“We loved our stay at the Orca inn and had so much fun at Friday Harbor! It's not the fanciest place but has a great location easily walkable downtown, all you need in a room (AC, Fridge, Microwave) and the cleaning staff was very attentive. Most places in Friday Harbor that we looked were listed at hundreds more, it was refreshing to be able to find a place to stay at a reasonable price and not have to shell out a ton for a little weekend getaway. Would recommend staying at the Orca Inn and we……
“Well appointed and friendly hotel. Conveniently located, minutes from the main commercial area of Friday Harbor. Alexis (owner) is very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended.”
“Tucker House offers a quaint, cozy "cottage in the woods" vibe, but the high rates didn't match the experience. We stayed during a busy wedding weekend, and the staff seemed short-fused and unhelpful when we asked basic questions or tried to navigate the confusing cottage and parking layout.
Service was unreliable. We requested early breakfast for two mornings, but only received it once (and during their standard 8–9 AM window instead). While the room looked clean at first glance, we found dust……

Breakfast was delightfully tasty and home-cooked by the host, and his recommendations for local restaurants were impeccable. Of course the destination (Friday Harbor) is a no-brainer, but our accommodations were the icing on the cake. My wife and I will……
“I rarely leave negative reviews, but I was very disappointed with our stay at Saturn Return.
We paid nearly $400 per night after fees for a two-night stay and were very disappointed.
The biggest issue was that the listing described the room as having an ensuite bathroom, but we were only informed the day of our arrival that the bathroom was actually located in the hallway, not an ensuite. The room we received also did not match the photos. Instead of the larger loft room shown, we were given a……
