Lopez Islander Resort

8/10 Good
"The perfect marina stay on Lopez. Excellent location. Charming outside seating areas and restaurant. The room was nicely outfitted and the deck had a wonderful West-facing marina and sunset view. A great place for an island stay."

Deer Harbor Inn

Deer Harbor Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Our ferry was super late and it was the last one of the night. We were not sure what to expect when we arrived, since there is no front desk and check in was supposed to end at 11 p.m. and it was way past that time. And it was very dark. Unfortunately, we probably made way more noise than we should have because it’s gravel everywhere and we did a loop around all the cute cottages before we realized we were in the main house where we first turned in. The room was charming and the beds were comfortable. We had our coffees in the morning, checked our phones, and then it was time to leave because checkout time was at 10 a.m. Another guest told us we had missed good music at the restaurant on property, called Matthew’s Smokehouse. We’ll have to go back, especially now that we know what to expect."

"Room was clean and arranged very neatly. Bathrobes/slippers were nicely placed on the bed with real flowers on the lampstand. Bed was comfortable, but I wish the pillows were a bit more firm. AC unit had difficulty maintaining set temperatures, but room temperature was fine overall."

Bird Rock Hotel

Bird Rock Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very cute old hotel 2 blocks from ferry. No AC in our room but we didn’t need it with open windows and ceiling fan! Having no staff there wasn’t a problem and they have dishes and a microwave in the lobby for making oatmeal or heating up leftovers. They set out lemonade and cookies in the afternoon. The only thing that I would suggest thats missing to have in the lobby would be a water cooler/filter refillable station. PARKING: We parked for the day up about 2 blocks in the 10 hr lot, then around 4 or 5, we’d bring it back down to street parking in the evening and in the am, take the car back to the free 10 hr lot not far away."

"We stayed in the Middleton Suite. It was larger than we expected and included a well-appointed kitchen and dining area. The gas woodstove in the sitting area was a nice touch and warmed us on a chilly morning. Overall, very comfortable for an overnight stay!"
