    I had a charming stay with a comfy bed and a microwave, which made snacks easy! The cute orca theme was delightful, and the late check-in was handled perfectly. I'd definitely come back!

    homemade marmalade
    prime location
    no coffee

    Don't miss the homemade marmalade at Ernie's Cafe—it's pure magic on toast! Loved the comfy clean room and the prime location that made hopping into town a cinch.

    A little quirky when it comes to room size—definitely felt dated with thin sheets. Also, no coffee anywhere to be found, which was a bummer.

    I had a lovely stay at the Orca Inn! My room was small yet cozy, perfect after long days of exploring San Juan Island. The staff exuded friendliness and provided great local tips. A bit of noise from nearby rooms, but nothing that overshadowed my experience. Highly recommend for budget-friendly lodging!

    flat-screen tv

    Had an awesome time with my friends! We enjoyed hiking and boating, and it was always nice to come back to our clean room at the end of the day. The flat-screen TV was a great bonus for some downtime, and the staff was super friendly. Just know the place is basic but perfect for what we needed.

    One downside was the small rooms. we felt a bit cramped at times, especially after a long day out. Just something to keep in mind if you're traveling with friends.

    accommodating hosts
    outdated facility
    high price
    non-functional plug

    Rooms are spacious and clean, featuring unique layouts that depart from standard hotel designs. The hosts are incredibly accommodating, making you feel like family. However, the venue shows its age, needing updates like improved lighting and more modern outlets. While the location is convenient for walking to town, charging $179 a night feels steep for the overall experience.
