This is a comfortable, beautiful property. Our room was so cozy, great bedding and pillows. We had our dog with us and we had treats and the most cozy dog bed we have ever used.
The New Leaf Cafe has delicious food and everything was wonderful for our stay.

Wow! Thank you Outlook Inn. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my room had been upgraded to an ocean view room. Thank you universe, Expedia and outlook staff. The gorgeous cozy room was perfect for my solo getaway. I enjoyed spending the mornings on my balcony taking in beautiful views, evenings enjoying the oversized soaking tub and cozying up by the fireplace to do art and read. Every staff member was lovely including restaurant staff.

Orcas Island carries a magic and Outlook Inn was the perfect home base for exploring all the Eastsound has to offer. Walkable autumnal Pacific Northwest getaway! I’ll be back!

Loved it!

Two different fairies were canceled on our way to the property. They very graciously gave us a free late checkout, and had us all taken care of so we could just go directly to the room. She answered my 50,000 questions with patients and good cheer, and they had really delicious muffins and free tea in the morning for us. We had our fur baby with us and they could not have taken better care of their doggy guest. There was a bed and blanket and towel and a fun little bag of treats for himIt’s a really cute little property with an amazing view, in a great little town, with lots of fun stuff to do. We really enjoyed every second of our time.

Not as advertised

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.

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 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.

Stayed in room 8 (room cost appx $500 for one night)
The good:
Friendly, professional host. The room had a great view of the bay. Complimentary grab and go sweet treats. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Great pre-visit auto texts about tips for the visit.
The bad:
Told upon arrival that there were private events in the hotel bar and restaurant and neither would be available to us as hotel guests. We were disappointed as we were looking forward to enjoying the restaurant/bar and small plate (supposed to be included in our stay).
When I sat on the corner of the bed near the foot, I nearly fell through to the floor as there was no support slats under the foam mattress corner. The host came up and fixed the slats on the lower corner. Later we found the slats on the upper half opposite side of the bed were not aligned and nearly fell through on that side. It was after hours so we had to fix it ourselves.
The TV and Chromecast didn't work. A rebooted Chromecast worked but no satellite tv reception. The toilet roll holder was covered in rust. The deck bench has metal things protruding on both sides of the seat making it very uncomfortable.
While I would recommend staying at this hotel, I wouldn’t recommend staying in this room until upgrades were made to make it worth the price. I would call the hotel to see if the restaurant & bar will be available to you during your visit. I originally shared this information with the hotel via text and never heard back.

Disappointed

Location and hotel restaurant were great. The room was average at best. The bed was way too soft, the lights were jarring and should have been on dimmers. The fan, which is connected to the light was so loud in the bathroom it sounded like a freight train. Half the time the toilet would not flush. Housekeeping did not leave clean cups. We were looking forward to a romantic stay but the condition of the room put a damper on that.

I was very excited to stay at this property. Check in: I had to sign and initial a standardized form that I wouldn't smoke nor trash the property. I don't smoke. I was given a comp for the restaraunt on the property. I had to come back to finish check in as employee was new. That was fine. The regular employee told me the restaraunt was booked for Happy hour through 8 pm. She told me if other places I could go instead of providing any customer service or display any hospitality planning intellect. $400 bad start to my vacation away from life stessors and work. Thanks. Trying to problem solve..... I asked other employees. I was able to sit at bar. There were at least 10 open tables? Wash your hands in between taking credit cards and peeling lemons and garnishing drinks with your bare hands. Thankfully I do. French onion soup was the worst I've ever had. The spoon I had to eat it on reminded me of the form letter I had to sign. Cheap. I took pictures of the room. No phone. The candied orange peel, vinagrette, and hot shower was only saving grace. The wait staff in restaraunt were very nice. Room was 63 degrees. Keep it at 70. Hire more staff.

There is no comfortable chair in the bedroom and the furniture looks like it belongs in a budget hotel room. There are no blackout shades. No amenities at all. Certainly no robe and slippers but not even small toiletries you would expect. I do not recommend this place

There is much good to say about this property! The view from the Bayfront suite is amazing, the staff fantastic, the lovely amenities like gourmet coffee, heated floors, plush robes and so much more was a continual treat and surprise. If I were to make any comment on what they could improve it would be to ditch the area carpet in front of the tv and by the side of the bed as they were stained. It would be so easy to replace with a carpet that was darker. But outside of that, we not only loved it but plan on coming back as soon as possible!
