Bird Rock Hotel

Location is fantastically easy, right in the center of Friday Harbor, just a couple of minutes walk from the ferry and from all the restaurants, shops, other hotels, etc. The hotel is adorable and very well kept. Amenities were very nice. We were in Fidalgo, which is a little oddly set up, but I liked the quirky charm of it. Gorgeous jacuzzi tub. I used it so many times! Included breakfast was simple and nice. Fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, toast, hard boiled eggs. Lots of coffee in the rooms. A bunch of our friends also stayed in this hotel, and everyone's comments were positive. A group of us with three different reservations arrived at noon expecting we would have to drop off our bags and come back to check in a few hours later, but all of our rooms were ready for us, so we were able to check in immediately, which was a delightful surprise. The front desk staff and custodial staff were all very friendly, polite, and professional. It's called a hotel, but it has the feel of a guest house. You really feel taken care of!

This was a one-off issue that no one else will have, but our lights weren't working in our room. They had already ordered replacement fixtures, so I imagine that even the very next guests didn't have this problem. The overhead fixtures were having some sort of issue, so only the floor lamp and wall-mounted lamps worked, which meant our room was really dim. This was mostly fine because we mostly weren't in the room, but we did have to get ready for to attend a wedding, and putting on a full face of makeup in the dark is not an easy feat. Had we not been attending a wedding, I wouldn't have cared an iota that the ceiling lights weren't working.

LOCATION WAS EXCELLENT, CLOSE TO FERRY. IT'S SUCH A PRETTY SPOT.the scones in the morning were to die for.

THE PRICE WAS VERY EXPENSIVE, CONSIDERING IT WAS A SMALL ROOM WITH SHARED BATHROOM
