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.

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.

Beautiful property. Great dining. Great location. Unfortunately I had an incredibly noisy family above my room. The noise transfer was terrible. Also, water poured through the ceiling light fixture from the room above.

Property is in great location in a walkable shopping and dining area on Orcas Island with an incredible view!

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.

Nice place to stay with lovely historic charm. Convenient to shops and dinning. Great views! Only thing was the night was not quiet. Someone pulled the fire alarm which caused quite a stir! Was unfortunately not restful.
Would recommend overall!
4.0
The water view was great and the extended outside sitting area across the street was excellent. However, the room itself (#8) was substandard for a nice quality hotel (more like a budget accommodation). It was expensive and disappointing.
3.0
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.

For $300 a night we we were looking out at cars in the parking lot on the ground level and had to close our curtains for privacy. The room was also on the back wall with stairs and lots of noise.
The view from the restaurant was fantastic, but the room was not worth the price!

The room was beautiful and the staff was lovely when we had any questions. Also the restaurant in the Inn was wonderful for brunch!

The room was well appointed, but was hot when we arrived because the curtains had been left open and the sun heated up the room. Also, our room had ants. Breakfast was really good.

This is our first stay at the Outlook Inn and it was amazing. We had stayed at Sister properties at Friday Harbor and Salish in Snohomish and found them all to be equally great. There are other properties as well that we will be trying in the future. We can recommend Outlook Inn without hesitation.

It’s a really quaint, beautiful place to stay. The views are fantastic, the new Scandinavian decor is lovely, and the staff is really kind and friendly. I’d love to go back when the season is warm.

Wonderfully quiet place to relax
2.0
Definitely not a place I would stay again. To begin with the bathroom is very old and only has a toilet and shower which are small. The sink is in the bedroom. 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

convenient to all of the restaurants, bookstore and shops.
A small beautiful garden and chapel is hidden behind this property!

Clean, with lovely view of the water. Easy walk to little town.
Don't wait to eat until late, as there are a few restaurants, and they can close early.

Rare gem on a gem of an island. Beautiful views, quiet, comfortable within walking distance to all shops and restaurants. Highly recommend.

The Outlook in was a fabulous hotel. Our water view king suite was clean, comfortable, and very spacious. Th small balcony with a view of the sound made for lovely evenings. Parking is very easy and the village of Eastsound is right there. We loved our stay and can't wait to return!

Beautiful property and rooms. We had the harbor view with a fireplace and balcony. Soaking tub. Nice little kitchenette.
Contactless check in. Lots of dining options.
8.0
The stay overall was pleasant. We stayed in the suites on the water the first night which has surreal views and a spacious interior. We had to switch to a normal room on the second night which was less than ideal. The staff was understanding and did give us a normal room with a balcony. The hotel is in a great location and has a wonderful restaurant. Recommend staying here. And if you can get a room on the water.

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!
5.0
I really appreciated how communicative the staff were about room details and check in/out. The room was clean and comfortable and stocked with plenty of coffee. The location can’t be beat. Even though the basic rooms don’t have a view, they’re mere steps away from a stunning view of Eastsound and an easy spot to walk around the town. Highly recommend hiking Mt. Constitution.

The closeness to the water and the little town. It's a do-over for sure.

Amazing property with great views. A pleasant surprise!

Was very impressed that it came with heated towel rack and creamers for the coffee with all the choices to choose from. Also the balcony with a view of the cove was beautiful as was the flower garden out behind the hotel. Extremely well kept. Didn't get a chance to meet any staff but I'm guessing they are all very pleasant.
8.0
The location is at a bay side of the island and very convenient with restaurants around. The room is very clean, but the size is small without room service, maybe because of Covid-19. However, it is a bit over priced.

Location is excellent, can walk to shops/dining. Restaurant food was great and the staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms was quiet and spacious. Only downside (very small) was having to carry luggage up and down stairs.
