Orcas Hotel Reviews
Expedia verified reviews
5/5 Excellent
"A great little gem in Anacortes. The room was very clean and comfortable, front desk staff were welcoming and friendly, the property felt safe, and the breakfast felt substantial. Beyond that, the little touches were also appreciated - like the cookie jar in the lobby and the small selection of books in the hallway.
They are not a super quick walk to all the main restaurants, they are ~1.5 mi away (be it walking or driving) but there are restaurants around and a convenient market across the street which we appreciated having close by. "
"The hotel-Casino was really well done. Easy access, and all of the property was very clean and well maintained. I even say a guy out in the parking lot sweeping and picking up debris."

"Attendant during check-in was attentive and service minded. Clean room and grounds. We loved the room design. We were able to park our fully loaded truck in the grave outside of the regular parking. Clean grounds and easy to bring our dogs out. Love the outdoor fireplace, felt peaceful and overall had a good feeling and vibe of the place. "
"I had a great stay at this hotel! Everything appeared to be clean, the amenities worked (A/C, TV, coffee, etc). The bed was comfortable and the shampoo, body wash, and conditioner in the shower was nicer than anticipated. I would definitely stay here again."

"Nice size rooms and decor, comfortable, great multi head shower, curated native art and area history - everything pleasant. Housekeeping staff could be a little less militant in attitude. "

"Room was well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. The onsite toiletries were amazing and brought the feel of a spa into your room. The pool and jacuzzi area looked wonderful and I wish had time to use them. The grounds were beautiful and relaxing. As it is a bit away from the city center, it was very quiet yet not far to restaurants and stores. Friday Harbor is easily walkable. Staff were friendly and helpful."
