this one. The location was perfect and an easy walk to everything we needed. If I return again, I'll definitely pick this location however I'll book way ahead in order to get a room with a balcony. Everything was very clean and the scent of the Lavender store below was very inviting and soothing. Definitely would book again.

The room was great for the price, exactly what we needed. There were small things that made it great like a big sized bed, a couple tables and chairs, private bathroom, full size coffee pot, mini fridge... just to name a few. It exceeded my expectations at the price point. Was comfortable and a great location.

Reviewer Comments:
Great location to base your San Juan vacation. Easy walking to anything in town and the ferry terminal. If you have a car the parking space is a big plus. Overall the unit was very clean except the shower curtain was covered in black mold below, very disgusting, and the tub drain needs unclogged, immediately fills up and drains very slow. These two things should be an obvious red flag for any decent housekeeper. That said it wasn't enough to ruin our stay and overall we were happy with everything else about the unit.

Overall aa good experience. Second time staying there. I had suggested adding a microwave last year which the management did not do. There was only 1 packet of coffee for a 3 day stay and no tea provided. 2 calls to the office were not returned. 1 tissue in box on bathroom counter and no refill. Bathroom fan is extremely noisy and bathroom door won't stay open. Needs an adjustment or door stop.

Perfect for our 3 night stay on the island. Right smack downtown with 3 great restaurants right below the apartment. Right next to the ferry terminal and the off street parking was a relief from the 2 hour parking limit on the street. Quiet and close to everything. Will come back again.

Reviewer Comments:
Entire unit needed a deep cleaning, updated look & furnishings . Specifically, window blinds are so old you can hear the particles of the rotten blinds falling when you closed them. Mattress was terribly broken down and lumpy. The split AC/Heat unit needs cleaning and new filter and the bath fan was loud and filthy. The tiled bathroom grout and carpeting was filthy. My biggest complaint was the need to strip the bedding before we left. Who asks that of guests when you are paying good money for your stay. Also the adjacent room guests were terribly load, we could here all of their conversations. I would not stay at this location again or recommend to a friend.
