The Orca Inn is a basic lodging option in an expensive area. It's a great place to get a good night's sleep for a good price.

The staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. Definitely the cheapest place to stay on San Juan Island but it is clean and quiet.

The office manager and staff were super helpful and friendly when we had a last minute booking request. The rooms are small but clean and quiet and all we needed while visiting the island for whale watching, shopping, and outdoor adventures.

The place is exactly as advertised. Nothing fancy or flashy, bare bone rooms. But everything is clean and functional. A great place to crash with absolutely 0 frills. Staff is friendly and helpful, area is seems super safe and walkable from the harbour.

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.
