Beautiful setting, of course--it's a national park. But the facility is a dump, having no relation between the exorbitant price charged and value received. Our "Lakeside Cabin" did not have a view of the lake (some do--but not ours). It was basically a camping cabin with a resort spa price tag. The room was dark and dingy. Bed linens were soiled. The central lodge building itself was ok--pretty views of the lake and good food/service. At this price, better to stay outside the park--- or go to another park lodge facility (Quinault is far superior).

Excellent location, right on the lake. The proximity to the dining hall was really nice too. The room itself was kind of dated (with the bathroom seemingly last remodeled during the Lyndon Johnson administration), but the room was overall fine. The main benefit to staying here is the access to the wonderful lake.

Pros: Marymere rooms were nice, along the lake, beautiful lake. great drinks, friendly bartenders & servers who work their butts off! Cons: Limited seating for dining, overpriced food, terrible cleaning staff & managers are not very helpful. The worst part was my son’s birthday money saved for college was stolen out of his wallet from cleaning staff. We were playing cards until midnight in the lobby (my son’s 18th birthday) , family gave him money that night for college. We saw only 1 night staff cleaning the floors when we left. My son dropped his wallet at our tables. The night cleaner turned in the wallet, but his $350 was gone. This was so sad. We asked the manager to help talk to this staff member & they were not helpful saying that can’t really accuse her but we could talk to her, odd. We tried to find her the next night & she called out. Nobody was willing to help, they told us the cameras in the lobby are fake & nobody was willing to address this staff member. Finally a 2nd manager told us we could file a report with local ranger, which we did & they informed us they get a lot of theft reports from this lodge. When I told her what the ranger said, she acted surprised & said she had never heard this before. This was the same manager that was totally unhelpful the first night. We are so disappointed. We spent a lot of money there & to have money stolen & no help from the managers was terrible customer service. We will never return. Instead: stay at the Log Cabins across the lake with the Sunny side cafe. Way more family friendly, relaxed, better priced food for families & cute cabins. We stayed at Hoh Valley Cabins for the 1st part of Olympic Park & these were fantastic!! But book way in advance b/c there are only 4 cabins. I would then stop at Sol Duc on your way towards Hurricane Ridge & just stay in Port Angeles after hiking Hurricane Ridge.

The view is spectacular. There’s no question! Although I can’t say the same for the accommodations and food. The lodge rooms are quite tiny, and paper thin walls! Our friends stayed in the cottages, which are quite nice. Overall, our experience, I’d give it a three stars. The nearest restaurant is a 25mins away and was closed during our stay so we had to drive to PA. The lodge food is terrible! All four of our meals came out cold we all ordered different things, and every item was cold on our plate! Breakfast, the sausage was severely undercooked and not edible. The hiking is amazing, easy hikes all around and well you can’t beat that view.

This is a great place right next to Lake Crescent. The rooms are well-kept and clean, and the main lodge is beautiful. We stopped by for lunch and arrived just as the restaurant was closing, but we were still able to sit at a table by the bar and enjoy a good meal and drinks. Since the place was wonderful and the location amazing, we decided to stay the night. We were fortunate to find availability, and the staff was very helpful in booking a last-minute room for us. It's absolutely worth staying here to enjoy the beautiful sunset by Lake Crescent. They have tables, chairs, and a fire pit along the beach, so you can relax outside in the evening. If you get up early enough, you can probably catch the sunrise as well. Overall, it's definitely worth staying here or even just stopping by for lunch one day to enjoy the views.
