Great Stay
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property is always exceptionally clean and the staff is as friendly as could be. I love the double bed room with the two bathrooms. The single bed rooms are quite small but comfy and quiet and the location is excellent.
Amy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It is a nice quiet place to stay. The rooms are very small, but clean. The staff was friendly and helpful, and there was ample parking. It's just a five minute walk from downtown Friday Harbor.

10/10 Excellent

Nice ppl, the room is small but they tell you the size when you book! We had a great night in town, walked home & had a great night in our room also. Easy peasy. There is a lot to explore on SJI so you should only be in the room to shower sleep and make love lol it’s fine for all of those things.)
Casie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Small but perfect if all you need is a place to sleep near the main area!
Lauren, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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,
Beth, 4-night trip

Had to go here because our main room wasn’t ready they were willing to put us up. Very friendly and helpful
JAIME, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Sarah, 3-night trip

One night on Friday Harbor

The accommodations were adequate for my one night business stay. I would stay here again. Taking in sunset from Line Kiln State Park was the highlight.
Heidi, 1-night trip

The refrigerator cycled constantly through the night walking me up every time.
