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) 😊

Was good except for the showers. One the shower door magnets did not line up to keep the door closed. The other, there was no way you were getting a full hot shower if you are shampooing your hair and you have more than 3 hairs on your head. The water goes cold by the time you wash your hair. If they were serious about water conservation. They would have low flow showerheads so you could have a hot shower on the tiny amount of hot water in the tank.

Friendly Staff, great stay experience
The Orca Inn is truly one of the least expensive places to lodge on San Juan Island. I was greeted by the manager of the lodge -KJ; super courteous and helpful. The room, a single queen bed, non-smoking room, was clean and had everything we needed to rest comfortably after a wonderful day on that gorgeous island.

This is an older property but very clean and safe. Rooms are quite small and dated but served out needs as we were not in the room much. The price was great and the area was quiet. Would recommend this place if you just need a clean and quiet place to sleep

4/10 Fair

Stayed in queen size room. Super super small room with bed pushed up against the wall. The bed was THE worst bed i've slept on: hard and futon like. Only one electrical outlet worked...in the narrow walkway next to the bed. Would not stay in this room again.

Clean, comfortable but no frills
The hotel is basic and utilitarian so the price was great for the area. The rooms are oddly done. My room was two rooms converted into one. The beds were placed oddly about 4 feet from the wall so the air conditioning/heat was able to blow. The manager was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. My double queen room had its original two bathrooms and each bathroom has its own hot water heater. Great for the cost

Our room used to be 2 rooms made into 1. Barely room to walk around the beds. Floors were uneven and if you laid something on the vanity, chances were, it would roll off. Staff was very nice which is why I gave 3 stars instead of 2.

4 Very Small Stars
The rooms are... tiny. The savings, however, are humungous. Step back in time to 1976. Wood paneling, red formica counter. Room barely big enough for a queen bed. But it was comfortable, afforable, and we didnt spend any unnecessary time in the room, we'd rathwr be out enjoying Friday Harbor. Yes, they have the Orca costume on site, no you cant borrow it, we asked.

The staff were friendly and courteous. the room was totally clean. But the Room was so small only one of us could get out of bed at a time. And the one chair had to be moved constantly so you could get into the bathroom or the bedroom. And the bed was very uncomfortable. Because of this we won't stay at here again.

This a great little place. No frills, but extremely clean and functional. For a third of the price of "normal" hotels on the island, it is a steal. It was probably our favorite part of the trip.

Small room but it was overall a fair place to stay when all you need is a place to sleep. Friendly staff, clean room. No complaints.

Simple place. Bed is rather, very very firm but manageable. We just stayed for one night. Simple check in and out. AC worked great.
