I expected it to be a much nicer place than it was because of the price and advertising. Earthbox is a renovated "Best Western" type of hotel. The rooms have nice earth tones with wood floors and pillowtop mattresses. The beds where very comfortable. If I were charging the prices they are I would have had customer service provide extras... more

This hotel was clean. The room had a new coat of paint and the bedding was very nice. Other than that, not worth the $200+ a night. It is a motel but not even with a parking stall for every room. Our building had 10 rooms and 5 stalls...where did the others park? When the room price is over $200... more

I am getting married on 09.19.09 and for our little honey moon we decided to come to Friday Harbor. Earthbox Motel was a motel that both my fiance and I chose to stay at but as a gift, my future mother in law went ahead and booked it for us. I have to say I didn't really do the research... more

After traveling since 5am to get to island, the staff at EarthBox informed us that there was absolutely no way that we could check in even 30 minutes early to get ready for a wedding we were attending at 3:30pm (Check in is at 3:00pm). Although our section of 'earth' rooms were the first to be cleaned, as they explained... more

I was concerned about noise based on some reviews so I called the hotel and they could not have been nicer. Selected an upper floor remote section of the property--there are several different buildings scattered through this large property--at the end of the building. The room was small but adequate, very pottery barnish in style. Comfy beds, mini frig etc.... more

Sorry, I wanted to like Earthbox, especially since I payed $230 for a room. But both my wife and I thought this place was remarkably expensive, given what is was -- a tastefully decorated, but basic motel, in a viewless parking lot. On the plus side, I think the rooms are accurately depicted in their website. The furnishings are really... more

My daughter and I just returned back from our trip to San Juan Island. Our two-day stay at the Earthbox Motel was a positive one. The location was absolutely perfect. Close to everything in Friday Harbor. The free bicycles were convenient and even included helmets, which was a bonus, as I had forgotten mine. They do not have bikes for... more

We've just returned from staying at the Earthbox Motel and Spa for the weekend. I must say, it was a total letdown. The place is nothing more than a Motel 6 with a new paint. At close to $250/night for the so-called Earth Place is such a rip-off. The room is smelly, does not have air-conditioning, and the tub is... more

just got back from a weekend at friday harbor, which was great. the hotel experience left a little to be desired, however. while the location was great, the room we had was average for the price - about $175US per night. nothing went horribly wrong. the staff were friendly and welcoming. having just spent a weekend in ocean shores for... more
