This property is always exceptionally clean and the staff is as friendly as could be. I love the double bed room with the two bathrooms. The single bed rooms are quite small but comfy and quiet and the location is excellent.

Nice ppl, the room is small but they tell you the size when you book! We had a great night in town, walked home & had a great night in our room also. Easy peasy. There is a lot to explore on SJI so you should only be in the room to shower sleep and make love lol it’s fine for all of those things.)

The Orca Inn is not a fancy place, but it's in a great location for access to the waterfront and downtown area of Friday Harbor. My room was sufficient for my needs, and I was able to walk to the restaurants and marina, which suited me just fine. This is an expensive place to visit, and The Orca Inn is a great value for the money,
