What guests think

At Anacortes Ship Harbor Inn, travelers often praise sweeping harbor scenery, peaceful grounds with wildlife, and a convenient location near the ferry, plus friendly staff and simple, comfortable rooms ideal for a restful stop before or after island trips.

Many describe tidy, often spacious rooms with balconies, kitchenettes or fireplaces. However, reviews also note inconsistent housekeeping and maintenance, dated touches, variable mattress comfort and noise from neighboring rooms or plumbing, and spotty in-room Wi-Fi. The included continental breakfast is basic with limited variety and can run low, and there is no on-site restaurant so most guests drive into town for meals. Expect a simple, scenic stay focused more on setting than on amenities.

Quaint property overlooking bay close to ferry. Very quiet and clean. Not a lot of amenities but very lovely especially for the price. Would have loved to stay there longer.

Proximity to the Ferry is a big plus if you are touring the islands. The hotel would have a monopoly if it had a cafe, restaurant or bar - its 4 miles into town and nothing else in the area. Big opportunity.

Excellent location for ferries to San Juan Islands. Property has ample parking and great views of the harbor and water. Property is a bit dated and needs updates. Breakfast minimal no hot options. Property was not far from restaurants to drive to and location was quiet and felt safe.

Stayed here one night in July 2025 as we had an early ferry to catch the next morning. The hotel is on beautiful grounds overlooking the bay. It was a nice sunny day so that may have helped our experience, but the view was amazing. We had a balcony , and we also used the common area patio with fireplace to enjoy a self-made cocktail to watch the sunset. Definitely give this place a shot, it's great.

Beautiful view of the water. Nice big room with comfy king bed, fridge and spa tub. Had to get the king suite for a pet. Breakfast average. Walkable/easy drive to the ferry. Front desk staff are fantastic! Helped make the room change on the phone, even though I booked through Expedia, and when there the front desk person came to the room to help with the fireplace, and the heat.

Big room, nice people. Very basic breakfast and no restaurants close by (you have to drive) so bring food! Super close to the ferry, they even offer for people to park at the inn for a small fee.

Unfortunately, my second separate 3 day stay within a week was once again marred by the room not cleaned properly. This time a dirty towel was left hanging on the back of the door in the bathroom. The two hide-a-bed chairs again had debris left from previous guests, seemingly numerous. Crumbs and food wrappers were under the chair cushions and one of them actually had a dog biscuit under it! Unacceptable! I told the housekeeper who seemed to push the blame off onto a different housekeeper, and asked her to clean the room. She said she would, but when we returned to our room again that night, it was still unclean. I complained to the front desk and the next day it was finally cleaned. I really enjoyed this property even though the furnishings are old, but it has a beautiful view and is convenient to my reason for visiting the area. However, the lack of cleanliness on my last two stayd makes me reluctant to stay there again.

The room was mostly clean but the toilet was not. There was no hair dryer, the coffee machine was gross and the breakfast was not good. Very overpriced for what they offer. The view was beautiful though.

The hotel is convenient to the ferry. That’s the positive. This hotel needs some updates. My review is specifically for room 45. It’s quite noisy - the pipes, the adjoining rooms, the heater recycles all night. The mattress is super uncomfortable. The curtains let in the outside hallway light and it’s impossible to get it dark in the room. I essentially didn’t sleep due to these factors.

I enjoyed the peacefulness and beauty of the property. There is a lovely view of the water from the rooms and plenty of outdoor spaces for sitting and watching the ferries come and go and for enjoying the local deer population. The only downside for me was that I couldn't get a wifi connection in my cabin, and I needed that for work. Management kindly tried to resolve the issue by moving me to a different room. Unfortunately, I faced the same situation in the second room. Both rooms were far from the lobby. Thankfully, I discovered that I was able to get a wifi connection in the breakfast room (open 7-10 AM) and in the outdoor seating area closest to the lobby.

We could not sleep at all and left early to head home since we could not sleep on our get away unfortunately… We could not get comfortable at all, even with the multiple pillows they provide :(

Room was not comfortable, Bed was too soft. So many lights on the property that the room never got dark, couldn't sit on the deck and watch the sunset over the bay due to the lights. We asked the staff about it and were informed they were on a timer but they came on at 5pm and stayed on all night. Because of the lights we couldn't get any ventilation. There is no air conditioning so the room was hot because of closing the curtains and bathroom door due to THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS! Breakfast was late and average. We were very disappointed.

We booked a pet friendly room through hotels.com. We were charged almost a full $100 more than the site quoted for the room. Upon arrival, there was no pet friendly room available for us. Further, we were told there is a $50 USD fee for pets, which the booking app made no mention of. The solution to our problem was a non pet friendly room but being charged a $75 USD fee instead of the $50 USD that we were already not aware of. Thankfully, we were able to get that extra $25 waved due to the size of our dog but it took multiple conversations with various staff members. Staff were pleasant but put all the blame on the booking site. We attempted to phone after our stay to address the higher charge than we were quoted however, this did not resolve anything. Disappointing lack of accountability. The hotel itself was cute but just ok and very overpriced even before we got overcharged. Overpriced, overcharged and underwhelmed.

Called again and got it okay but a bit of a hassle. No one around this morning to check out. Room a little tired. Breakfast had decent continental options. Overall, it was fine, but a little pricey for what you get.

We have stayed here many times. The rooms are always cold to start, which is logical to save electricity, so we immediately turn on the wall controller or fireplace or both as need may be. WiFi works well. Our rooms have always been very clean and neat and they are very accommodating. There have been Keurigs in every room where we have roomed. The personnel are always friendly. We generally aim for the upper rooms or king with a FP where we can have a dog. There has never been a time when the room smelled of pets. The breakfast is small and smaller in the middle winter but presented well and the breads are fresh. The area is one of the nicest in Anacortes with ample parking, lawns, and views of the ferry and the sound.
