Unhappy customer

The room was VERY small and the shower situation with the water was awful. There was no where to plug in my CPAP machine because the bed was against the wall in the middle of the room. Would NOT suggest getting the queen bed room. The bed was awful to sleep in also.

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

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.
