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!

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 great stay at this inn during my solo trip to friday harbor. the location was perfect, just a short walk to town, and the room was clean and cozy. it exceeded my expectations for a budget stay with nice amenities like a mini fridge and friendly staff.

the shower had limited hot water.

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!

Cheap and clean spot with friendly staff. Tiny room felt cramped after a long day, especially for two.

i recently stayed here for a night and it totally exceeded my expectations. the room was small but very clean and cozy, perfect for my needs after exploring the island. the staff was super friendly and provided great tips on local dining options.

the shower had limited hot water.

great budget-friendly stay near parks and the waterfront

staying here was a delight, with the incredibly helpful staff providing a list of local dining options and the hotel's cozy feel making it a perfect overnight retreat before exploring the charming streets of Friday Harbor, just a short walk away from stunning spots like the San Juan Islands Museum of Art and the Whale Museum.

The place was clean and cozy. My room had a fridge and microwave, which was convenient. Staff provided excellent local dining tips. It’s a short walk to town. Overall great value for a budget stay! 😊

comfort in simplicity at orca inn

a truly budget-friendly stay with amazing beds; the outdoor dining area was a lovely touch for enjoying the fresh air after cycling around the island.

my stay exceeded expectations, just like my previous visit to friday harbor. the orca inn was cozy and perfectly located, making it easy to explore the area. staff were friendly and the room was clean, providing everything needed for a great group getaway.

limited hot water during showers

Clean room with limited hot water during my stay.

Clean, cozy room with a fridge and microwave. The space felt cramped. Limited hot water for showers. Great location near a grocery store and a quick walk to downtown.

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.

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.
