Ship Harbor Inn - Hotel in Anacortes - 5316 Ferry Terminal Rd, USA

Greatly improved from last stay here a year ago. Just a few things ..only decaf coffee with my coffee pot in the room. No light bulbs in one of the bedside lamps. Nice to have an ironing board, but an iron would have been nice too. Had to kill three spiders in the tub. Biggest complaint that I always have why no grab bars in the tub/ shower?? A towel rack is NOT a grab bar the tub floor is slippery when wet and soapy and I don't think the shower curtains will hold me up when I have to grab them while stepping into or out of the tub. |The room was clean, the bed comfortable the view great. Nice and quiet. Fridge and microwave adequate. TV was strange. it kept turning it's self on at night, hopefully no bored ghosts?? Didn't try the breakfast so not able to comment on it.

Beautiful place! Clean room w fridge/freezer. Laundry. Bed was comfy and nice linen/pillows.. I am a pillow gal. Came in late w no reservation and Dan at front desk was very accommodating. I bought a bottle of local wine and hey offered a real wine glass. Sat outside with the deer and watched the ferries come in. Breakfast was fine but I don’t eat much. Had coffee on the beautiful patio. Did laundry in clean efficient machines.. which are rare. Usually they are filthy and not maintained. Had to chase out a few bugs but that is normal for these areas. I have certainly seen worse in more expensive places. Long post but I think the previous posts are not reflective of my experience at all.. but I travel a fair bit, so I am more resilient than most people. Would ABSOLUTELY stay here again and recommend it!!

It's a nice hotel with a good view and the waffles are good. Only problem is that the back balcony on each room has an 8inch opening on top and bottom separating rooms. I could easily go under if I so choose. Lock your sliders folks.

The hotel was fine for the approx 9 hours we were there (most of which sleeping). The view was beautiful but the reception area was almost always closed and no one answered the phone. The rooms were definitely not clean, there was someone else’s hair in the shower & bathroom and the smell coming from the sink was disgusting. I showered with flip flops on just to be safe. The linens on the bed also felt kind of wet, not from humidity or something but like they took them out of the dryer too soon and just made up the bed to save time and they never fully dried. I definitely wouldn’t stay here again but I have seen hotels that were worse. I think it would fine if it were more affordable but they are obviously trying to take advantage of inflation and up charge for what is basically a motel. I’m honestly only giving 1 star because they do NOT deserve the 4 star rating they currently have.

We had a ground level room. The Jacuzzi was fithy. The patio door did not lock and the front door security chain was broken. The coffee maker still had a used pod still in it. Do they bother cleaning their rooms? The Continental breakfast was minimal at best. There were no glasses for orange juice or milk. We had to use coffee mugs. We paid over $250 for a Thursday. So disappointed in what we received or should I say, did not receive for the high price.

This hotel or whatever is only good because of its location to the ferry. The rooms are gross, BUGS EVERYWHERE and comforter not cleaned. There’s a horrible smell when you walk in, not sure if it’s ammonia but it smelt like piss. My sliding door was completely unlocked when we arrived which was odd, not to mention the chain lock on the front door doesn’t exist like there’s a chain but no way to connect it. The shower is confusing, it takes forever to get hot but takes forever to cool off as well. There’s a super steep hill just to get into the place and it’s super easy to miss. The parking lot or whatever is confusing they should add more signs. Also it’s not clear where check in is when you arrive it’s not labeled outside we found it but seeing a man through the window sitting by a register. Parking is close which is nice and you get to see deer which is cool but the coast isn’t as close as you might think to justify staying here. They get you because there one of the few places nearby that don’t require guests to stay 3 nights so your options are limited. Just be warned.

The person that works the desk at this hotel is the rudest person I have ever dealt with at a hotel. He charged us $50 for a pet fee and we don’t even own a pet! No pet ever entered the property and he refused to look at the cameras to verify this. He claimed he had photos but wouldn’t share them and then hung up on me. Totally unprofessional and rude. We had a large party and 4 rooms there total. Rooms were not even cleaned the 2 day and they claimed there were “pet hair fibers on the carpet.” The person in that room does not even own a pet. Horrible experience there- they are never in the office and often don’t answer the phone. *The comment from the Inn is not true. I said I would check to see if our nephew ever came over with his dog to pick up my sister from another unit and he did not. Show us a photo of the dog entering. You are such liars!!! Maybe if you didn’t hang up on me you would have heard that!. Show us the footage you claim to have!! I am a very reasonable person that would never lie about a $50 fee. Do you really need the money that bad to charge for something that didn’t happen? Wow. Keep doubling down dude.

Positive: waterfront view, bed was clean and comfortable, bathroom clean, shower worked well. Maintenance man did excellent work when he arrived. Negative: Too many things did not work on my arrival. Maintenance was not available until following day. TV did not work, bathroom outlet did not work and when fixed stopped working again, floors sticky in kitchen, gas oven didn't work
