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.
