My friend and I took my boys here for a few nights in August 2011. It is a short walk to restaurants and the water, a bit set back but very walkable. Staff are super friendly, cute little shop when you check in and computer use available. Indoor pool was a nice treat for the boys. Would definitely return. More

Took the Victoria Clipper up to Friday Harbor on what turned out to be the last really nice weekend of the summer in Sept. 2011. We stayed at the Earthbox which is only a 2-3 block walk to the marina. Shuttle transportation was provided upon our arrival and departure. The staff at the Earthbox were outstanding. Our room was very... More

I used a Groupon to book a 2 night stay for my partner and myself in an Earth Room in December. We were greeted at reception by pleasant staff and complimentary tea and hot chocolate. Our room was on the first floor, had two beds, and was plenty roomy for the two of us. There is also a microwave and... More

Their desire to please wass only matched by the excellent and unique lavender amenities they provide in each rooms bathroom. The beds are comfortable and I... More

My first choice hotel was completely booked so I had to stay in this hotel for 1 night. I was open to it since it's cheaper then the other hotel and seemed nice from the website. I was quite dissapointed. The room was so tiny, you had enough room to walk around the bed and go into the restroom. I... More

Dear Leslie, We are so sorry we didn't meet your expectations. Yes, some of our rooms are small, like boxes, that's actually how we came up with our name Earthbox. I'm surprised to hear you didn't like the bed. We regularly get raving reviews about our Sealy mattresses. The air conditioner sounds awful. I will have that checked right away.... More

The staff were outstandingly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and well appointed. Even if some might consider the room small, I would much rather have a small room with nice trim that a large space with scratchy blankets. A whirlpool tub, large bathroom, and nice bed and a room that heated up quickly to keep me comfortable. The... More

I got in late to Friday Harbor and desperately needed a motel room that would accept dogs. This was the only place I could find in town that was dog friendly and man were they dog friendly! (And people friendly too!) From the beginning I could see this place was a class act. The staff was really friendly and very... More

Cute little boutique motel where you can rent bicycles and cycle to a nearby winery! A nice hot tub & pool, and walking distance to everything. Loved it! More

Stayed here for a weekend in early October, and was very impressed. From the lovely lobby and helpful, friendly staff, to the leather chairs in the room. The bed (with quality linens) was super comfortable, and we appreciated having the mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room. There was an iPod dock on the clock/radio, dimmer switches for the... More

Recent visit to Friday Harbor with a stay at the Earthbox. This is basically an overpriced motel 6. The room had a king size bed with almost no space to move around. No closet. The TV has to be placed off center from the bed because of limited space. The room is dark and depressing even when the sun is... More
