Having stayed at Bird Rock and Earthbox I'd choose Earthbox for my next visit to Friday Harbor. Both properties are well decorated and maintained but, despite Bird Rock's convenience, for those who are walking from the ferry, Earthbox has the advantage of being a quiet location who's rooms ( or at least my room ) have sleeping areas that are not flooded with light ( during typical sleeping hours). The staff are very helpful and welcoming.

We enjoyed the central location of the hotel. Parking was tricky, and we wish the hotel had parking spaces on the lot across the street.
