Super clean and cozy. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfy. Plenty of parking. We’ll stay here again.

We thought we had a snafu with Expedia and the managers were on top of it right away to make sure our rooms were secured. They were so helpful and our stay was perfect.

My stay at the Orca Inn was perfect for what I needed. Being a solo traveler you don’t need a ton of space so these “micro rooms” were perfect. They had everything I needed including a fridge and a microwave. I loved how close to town it was. The rooms are outdated but very very clean at a fair price and staff are friendly.

Exactly as advertised. Prefect landing pad. Clean and convenient. Jess and staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Jess was amazing! If you want a budget place within walking distance to town, this is it! Has all the basics and even the Marketplace is right next door.

Great no-frills room a short walk from Friday Harbor with friendly and helpful staff. The beds could use a headboard though! A nice budget option on an island that tends to have expensive lodging.

You get what you pay for; the room was very basic but clean. They do use heavily scented cleaning products- beware if you’re sensitive. We had a king sized bed and it was VERY comfortable. The propert is just off the beaten path enough to be very quiet, we had a great nights sleep!

Staff on front desk were great. Helped us jump start our car. Small basic but clean rooms good for night stay in FH. Would definitely come back

Staff is amazing and friendly. Stored our bags before checkin and after checkout while we were cycling the island and they had a convenient bike rack for us to lock our bikes to. Rooms are small but clean and neat. Can’t beat the price.

Older place but was very clean and the bed was comfortable, which is all I needed. Excellent price for the area. I was overjoyed to find something in my budget and close to the ferry since I needed to book last minute and didn’t have a car. There is also a grocery store right next door that is cheaper than the ones on the main strip. The lady at check in was very nice and helpful with everything. Even though they don’t have “bell service” she let me store my luggage in a secure area after check out so I didn’t have to find a locker in town during my whale watch. Seemed like the place was getting some upgrades under the new management. I look forward to seeing them next time I come to Friday Harbor!

Decided to visit the island last- minute and my usual hotel didn't have any vacancies. Gave this place a try and I'm so glad I did! It's located in a quiet and safe part of the island, minutes away from the action at Friday Harbor. Our king room was clean, spacious and cool after a whole day of playing in the sun. Highly recommend this no-frills but high value inn!

Room for clean and close to all amenities. Little cozy but well maintained.

It was walking distance to Friday Harbor and very quiet. The staff was very friendly!!! I’ll definitely be staying here again.

Marcus • Couple Trip

The rooms are NY style, meaning they are small. But they were perfect for just the two of us, especially because we are shorter. The location was nice and away from things. Since we mainly used it just to sleep, this perfectly met our needs. Nice staff. Rooms were clean. Showers were hot. Each room had its own hot water, which was a nice feature.

I think the rooms are nicer than what the picture portrays, the pictures don’t do it justice. Room might be small, but has everything I’m looking for!

I was on the island for a funeral, not your usual touristy needs. The staff was incredibly kind and made sure I had everything I needed.
