Ok for one night

It was fine for the price and for a quick one night stay solo. Check in was friendly. Bed was comfy and clean. Room was incredibly small. No coffee in the morning as promised.

Great stay at the Orca Inn!

Good stay. Rooms are clean with basic equipment. Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. The front office manager Laura was very nice and helpful during our stay. Will definitely stay there again in future.

A little antsy 😉

We’ve stayed here several times and are always very happy with the room. The only problem was we noticed that there were ants near the microwave and refrigerator. We also noticed that they were on the desk area. This was surprising because we have never seen them before. It won’t stop us from staying there again though or stop us from recommending it to anyone going to Friday Harbor because I am confident that they will see this review and take care of the problem. (Room 214) 😊
