Feel like staying in a big cargo container. Good for one or two nights.

Can't be beat - it's quiet enough if you have the fan running, clean, and cheap relative to all the other motels on the island with comfy enough beds that you can sleep well before you go on an overnight sea kayaking adventure.

Great value stay and within walking distance to Friday Harbor downtown area. The staff were friendly and helpful. Clean room and despite being small, it is exactly as advertised.

Room was relatively small and minimalistic, but very well maintained. You could tell that they take pride in the display and care of their rooms when their guests arrive. Check-in and check-out were super easy and friendly. There was plenty of parking and the location was very walkable. Next time I find myself in Friday Harbor, I will definitely look into staying here again!

The Orca Inn was definitely a Budget option, but it was perfectly adequate. The room was small, but clean. I would say it was a “no frills” accommodation, but it was convenient to town and a fantastic bakery (Bakery San Juan) nesrby. If all you need is a clean place with a comfortable bed, this is a great option. But don’t expect more.

The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and the air conditioner was perfect as a white noise generator as well as room cooler. Building 2 has the quietest rooms.

Jess was very helpful and kind. She changed our rooms so my friend and I could be next to each other instead of in different buildings. Excellent service. Thank you!

Despite being an older property, the room was well maintained and clean. The room was very small, but we expected that based on other reviews and the size wasn’t an issue for our two night stay. The property is also just a 3 minute drive from town. Good for a quick getaway!

We enjoyed our stay here. The place is only a few minutes walk to Friday Harbor and close to Roche Harbor on the north side of the island. Although they didn’t serve breakfast, they had coffee available in the office plus across the street is Bakery San Juan which serves great meals.

This hotel has tiny rooms just as advertised. They were perfect for those of us who spend most of our day exploring and having fun! At night we felt safe and secure and very comfortable!

Great no-frills room a short walk from Friday Harbor with friendly and helpful staff. The beds could use a headboard though! A nice budget option on an island that tends to have expensive lodging.

10/10 Exceptional

My stay at the Orca Inn was perfect for what I needed. Being a solo traveler you don’t need a ton of space so these “micro rooms” were perfect. They had everything I needed including a fridge and a microwave. I loved how close to town it was. The rooms are outdated but very very clean at a fair price and staff are friendly.

Room is small, but was aware of that prior to making the reservation. Affordable and convenient to walking into town. Very clean accommodations. Just wish there was a coffee maker in the room.
