Overall Ratings & Reviews Outlook Inn on Orcas Island

Quaint and comfortable.

Loved the balcony and beautiful view. Hotel is need of some updates. We stayed in January, which was wet and cold, and were looking forward to using the hot tub. We were surprised to learn that the hotel didn’t have a hot tub as advertised but were told we could use the rec centers around the block. We walked in the dark and gold to be denied entrance due to not having a key fob, which the hotel was unable to provide. Frustrating experience and the gal at the front desk was aloof. Next time we’ll stay next door.

Great location, easy check-in and nice room.

The staff were so helpful. Brought us wine glasses and plates when we asked for them and left a special birthday gift for my husband. Coffee, tea, and muffins were available in the morning. Our room was nice and modern.

Amazing water views from our room, very rustic and charming.

The bed was amazingly comfortable

I had a wonderful stay at the Outlook Inn on Orcas Island. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Eastsound with beautiful views of the water and surrounding islands! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The New Leaf restaurant is a standout, offering some of the best food on the island -- definitely a must try for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Was our first visit to the island and we will definitely be back. The entire staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and the location was perfect. We were able to walk around to almost anything.

Noisy room, shower head was about to fall off, restaurant was overpriced, tv randomly turned off!

This is for the East Wing unit. The price was almost $400 a night, but the room felt like a reasonably maintained budget hotel. Smelled like plumbing with extremely loud bed creaking at every turn. Neighbor guests were quite but we could hear every gentle step they took in their room. The first floor rooms were facing the parking lot, and the windows were literally a step apart from the parked car. There was a better looking unit across the road and when I asked the staff about that room, she commented those rooms start at $900 a night.

The woman at checkin was not very accommodating. No early check in available and she was quite negative about a local tavern. In a town so small, she could have been more cheerful to offer options about multiple eateries without bashing one? All the local food was great!

The room didn’t have a view even though we were advised we would have one. Big tree blocked our view of the bay. And every time we called the front desk they never knew the answer. Especially for a small town. We asked for dinner recommendations and they were like I don’t know. Then they were like oh you can speak to our cafe and transferred us their cafe that was closed that day. Also. Our charger by our bedside table didn’t work and we called the front desk to tell them and they said we could come down and talked to the engineer if he was around. I figured they’d put in a note for the engineer to take a look at it but told us we had we had to find him and then initiate the conversation. It was quite comical actually.

It’s old and in need of repair and upkeep. It looks really nice, but very dirty. For the price you pay, there should not be dirty windows , dirty furniture and a dirty bathroom. Perhaps things were just old and needed to be replaced in the east wing.

Very hospitable and accommodating. Restaurant closed 2 days of our 3 day visit
