Auld Holland Inn

The Owner is a VERY RUDE lady. I would never recommend this business. At check in there was a bit of confusion with the room that had been Pre-​paid for andthe lady at the front desk (the owner) was Extremely Unprofessional as a business owner. So I left and will leave it at this, NEVER STAY AT THIS MOTEL

failed and didn’t send our reservation in and they were full. They keep a few emergency rooms for renting out. We were given a room with a jet tub at a discounted price. The man was very apologetic and quick to help us out. It’s a fun and funky place. Certainly a great novelty. Very comfy and we’d stay again if we come back through.

A wonderful cozy place to stay! Room was wonderful and all of the staff was very attentive and took intrest in our day and how our trip was going. Gave us great advice on places to eat ! All over WONDERFUL!

We stayed at this hotel for a week with my family. The staff at this hotel was very friendly, quick to accommodate, helpful, and knowledgable about local points of interest. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, A/​C worked great, location was easy to find, plenty of free parking, free wifi, reasonably priced, and came with all the basic amenities you’d expect. This is an older hotel with thematic Dutch charm, but if you are looking for a modern hotel room, this is not it. We arrived very late Friday night, and they didn’t have the room ready for us as specified even though I had called them to confirm 1 day before arrival; there was 2 local events that caused them to be completely booked that weekend. However, the staff worked hard to make things right: they ended up comping us an extra room for our two teens to stay in for the rest of the 5 nights, so my husband and I could have our own room. That made it much more comfortable for us – 2 adults plus 2 teens in 1 room IS rather cramped.
Thank you, Auld Holland Inn, for a very nice stay!

Had a really hard time finding lodging on the island during a boat race event but I am so glad the staff gave me updates on their room availability. The inn was very cute, clean and comfortable. You can tell the staff took care of the place even though it is a bit old. The bed was comfortable which was awesome because I worked loooong night shifts that time. Big thanks to the staff!

This is an older hotel, but I really enjoyed staying here, and the price and location were very reasonable. I would stay again. The staff was so nice and helpful, the room was clean and the parking was great!

Great place! When you come here you feel like family! The staff is so so nice and welcoming and warm. We had little rolly-​polly bugs or potato bugs on the floor, they were dead but I didn’t want to put my 11 month old on the floor. We called the front desk and within seconds the house keeper was there with a vacuum and re-​vacuumed the whole room. We had a queen bed and kitchenette and everything was clean and worked great! After our day out the staff really took an interest and ask how our day was and if they could see any pics! My baby pulled the picture off the wall I told the front desk the amusing story and did not seem at all worried about the picture.. they just laughed and enjoyed the story. I will definitely come back and stay again! Great place!!! Thanks again ladies!!!

Can’t say enough bad things about this place! To start with their website shows a price for a King suite to be $ 94 a night. but when we booked it they charged us $ 119. When we asked why we were charged that price they (very rudely) said because we booked it over the phone instead of on their website… WHAT? If I had known that, I would have booked it online! It doesn’t say anywhere on their website about the difference in prices. Then when we got to the hotel to check in the lady at the desk answered multiple calls while we were in the middle of checking in. instead of putting them on hold and finishing helping us she continued with very lengthy bookings over the phone with 3 different people! We got to our room which was somewhat cute but broken down. including a broken shutter at the window so people could see in our room. they had no ice machines or ice available so we had to go to the store to get a bag of ice… The jetted tub kept turning on and off (to save money I guess) but was very irritating! The next morning for breakfast (what they call a continental breakfast) consisted of childrens boxes of cereal and old pastry cut up into triangles… no fruit, no toast… nothing else! PLEASE people do not go here! You would be better off at Motel 6 for a lot less money!!!

We stayed there for our second anniversary this weekend. Have to say we were a bit thrown back when we entered the Honeymoon suite it is surely outdated with the curtains and the 20 year old murals on walls not to mention the yellow paint in corners to give it an antique look just made it look like people smoked in it for years. It was like grandma puked all over the place, fake flowers and all.
The jetted tub was so cool until we went to run it and the water was brown for a good 20 min and the tub was dirty we cleaned out ourselves.
When I told the lady at the front desk she apologized and credited us 30.00 off the bill.
It is a big room and with the lights dim and candles lit it was much nicer.
It is overpriced for being so out dated I imagine in its day it was amazing.
With a little love and attention it could be a great spot but as of now over priced and not as clean as it should be.

I stayed here in 406 (I think) and loved it. Price was good. Jetted tub, fridge, microwave. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. Charming and quiet too, and with a fireplace, even. I had a peek through to the Olympics as well — it was a clear day. I was there for the Oak Harbor marathon, and the hotel had little bags of stuff for the racers. Very accommodating and lots of recommendations and advice for places to eat and distances around the area and places to park during the race. I’ll definitely stay here again when I come back for some biking weekends this spring/​summer. It felt very secure, parking was easy and free.

