Top Whale Museum Hotel Reviews

Earthbox Inn & Spa

2/10 Terrible

"I arrived late due to the ferry being behind schedule, so it was dark. I could not see the room numbers or even locate the building because they were not well illuminated. The instructions were not helpful from the hotel via email. There was no one on staff at the hotel to help me. Front desk was closed. Parking lot was narrow/full/dark. I found the room by going back to the front and parking then walking. Once I found the room and a parking spot. I had to walk back to my truck/drive to the room. I was so tired and it was late so I did not get to use any of the amenities which was disappointing since this is why I chose this hotel. On the positive side, room was nice with a deck overlooking the woods. Best of all, the bed was so comfortable with quality linens and pillows. Just prepare in case you also arrive after dark. I hope this helps someone to have a lovely experience."

The Orca Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are NY style, meaning they are small. But they were perfect for just the two of us, especially because we are shorter. The location was nice and away from things. Since we mainly used it just to sleep, this perfectly met our needs. Nice staff. Rooms were clean. Showers were hot. Each room had its own hot water, which was a nice feature."

Friday Harbor Grand B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This place is class on every level…from the room cleanliness, to fresh baked cookies in the evening, to the delicious breakfast, to the informative host. But what sets it above all others is the evening’s piano event which should not be missed. We had a 3 night stay and we hope to return."
