Was good except for the showers. One the shower door magnets did not line up to keep the door closed. The other, there was no way you were getting a full hot shower if you are shampooing your hair and you have more than 3 hairs on your head. The water goes cold by the time you wash your hair. If they were serious about water conservation. They would have low flow showerheads so you could have a hot shower on the tiny amount of hot water in the tank.

Friendly Staff, great stay experience
The Orca Inn is truly one of the least expensive places to lodge on San Juan Island. I was greeted by the manager of the lodge -KJ; super courteous and helpful. The room, a single queen bed, non-smoking room, was clean and had everything we needed to rest comfortably after a wonderful day on that gorgeous island.

This is an older property but very clean and safe. Rooms are quite small and dated but served out needs as we were not in the room much. The price was great and the area was quiet. Would recommend this place if you just need a clean and quiet place to sleep

Room was extremely small so barely one person could walk around the bed and in the room. The walls were thin and other customers were loud from 4-5:30 AM. Sounded like they were in our room. it was previously a mobile unit in the wall structure. No electrical outlet coverings nor fire alarm. It had been removed. Very little hot water for one shower and certainly not for two.