When we moved to Oak Harbor, we drove in around 1am and stopped to eat at McDonalds. I was looking online for a local motel, as we would not be able to sign our lease & get our keys until the next day. Everything I found seemed high priced. I remembered seeing Auld Holland Inn when we drove in, so I googled it and called. Even at 2am, the lady answered, told me the price (which was much lower then anywhere in the area), and stayed up until we got there to check-​in.
Room was simple, but clean. Cable was provided. Continental breakfast was good.
I’ve had out of town guests stay there too.
Love it!

This place was probably quite the sight in the 60’s. «Looks just like a dutch village!» Now? Well, generally those «European themed» hotels are passé and are somewhat out of place.
Overall, it’s not as nice as a recently built chain hotel but you’re not expecting that in this price range. It’s a tolerable budget hotel.
Yes, it’s a bit dated (the pink accented tile and pink grout in the bathroom wasn’t my favorite) but it’s clean and you feel perfectly safe there.
Free Continental Breakfast!
Don’t bother. Unless of course you’ve got a hankerin’ for some bad coffee, a bowl of Wheaties and a small piece of supermarket danish. There are plenty of restaurants around, use some of the money you saved staying here and have a nice breakfast!

This place has charm and is affordable! Our room was large (#403) with a jetted tub! Check in was very easy and the staff were very friendly.
Note: I expected our room to be old and this place would be like a «cheap motel» from the other reviews, and I was happy to discover that this place was NOT like that. It has a dutch style and is older but it was more enjoyable than staying at the newer hotels in the area!

I was hesitant to book based on variety of reviews. We stayed in the windmill suite (honeymoon suite), which was large. Bathroom was clean, jetted tub was clean, bed was clean, nice towels, slept very well.
Obviously this is an older place, but it does have charm. We would stay here again. There is road noise, did not affect us.
The room could use some help in a couple of areas: refrigerator is broken inside door and does not cool well, needs to be set up on a table instead of the floor.
Needs a decent sitting chair instead of the old dirty looking chaise, I did not sit in it. The chair cushions in chairs at the table were dirty and needed replaced or cleaned, we covered them with towels. A general basic wipedown of the most used items in a room like cleaning of door knobs plus surrounding area and light switches would help.
This is not a five star hotel, but was overall fairly clean, good for the price and loved the jetted tub.

Great stay, quiet with the exception of traffic on the main road. Staff was friendly, breakfast was decent (cereal, muffins, juice, coffee). We stayed in the windmill. Nice and roomy. Furniture is a bit dated, but its kitchy and cute.

I came to this hotel after finding it on the internet. It was 9:30 at night. The Vacancy light was on. No one answered the door. I tried calling and no one answered the phone. Doesn’t seem like a good way to do business if you are in the business of giving people a place to sleep for the night. I don’t recommend this place because they are not reliable!

This inn also has a trailer park next door to it where I stayed during my reside in Oak Harbor.
The good: they offer a really good price for a weekly stay, seeing that I’m here in Washington to work in Skajit County for a few months.
The bad: they said we don’t have access to the pools, breakfast, or Internet they offer, it is for the nightly visitors only who stay at the actual inn! I felt like a step-​child and was a little bummed bcz since we stay longer, shouldn’t we be the ones to be taken care of? I mean, they get the most money out of us. Plus… if u pay for a trailer and decide to leave within that week (like I did) unlike a hotel/​motel place, u won’t get the balance back on the days u won’t be there.
The ugly: …this place is a true trailer park! Not a place for a city girl who enjoys the leisure of amenities and wifi. The place is old and creeks late at night. And it doesn’t seem like they give a lot of attention to it. Although they do have an on site laundry facility which was convenient.

From the outside this place looked okay. When I walked inside and looked around, at first it sort of creep me out. Everything was old and need to be updated. When I was getting ready for bed, as I remove the cover I found hair on the sheets! Makes me wonder if they change the sheets after each use. This was my second time or third time finding hair on my sheets in different Inns I stayed in!
If you’re a light sleeper this isn’t the place for you, because there’s a air force base right next to it and can be very loud.

This place was okay asides from the loud sound from the Navel Base nearby plus the vehicles from the main road in front of the Inn. I know most folks would think this was a run down hotel but I find it interesting and unique. I came into this place late after hours and had to ring the buzzer for service since the main building door was locked for the front desk. The person that was in charge for the night pleasantly answered the call and promptly came to the open the door to help me. I uploaded some pictures I hope you find them useful. They do have wifi but make sure you ask them for the key/​password or you won’t be able to log into their network. I wasn’t provided one and didn’t want to wake up the person in charge again. I just had to use my phone for internet that night which wasn’t a big deal.

It looked quaint from the outside.
However, looks can be deceiving. This inn really needs to be renovated.
Old and thread bare. Musty odor. Towels and bed linens need to be replaced. Mattresses on the beds were lumpy.
Fortunately for them, there isn’t much competition in Oak Harbor. Otherwise, I would think they would be out of business.
