Guest, May 2025

The room was great and the pool and hot tub were terrific! Staff were friendly and very helpful. My husband and I had a super time and highly recommend this place to stay at. It was also very quiet and near the downtown area. The bed was also very comfortable and we enjoyed the soap and lotion.

This is a fantastic spot, especially for families. Easy walking distance to the ferry, restaurants, and stores. They have an indoor pool and the kids love it! The hotel is a bit older but the rooms have been updated and are in really good shape. We love the San Juan Islands and this is the only place we stay!

This was an amazing place to stay in the colder months on San Juan! Cozy room and the warm indoor pool, hot tub and sauna made the trip worthwhile even on a cold and rainy November weekend.
