The Orca Inn is not a fancy place, but it's in a great location for access to the waterfront and downtown area of Friday Harbor. My room was sufficient for my needs, and I was able to walk to the restaurants and marina, which suited me just fine. This is an expensive place to visit, and The Orca Inn is a great value for the money,

This hotel was literally half the price of any others that I looked at. I was traveling alone, so a small room worked just fine. Fridge and microwave in the room. It's about a ten minute walk from the harbor and has plenty of parking. The staff are all SO nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

The Inn served our needs since we stayed only from 4pm - 9pm. We needed an affordable place to rest and shower before boarding the late ferry to Anacortes. What we do recommend that the shower water pressure is increased. The shower was a trickle, but still hot.

Very clean small hotel, nice lady at the front desk who cared enough to call us on the day of arrival. The premises are clean, and “retro” can’t even call this place “old” because everything feels very clean - spotless shower, like CLEAN 😃 Walkable distance to downtown,

Pros: It was easy to check into. The room was very clean. It had nice hot water. The person at the front desk was friendly. It is reasonably priced. It is centrally located. Cons: The room is small. Not much space to bend over and shave your legs in the shower. The bed seemed smaller than a queen. Cozy for two people. There is definitely not enough insulation between the rooms. Our neighbors woke us up a few times with things we didn't want to hear. Overall it was fine. The biggest negative was hearing our neighbors.

This is a good place for the price. Staff were amazing and the history behind it was great to hear. Rooms were so small. I mean so small my husband and I were dancing around each other to use the bathroom out get our things. We didn't mind because we only needed it to sleep in. There is so much to do around the island. Noise traveled.. I heard people entering the halls from the other side. Woke us up. The beds were uncomfortable and noisy. Couldn't even adjust without squeaking and walking up my partner. Considering this was the only time we were in the room, it left a poor experience in our memory.

Small clean room. The room was cleaned for us during our stay which is usually only done at high end motels/hotels. This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to Friday Harbor and aren’t planning on spending a lot of time in your room. We would rather splurge on good food and experiences and save on our room
