Basic but clean motel type rooms by Alexander G. at InsiderPages

We stayed here when we accidentally got stuck on the island. Someone told us that place had rooms for about $30/night. The next cheapest available room was $190/night suite at another hotel, so we decided to give Orca Inn a try. The building looked a little funny outside, almost like a big trailer. The front desk was a tiny 5x5 room. They did open for us (it as around 10pm), and told us that while they don't have any $30 rooms, they would give us a room for about $50. It was large, with two double beds and two showers/bathrooms. It was big enough for me, my wife, and my mother-in-law to stay there (although the mother-in-law hated it). I thought it was basic but clean and well-maintained. The walls had wood panelling. The bathrooms were basic but clean. I am not sure I would've booked that place in advance (unless I was really on a budget), but I would stay again if I couldn't find anything else for comparable price. We didn't have any problems during our stay.
PROS: Very inexpensive, available even on a busy weekend, clean
CONS: Very basic, almost a trailer looking building, and a very basic room.
