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.

Perfect place to be for our time in Friday Harbor. It’s location is ideal: five minute walk from the ferry, walking distance to restaurants and shops, quiet spot despite its proximity to everything.

We picked Earthbox Inn specifically because they have a heated indoor pool, as we were traveling with kids. Our experience was exceptional! Clean, spacious rooms and an easy self-check in process. They accommodated our requests for early check-in, as well as late check out which was greatly appreciated as we have special needs family members.

We booked a last minute trip to Friday Harbor and loved staying at Earthbox! Omar checked us in and was so friendly & even gave our dog a goodie bag when we checked out! The room was comfortable, clean, exactly what we needed - and the location is great (walking distance to everything you need). Thank you for a great stay, we will be back!
