I wish I could remember their names - Erin and ?, but what's important is our vacation started out on another island and for a variety of reasons we were having not what one would call a relaxing fun vacation experience. We decided to try another island and made a few phone calls. As my partner started speaking with the... more

Well I have never written a review before, but was moved to do so. In all my life of traveling I have never come across such shabby a pair of managers. I assume they are new at it so I will cut them some slack. We own a hotel on the east coast so I speak from experience. This couple... more

Before booking our stay (last minute and couldn't find anything else), checked here and found ratings of either excellent or terrible and nothing in between - how can that be? First, expect that on the island, in the summer you need to expect a certain value for the price and not think it will be luxurious. That was our expectation... more

If this room had been $59.99, instead of $164, I would have been disappointed. We were in a first-floor room. The room above was occupied by two adults and a child. We could hear every step they took. Children take a lot of steps. The rooms are very old and in need of updated but they were clean. The staff... more

Maybe other folks enjoy staying at bland, corporate hotels & motels, but we like our places to have character - and that's exactly what Discovery Inn has, and that's why we've been repeat customers for almost 15 years now.

First of all, the positives - The staff are very friendly and welcoming and do whatever they can to make things pleasant. The setting is generally quiet and nice (although they were doing road construction in front while we were there). Parking is readily available and easy. The refrigerator is handy to have. Now, the negatives - The rooms and... more

If you like cookie cutter accommodations, or if you like paying more stay somewhere else.This Inn is welcoming. It sits on a beautiful park like setting, and is like no where else I have ever stayed. Beth and Jim got it right in all ways. I laugh at negative reviews, as you would have to look awful hard to find... more

Last year we enjoyed Orcas Island so this year decided to explore Friday Harbor and San Juan Island. Early in my search for places to stay I found the web site for The Discovery Inn. The impression I got was that it was a nice, quaint, out of the way place. We called and made reservations. Jim and Beth, the... more
