Harbor Inn

The place located in centrally so you have many options to grocery and food within walking distance. Big plus.
Not a fancy place. We had two queen bed room. Clean bed rooms.
TV channels are very limited. I believe only 8 or 9 channels.
No Air Condition. Fans only. This may be an issue for hot summer days if you decided stay.
Breakfast (7.00am to 8.30am) is «Really» basic consists of 3 different types of cereals. Some sweet danish pastry. As for drinks you get Milk, Orange juice and coffee.
Customer Service: Sabrina is the manager who runs the show there. She cleans the breakfast arrangement on the dot 8.30. Even if you late couple of minutes she would not help you. I want to get some orange juice for my son so, I arrived just couple of minutes after breakfast and she would not offer any help getting juice. Although the fridge is located in next room… Dont expect any great customer service. You get what you paid for…

We were extremely disappointed with several aspects of this motel and we only stayed one night!
First, we were not informed of a two night minimum when we booked the room for only a Saturday night. Beware.
Second, there is NO A/​C in these rooms. It was miserable. Everyone was forced to have their front doors open!
Finally, the toilet didn’t work (no water!) and the next morning I got a very, VERY rude reaction from the front desk woman saying that she already knew of that problem (and didn’t fix it!!!) and that I should have known to simply flip up the handle. Which was NOT the problem.
We are NEVER returning to this place, and I would Not recommend it.

As expected, this hotel is nothing fancy but is very clean, quiet, and easy to get to off the ferry. There were two large grassy areas for our dog and there is a grocery store just across the street with great coffee and donuts! The service was what made it a 5 star experience for us; our infant came down with a fever and we had to end our vacation early. They could have held us accountable for the extra nights we had booked, but instead they graciously just charged us for the one night we stayed.

This is a nice, clean, generic hotel. It is easy to find and right across the street from a grocery store just off of the highway going through town. The parking lot gets cramped when the hotel is fully booked (we stayed here for 4^th of July), but we all still fit. I am on crutches so we requested a first floor room as they do not have an elevator (FYI). Our room was clean and actually quite large! As most smaller hotels in this area, they do not have A/​C, but did provide an oscillating stand fan in our room in case it was too warm (which we didn’t end up using).
My dad made our reservation, along with their room, and out a deposit down. However when we checked in, the gal at the reception desk was apparently new and got confused when my husband and dad both checked in and would then pay the remaining balance separately. We somehow ended up paying over $ 200 (!!!) for our one-​queen room. Then next morning dad went down to the office and talked to someone else about the pricing. I’m not sure how the girl before screwed it up, but the morning person fixed everything and we were in our way.
Overall– a nice little hotel on the island.

Yes, they allow dogs… but they don’t tell you ahead of time that the dog is not allowed to be left alone in the room (so apparently I was supposed to bring her to the wedding or leave her in the car to suffocate) and isn’t allowed on the bed (good luck telling that to my dog while I’m fast asleep). Not to mention the room was hot as Hades and smelled funny. The one redeeming quality was the guy who was very nice and empathetic when reprimanding me. However, I will not return again… I’d rather camp.

This is a motel — a very traditional, 2 story, no frills motel. But in the world of motels this is a nice place to stay. And on an island brimming with B&Bs it’s a nice, low cost alternative to pricier accommodations.
The décor is basic and motel-​drab, but the property and rooms are spotless and kept in great repair. Each room has a good sized mini-​fridge and microwave and the rooms are spacious.
The owner, a former documentary filmmaker, bought the property with his wife in an effort to change careers and wants to maintain the motel as a nice place to stay. In keeping with this goal, the motel office closes at 10 pm each night so that it doesn’t become an attractive place for hook-​ups or low-​life characters. This is not a no-​tell motel, but rather a low cost alternatives for families on the road.
If I were traveling in this area I would stay here again.

«It’s beautiful» whispers my 5 year old niece. Apparently any place with blooming wisteria arching over doorways has a magical effect on her.
Making arrangements for the family’s visit over Memorial Day weekend I called the Harbour Inn Motel to reserve three rooms for our overnight on Whidbey. My choices in places to stay were limited by a) the number of rooms we wanted for one night and b) having the puppy dog with us on this adventure. But the Harbour Inn was happy to accommodate.
I was hoping the Inn would be a little more secluded in Freeland, but it was right off the main road across from a shopping center.
It really had everything we needed for a one-​nighter. Very large rooms — which was nice when I had «guests» over for some afternoon wine and watching «The Ladies» play hide and go seek. Comfy — and clean — beds. Grassy area so the kids could run Fergus ragged in the evening and before our ferry ride home the next morning.
The prices were reasonable as well. I paid the most (since I had the dog) and was under $ 140 with taxes. Not too bad for a holiday weekend.
I’m sure I would go back sometime if I had family in tow. .. but for a more romantic getaway I would choose one of the bed and breakfasts in the area.
