I am very picky with cleanliness of a hotel that I stay in and was very pleasantly surprised with this great hotel/motel. Friday Harbor doesn't have many choices for places to stay and originally didn't pick this place because of the terrible Tripadvisor reviews. Don't believe them! I loved the decor of the rooms - very simplistic! Very comfortable beds,... more

Just returned from two nights at Elements. We had two queens in a lower floor room #107. Hardwood floors were such a refreshing change! Removes that "cringe" factor when walking on the carpeting that is usually in the rooms. THANK YOU! Our room was very clean and the furnishings were new and updated. Our room had a coffee maker, fridge,... more

The idea of a hybrid is great, but Elements fell short in many areas. First, the night clerk was a bit surly with us upon check-in. When we asked for restaurant recommendations, he would not provide any until we told him exactly what we wanted eat (geez, there aren't that many restaurants on the island!), then got a bit of... more

My expectations of Elements Hotel before I arrived had see-sawed: It seemed to be one of the top three hotels on the island and the photos on the website made the rooms look appealing. But then I'd read a recent review describing it as an overpriced, former chain motel just painted over, and I knew exactly what that reviewer was... more

The Elements Hotel & Spa is a "Hybrid Hotel". It was originally a motel and has exterior doors and convenient parking in front of your room. It is located on Spring Street and very convenient to the harbor, shopping and restaurnats. The grounds have some tables with unbrellas and some chairs. The rooms have been completely remodeled with modern furniture... more

Simply put, everything we needed for our vacation with our grandson was here at The Elements. Large room with a full kitchen gave us flexiblity on when to eat. Room well appointed. Central location allowed us to walk all over Friday Harbor, very accommodating staff, nice morning coffee bar away from the room. Wireless availability. If we needed something, the... more

We just returned from our second stay at Elements and I decided it was time for a review. My husband and I both LOVE this hotel/motel so much. The rooms are just like they are in the pictures - at least the Sky/Water that we have stayed in. We were there in 80 degree weather - but the room never... more

Very nice room (no ac as mentioned by others), nice pool, excellent location convenient to town and ferry, but I agree it's overpriced for what you get. more

We stayed at the Friday Harbor Elements for our 44th wedding anniversary using the Victoria Clipper one nite package. We found the young people at the front desk to be courteous and friendly and very accomodating. Our room was VERY nice and clean, just what we needed.. The immenities were wonderful also. My husband became ill before our ferry ride... more

This hotel is overpiced for what you get. We spent over $200 a night - but didn't have any AC in our room. The front desk told us to open the windows (the windows are accessible to people on the outside of the room who are walking by). It was very hot in our room - even hotter than it... more
