United States, September 2024

9.2/10

During our stay at Discovery Inn, we were treated to a truly exceptional experience. The attention to detail and immaculate cleanliness throughout the property made our time there feel special. The room was spacious and felt like a home away from home, and the outdoor areas were charming and inviting. However, the uphill walk to downtown can be a bit challenging after a long day of exploring, so keep that in mind. Overall, the stay was memorable with friendly management who genuinely care about their guests.

While it's a short distance to downtown Friday Harbor, the uphill walk can be tough after a long day. It's definitely convenient yet requires a bit of effort to access the area.
