FAQs
Do you have an elevator?
We do not. Because we’re terraced into a hillside, that means we have a lot of stairs. All of our guestrooms are accessed by exterior stairs so on each room’s detail page, we’ve included a step-o-meter to help prepare you for the climb.
Of course, we’re always happy to help you with luggage!
Which Rooms are pet-friendly?
We're unable to accommodate pets that aren't dogs! On our stay at the inn or rooms overview page, we’ve labeled the fido-friendly accommodations with a paw print. Our dog-friendly accommodations are Sweet 5, Penthouse 4 and Penthouse 7. We welcome a maximum of two puppies per doggie-friendly dig, and each puppy is subject to a $30/night puppy pass fee. We're unable to accommodate pets that aren't dogs!
Where do I park?
We offer parking INN our garage on Front Street for vehicles under 7'6" tall and less than 18' long. Parking in the garage is available by first-come, first-served paid reservation and costs $15 - $21/night/space. You can add parking to your stay when booking with us by phone or online.
We may be unable to honor requests for vehicle garage parking upon your arrival, but will be happy to direct you to street parking available throughout Friday Harbor. If you have a bicycle, we'll offer you a complimentary spot to stow it with us in the parking garage throughout your stay.

Do all of your rooms have a harbor view?
They do not.
Much like our step-o-meter, we’ve included a view-o-meter on each of our rooms’ detail page that will let you know what sort of a view you’re INN for. It’s important to note that our Euro guestrooms don’t offer exterior windows but all of Sweets and Penthouses do.
Here’s a quick rundown of the harbor view from each room:
Great: Penthouse 1, Penthouse 2
Really good: Sweet 1, Sweet 2, Sweet 3
Corner view from the inside and big view from the deck: Penthouse 3, Penthouse 4, Penthouse 6
No view from the room: Sweet 5, Penthouse 7, Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3, Euro 4
Unique view of the ferry terminal and town: Penthouse 5
Do you have down pillows and comforters?
We offer enviroloft & primaloft comforters and pillows that are 100% down-free but still really comfy.
How far in advance should I book?
It really depends on the season. However, holidays, weekends and summer months are always INN really high demand. You can check availability and rates at any time by clicking 'book' or by using the calendar on the homepage.
How close is the hotel to the ferry?
Really, really, really close! INN fact, we’re closest of all the Friday Harbor Hotels which makes for a really easy walk INN the event you leave your car on the mainland and walk on the ferry.
Do I need a car on the Island?
You’ll be able to access everything within town limits really easy by walking but may want to bring a car along if you’d like to check out some of the natural spots around San Juan Island, especially if your visit is after Labor Day and before Memorial Day.
If you visit between Memorial Day and Labor Day, you’ll have access to the transit bus and mopeds to get around. Of course, you can always rent a bicycle to get around, too!
How do I get from SeaTac to Friday Harbor?
There are lots of options - take a look here to pick the one that works best for you!
Should I go see the other Islands while I'm visiting?
Yes! All of the ferry-served San Juan Islands are really special and really unique. We highly recommend that you check out every island that you can.
Our proximity to the ferry terminal also makes island hopping really easy. Just make sure you’re prepared and have figured out transportation before venturing out to Lopez or Orcas!
What's the weather like?
We're generally warmer INN the winter and cooler INN the summer than most spots in Washington State. Plus, that rain shadow you've heard about is really true!
