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.

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) 😊

Was good except for the showers. One the shower door magnets did not line up to keep the door closed. The other, there was no way you were getting a full hot shower if you are shampooing your hair and you have more than 3 hairs on your head. The water goes cold by the time you wash your hair. If they were serious about water conservation. They would have low flow showerheads so you could have a hot shower on the tiny amount of hot water in the tank.
