I was on a road trip with my adult son so the only two bed option was the lakeside rooms which are separate from the lodge. As these rooms also are the only ones with televisions, there is a heavy family/small children factor and thin walls so be aware. I don’t come to Lake Quinault for Wi-Fi or plush comfort so I don’t mind “roughing it” a bit. I also recognise that there is a captive audience aspect so meal prices are a premium. Plan accordingly… it’s amazing how far some granola bars, a loaf of bread, bag of chips, and cooler of cold cuts can get you. As a previous reviewer said, the quality of stay has definitely declined over the last 30 years. It’s little things like dirt and dust in the room, decaf only coffee in the room, and poor temperature control in the shower that are noticeable. Staff aren’t as warm as they used to be. But honestly, why do you come to Quinault but for the beauty of the outdoors. The main lodge is still warm and welcoming and a great place to read by the fire after a long day of hiking. It is what it is.

I recommend this lodge 100%

This hotel felt very comfortable, the food was amazing, and had an overall awesome vibe. When you walk outside for the first time, the nice cool breeze you get while walking to the lake is perfect. Can’t forget the view you see while eating at the diner outside or inside. 10/10

Very sissy!

I’ll never do this again. Booked reservation under two nights for one promo. When I arrived I discovered I was charged full price because somehow my AAA membership had been applied which made me ineligible for the 2/1 discount. Don’t know how the ASA membership was applied because I was never told nor asked for my AAA membership number. No maid service. Decided not to give them any more of my money so never ate at the lodge. Drove an hour to Forks for breakfast which was excellent! Very unhappy with my stay at Lake Quinault Lodge! Many other places to stay with much better rates!

Stayed at Lakeview room in Main lodge. What a horrible mistake as the room had stink of old carpet, the bathroom curtain stank so bad that we did not even shower here. The curtains had holes in them. On top of it, the staff here is neither polite or friendly. Their restaurant had no vegan food options for us at breakfast except oatmeal. The pictures of the lodge are not accurate specifically for the main lodge. Reconsider your plans here as when i mentioned the stink to the receptionist- she told me its because the carpets were cleaned recently- I think they have not been clean for a long time :( For the time we were there, their wifi also did not work. The only redeeming quality abt this lodge is its location by the lake but i think other lodges offer better options than this.

Skip the rainforest tour

I do not recommend the rainforest tour here - it's an incredibly steep price for what is basically a glorified shuttle service to some of the spots in the Quinault rainforest you could drive to anyway. You'll spend most of your time in the van, and the lackluster tour guide adds almost nothing to the experience.
