Yup: retro motor inn is who we are. In the Pacific Northwest, we grew up like this, staying in quirky, independent motels where you park your car just outside your boxy room, find your place along outside corridors and beg your mom for quarters to run the magic fingers bed. Well…all our beds are much newer than that (sorry magic fingers). In fact, we’ve blended in a bunch of cool modern features and design choices—that’s also who we are, after all—and we proudly preserved the utilitarian simplicity of a classic motor inn structure which defines the iconic independence of a quintessential Friday Harbor, San Juan Island vacation.
Some things we couldn’t change without losing the motel vibe. The rooms are still basically boxes. Our Friday Harbor motel heritage is obvious from the moment you drive up. Yet the earth, sea, sun and sky that inspire us to visit San Juan Island influenced an exciting reinvention of Friday Harbor’s motor inn that is also obvious, with a full-service onsite spa, complimentary beach cruiser bikes, modern interiors, free wifi everywhere, ipod-docking radios and beds so comfortable you’ll forget all about magic fingers. The result is a whole new gestalt: an unbelievably playful hybrid, an unexpected fusion of vintage and contemporary elements, a unique lodging experience to match San Juan Island’s unparalleled natural wonder and your taste for all things extraordinary. Earthbox is the same old thing, only much, much better….
