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.

Exactly whatbwe expected. Older motel that was very clean and reasonable. A very good place to get a good nights sleep.

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) 😊
