Earthbox Inn is an amazing place in Friday Harbor. The staff was absolutely delightful and their location could not have been more perfect. The staff gave us great options on places to eat and gave us great information on the best place to spot whales. Some of the best hotel staff I have ever seen! The rooms were clean and... More

the price may have been a little steep - but it seemed that way on the whole island. Was a beautiful and comfortable room. They also had bikes to rent out front - but unfortunately we didn't have the time to go out and explore the island.

The staff was very friendly helpful. This motel is very nice and very comfortable ! We slept like babies! There are lavendar scented soaps, shampoo and lotion that the island is known for. The location is about a four block walk, directly up the main street, from the ferry landing and makes it very accessible without a car. There are... More

The staff at the Earthbox Inn were fabulous! I was enjoying my stay so much, I extended it an additional night. The down bedding was so comfy, and I loved the lavender scented lotions and soaps that are well known on the Island. The grounds are well kept, and had tables and chairs to enjoy outdoor dining. I will definitly... More

It's actually a refurbished 60's motel. Very clean rooms, pool & outdoor area. If you want to walk or bike onto the ferry and save the cost of not taking a car this place works well. They also have free loaner bikes, although they are single speed beach bikes, good for around town but not for exploring the island. If... More

First off, The room was very expensive. The pictures on their website made the hotel seem like it's very updated but once you get into the room you can see its a cheap paint job and little things they did when trying to make it look better. It's more like a glorified motel. Very poorly installed french doors which you... More

Hi Nicole, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an in depth review about your experience. I'm so sorry we didn't live up to your expectations. Yes, a glorified motel is what we are. We like to call it our hybrid project between motel and resort. We are trying very hard on our website, rack cards... More

Stayed here four night last week and Eathbox met and exceeded everything we had hoped for. Location is on the main drag up from town and an easy walk anywhere in the "city center". Our room was large with modern soothing decor, clean and well equiped. The room smelled good because they use local lavender toiletries, the bed was plush... More

Four of us went over for Easter Weekend and stayed at the Earthbox Motel - it exceeded every expectation we had! We were on the ground floor and had laminate floors while our friends were upstairs and had carpet. Both were nice although we preferred the laminate. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were nice, and everything was very modern.... More

Drove from Redmond, took the ferry, spent Saturday touring the island, visiting the shops and hanging out with our son, daughter in law and two young granddaughters. We actually stayed in what was a small two story house so we had tons of privacy. The beds and linens were wonderful. We loved the HUGE DEEP bathtub and steam shower, while... More

Just few blocks from the ferry landing, its easy to walk up to this place. The rooms were cozy and well maintained. The swimming pool was on the smaller side but great place for kids to play around. With the spa right next door, it couldn't get any better.
