The Good, The Bad and the Ugly The Good: The towels and…read moresheets were clean. The Bad: On the first night of your 3-night stay, we reported that the bathroom floor was sticky and requested that it be mopped. We were told that it would be done the next day since housekeeping had gone for the day. The next day when we returned to the hotel, the floor was still sticky. We reported it again and were told that it would be reported to the manager and they would get back to us. The Ugly: We never heard back from management. We put our service request tag out and not only did the bathroom not get mopped again, but we also did not receive any clean towels or other cleanup. So, we arrived to a sticky bathroom floor and left with the same sticky bathroom floor. We will not be staying at Auld Holland on our next trip to Whidbey Island and we will not be recommending it to others.

‼‼LOOK AT THE REVIEWS BEFORE YOU BOOK‼‼…read more I'm rating this a 2 star because I liked the service at the front office...aside from that definitely a 1 star For starters my bf went to used the restroom and the first thing we noticed was that the bathroom had pieces of toilet paper on the floor and dirt. We didn't think too much into it but still thought it was a red flag because the front office told us our room and ready which you'd assume means clean. we then noticed that you HAVE to have the heater on in the cabin or you'll freeze. We closed the bathroom door for obvious reasons and the bathroom is always freezing because the heat won't reach the bathroom. We left to hang out with friends and I wanted to hop in the shower so I turned on the shower while I got my clothes ready once I was done doing that I opened the shower door to notice that the drain wasn't draining the water I hopped in anyways because I needed to shower. Mid way to the shower the water drains completely good for us but then I notice there is soap residue on the shower wall and completely grossed me out so I tried to hurry up only to realize that the water was getting cold didn't even get to condition my hair unfortunately. Fast forward to the present we wake up wanting coffee so I go and look in the basket only to find a blonde hair in the basket next to the loose straws...I move the hair and everything is chillen until I go to put water in the kureeg...there's a hair in the kureeg where the water goes..I took that hair out I was honestly fed up and forgot to take a picture. I let just water heat up within the kureeg to take out any dirt. I went online to see yelp reviews on this place and one of the reviews I saw said to look under the bed because they don't vacuum so I did and surprise surprise there's dirt, a metal wire, and some pink thing...yay...

There's a little pier nearby where people are seen fishing and crabbing, and you can see the ferry arriving and departing. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean with great water pressure in the shower. The room I had offered a partial view of the waterfront and had a cozy gas fireplace. There is also free covered and uncovered parking. BUT I'm also rating the food! There is a complimentary hot breakfast offered with breakfast burritos (and of course salsa, avocado, and hot sauce), scrambled egg, breakfast strata, sausage/bacon, and potatoes. Of course, no breakfast is complete without a waffle maker with both standard batter and a rotating flavored batter. There's also yogurt, breakfast cereal, milk, juice, coffee and tea. There is a huge selection so there's something in it for everyone! And the views are just amazing just from the dining area. I would stay here again!

It's the little things that make a place special. So, I want to share the little things that made…read moreour Camano Island Inn stay memorable. First, and most importantly, innkeepers Charlene and Beth were absolutely stellar. Friendly and helpful at every turn. Glad they were there to greet us when we arrived ahead of schedule and give us guidance about where to go until our room was ready. Our room was very comfortable. Nice cozy bed and great bath towels; a very important detial that is often that's overlooked. The inside common areas of the inn were very nice. Well-appointed community kitchen. We had a king room with a large deck. The view from our deck across the Saratoga Passage included unostructed views of Whidbey Ialand. When the sky was clear, the view included an incredible sunset, crescent moon, and the comings and goings of bats which we just loved. The inn is centrally located to nearby parks and access to the island's amazing food offerings including Cama Beach Cafe, Blue Heron, Vivo, The Baked Cafe (recommended by Charlene), and more. Nearby, we also enjoyed a wonderful tour of Matzke Gallery and Sculpture Garden, and shared time with the owner, Karla Matzke. If you prefer, you can prepare meals in the kitchen. Understand, this is more like an AirB&B. You will be provided with a numeric key for the front door and your room. Staff is available on a somewhat limited basis. Coffee is provided in the lobby, but you may need to make more as needed. The reason I have left this as a four-star review is that there were a few issues with the property. I reached out the manager and she "promised" these matters would be addressed. It's unlikely we'll get back there anytime soon and hope she will keep her word. Yes, it is the little things!

