Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is the first negative review I have submitted over three decades. I have spent over 20 years staying on Orcas consistently. We have stayed at a lot of nice places, as well as some that were fair. Of these lodgings, this by far does not parallel the photos and falls short at the very bottom of the list.
This unit it not to the level we expected. The fireplace glass is complete black and you can't see the flames, which takes several years to get to this point and exhibits the lack of care and oversight to fix problems. Additionally, there are large stains all over the carpet and tables that Super 8 or Motel 6 wouldn't tolerate. Further, the fridge barely works and we discovered all our meat thawed due to the freezer being broken. To add to our experience, there is no insulation between the downstairs suite, which we stayed in, and the upstairs suite. We had to experience the young swinger's romp late into the night past 2:00 am, as if we were in bed with them. Wish we would have brought earplugs.
The positive is the view from the back deck, which is beautiful. Unfortunately, we found out the suite deck is not private, as tenants from side units have access on the wrap around deck to walk to your back door to enjoy the view ... so the two chairs you think are for you actually become available for anyone in the complex. Very sad.
We will not stay here again and will spend an additional $100 a night to stay elsewhere.
