Did a last minute 3 night birthday solo trip and couldn't bring my car. I booked kayaking, whale watching excursions and a reservation at Walden (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) which were all within a couple blocks of this place. Watched the ferry come in and out of the harbor from the balcony and the people milling below. Decent breakfast sandos are downstairs, location is great to explore the cute town of Friday Harbor. This place was exactly what I was looking for. Not overly fancy, but was perfect for reading on the balcony, people watching, and walking the town. For those who like to sleep in past 8a and have the windows open all night, I'd recommend ear plugs for the boat and potential coffee shop rattle downstairs. If you're already up (which I was) it's kind of charming.
