Nice check in, clean room. Was only there one night and it was great! Was expecting outdated, but it was nice! Didn’t use the pool or anything. Maybe a little expensive for what it was, but there isn’t many other options. Ate at the In Place across the street for dinner and it was good! Mocha Motion for breakfast and coffee in the am!

A very nice stay for one evening during a vacation in the park. Staff is very nice. Comfortable king bed. Clean and comfortable. Very convenient to have laundry facilities onsite too. Conveniently located to trails and beaches.

Nice and clean, very spacious room, plenty of towels, coffee maker, frig and microwave. Forks is a very small town this hotel was within walking distance of most restaurants and shops. The beds could be more comfortable! They have the old style coil mattress’s so by the end of the fourth night my hip bones hurt other than that we had a nice stay.

$200 a night for a crappy room in a below-average motel.

The Forks Motel seemed to have good ratings on Priceline and Hotels.com. But these sites indicated that they had no rooms available through their websites, and suggested that a room might be available with a direct booking to the motel. Big mistake. I believe that the Forks Motel uses direct booking to get rid of their bad rooms at jacked-up rates. I was told that only a "Queen Economy" was available, but since I was driving while making the reservation, I thought I heard "Queen Deluxe" when they quoted $200 plus a night for the room. My bad. For $200 a night, I got a crappy room in a below-average motel. The room was very tiny, and reeked of mustiness. It looked like it had not been renovated since the 1970s. There was no refrigerator (because, of course, it was only a $200 "economy" room). There were signs throughout the room stating that they would impose a surcharge for damage, missing towels, etc. That any hotel would do so is no surprise, but to have such signs posted in the room announcing this policy was a red flag. This was especially concerning when I noticed the preexisting damaged lamp shade and various minor damage in the room. I was concerned that they would attempt to surcharge me for that damage, on the pretext that it did not exist prior to my checking in. The final straw was when I pulled back the bedcovers. The sheets were a little discolored, and I wondered when was the last time they changed the sheets. It did not feel safe or comfortable enough to spend the night here. I decided to check out about 1 hour after checking in. I asked for a refund, but of course, they refused. I actually stayed that night at another Hotel run by the same company, but located in Port Angeles. I had stayed there before and it was quite nice. And, yes, it was not priced at $200 plus per night. I left a message for the GM of the hotel chain to contact me to discuss the above, but I have yet to hear anything. Because the Forks Motel generally did have some good reviews, I can only conclude that they may have some substandard rooms that they reserve for the last-minute direct bookings, and can feel free to charge premium rates without fear of bad reviews on the big hotel sites. Because I question their ethics, I suggest that you avoid this place, but if you do decide to stay here, book only through the hotel sites (so that you can post appropriate reviews), and be sure not to pay premium prices for a below average motel.

Nice hotel at a decent price. Price was higher than what I normally pay. However, there is a limited amount of lodging available in this area. Room was good except for a little bit of a musty smell. Staff service was very good.