I will start by saying I was very let down by this location. I booked this through my Delta stays…read moreand expected it to be more on the up and up. When I first arrived it was like a ghost town, there was no other car anywhere around . When First arriving I looked around the grounds and overall it looked pretty but was not kept up at all, tons of potential for the gardens and I could easily have those grounds looking amazing in a matter of a couple of days and very little cost. Now its time to go inside, the front door entrance is manned by a digital smart lock to get in. There are no employees inside either, empty desk sitting by the door thats small, over to the left a small coffee pot and a water kettle and then a room with what looks like for the Bistro that also has apparently been closed for a long time and breakfast was something mentioned. The inside is very pretty but very dated. A friend of mine found some history about the place they also do not like to add to their site and they should since some would love it. Apparently the place is supposed to be haunted, a long time ago it says it was a nursing home and other things. I joked that my room or my toothbrush was haunted the first night but thats a story for another time. Going past the office area there is what looks like once was a bar for people to come and have a drink and hangout, it just had bottles of water on the bar. To the right there is a room with a couch, some chairs and a fireplace I did not see turned on once or a way to turn it on easily. Got to my room next which was number 2 and straight in from the front entrance pretty much. The rooms are also on a smart lock and they text you these codes way ahead of time, I sure hope they randomize them too after stays. I go into the room and its smaller than I was expecting but thats fine, to the left we have a closet with a couple of the roughest robes I ever decided to try on, they feel like a cheap towell and same type of material. The bathroom is right after that closet and the bathroom is not too horrible but also a bit dated, they could not even match the light bulbs. The shower looked like it could use a good cleaning including the showerhead with a lot of scale buildup. The mirror had chips in it and sharp edges being a bit unsafe for those not paying attention. Now into the room itself, there was an antique style dresser that was not antique, you can see the wood warping on the top from moisture as well. On that there is one of the smallest tv's ever with old resolution. The bed was not the most comfortable nor the bedding itself. On the patio is a hot tub thats a bit smaller than I expected it to be. The hedges are way overgrown and also limit some of the view, I seen from old comments this has been an issue for a while they fail to address. The fixtures have old style dim bulbs in them.The room had no fridge, no microwave, no coffee pot etc. You have to go out to the office area and brew a pot yourself since they also do not brew any coffee for the guest it appears in the mornings either, still no employees found during the morning hours. The curtains for the sliding door were falling apart and you could not easily close them nor have full privacy. The sliding door does not even lock, they have a piece of flimsy wood for it. The 2nd night there were complaints of rooms out of power, found the father of the owner showing up at the same time and was asking me if I had power. The internet was also down the entire time while cell phone coverage being extremely limited so I had to drive to town just to be able to load anything and I had a lot to get done. I will say this hotel is a waste of money, this is one hotel or inn I will not return to, even budget motels offer more. Looking at some of the reviews here and I see some of these issues has been around for more than a couple of years and the owners have not addressed a single one of them. How they remain in business is beyond me, maybe due to the travel sites still listing it as more.

The living space is comfy with an oversized couch two comfortable chairs and a perfectly sized dining noon table with room for four. There is also a queen size bed and a full bathroom also with shower. The views are spectacular over looking the Saratoga passage while off in the distance lurk the Cascade mountains. We were so lucky to have experienced both moon and sun rises each day during our stay!! The frolicking seals, numerous water foul and two crotchety herons welcomed us with all their natural glory!! The check in process was easy and couldn't have been more convenient!! We arrived late and entered our room with our issue. We were greeted with some delicious treats, cookies, gummies, trail mix and pop corners!! Such a lovely welcome surprise. There were fresh cut flowers and plenty of warm blankets to enjoy a lovely evening or morning sit in the nicely decorated deck outside. Couple of hot tips for those with an EV. Be sure to have the "Blink" app on your phone as there are 2 charges within walking distance through town. We waited till around 11:00pm when the chargers were vacant. We parked and charged the car as we slept. Grabbing the car around 5:30am when the charge ended. 7.6kw charges. Not fast but in this scenario worked very well for us. $17.00 bucks and the tank was full for another day of island exploration!!

This maybe be an available space for additional guests for events/retreats who would like a lower cost option or hostel like shared space. There is a theater room, living room with large chess set and a game room. The upstairs has many specialty rooms as well as a ball room. The balconies alone are elegant. The base floor has a kitchen, study, multiple rooms, walk in closets, large communal space and the dining room The decor is fairly what you would expect of a castle on the upper floors, and the basement is definitely more of a hostel/vacation rental vibe. what would I change? I would make all of the spaces be as luxurious decorated as the other floors to match. That way all guest get the castle experience. Maybe put extra work into landscaping. Otherwise it is really a lovely space for events and vacations.
