Do not book the Beverly Suite!!

Published Date: Dec, 31, 2024 Travel Date: Nov, 1, 2024 Rating: 3 Beautiful place to visit, we were there in late November and enjoyed the hiking and gorgeous trails despite the rain. The lodge itself is classic, loved the big roaring fire in the lobby fireplace. However, be warned, do NOT book the Beverly Suite, incredibly over-priced and under-whelming. It's in a separate building, on the upper floor. The "suite" is absolute garbage. Dark, dank, single pane windows, the bathroom has NO windows. Heating system is old and incredibly loud. The "second" bedroom is tiny and the walls don't go to the ceiling, leaving it with zero privacy. The only plus to this unit is the wall of windows in the main bedroom, but it's absolutely not worth it. The rooms downstairs in the same building were new and beautiful, the Beverly Suite is old and dark, needs to be shut down until it's renovated. DO NOT BOOK THIS UNIT!! You've been warned! ;-) We finally moved to another room in the next building over (newest building on the property and the rooms were lovely). I can't say about the rooms in the main lodge, sounds like they might be in need of renovating. Dining room food was just barely okay. Nothing much close by although we did eat at the Salmon House restaurant about a mile down the road and then got really, really sick ;-(. Pizza place nearby was absolute crap.

Peaceful Lake Quinault Lodge

Published Date: Dec, 10, 2024 Travel Date: Nov, 1, 2024 Rating: 4 This is a beautiful lodge that is peaceful in the Fall and s situated where there are many hiking trails. The view from the lodge is spectacular. It’s too cold to sit outside in November but there are plenty of places to sit inside and enjoy the lake and the dining area has many tables that look out over the beautiful back lawn and lake.

A relaxing stay in a vintage lodge

Published Date: Oct, 25, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 4 We had a delightful stay inside the old lodge building. The ambiance takes you back in time, away from the hustle of current events. No televisions or cell phone service here. Complimentary wifi service is available for 30 minutes per device and it was nice to be able to check into the real world and then go back to quieter times.
The main lobby was a great place to relax near the fireplace and enjoy the company of others without modern day distractions. Board games, puzzles and a chess table were all available for use.

Not highly recommended

Published Date: Oct, 11, 2024 Travel Date: Oct, 1, 2024 Rating: 2 This lodge is rustic and old which might be fine for some, however I feel it’s important for people to understand what to expect. The accommodations are old, dated and dingy. The boiler pipes bang several times a night which woke us up often. There is no elevator which could be a problem if you have physical limitations. The beds are not comfortable and the pillows are not even full size. The rooms above the kitchen allow quite a bit of noise. While there are trails around the resort, the area around Crescent Lake and San Juan Islands were more enjoyable.

Meh service, beautiful setting

Published Date: Oct, 6, 2024 Travel Date: Oct, 1, 2024 Rating: 3 Pros: The setting is beautiful, and our room was fairly comfortable. Food in the restaurant was delicious, although pricey. One clerk was nice and helpful in securing us an upstairs room (which we requested in our online reservation, but it wasn't held for us - we were grateful that she fixed what her co-worker would/could not). Beautiful sunset on the little beach.
Cons: Expensive for what you get. Wifi is not free. Bed and bathroom were clean, but the place could use some dusting (thick dust on ceiling fan, for example). Clanging radiator ALL. NIGHT. LONG. made a difficult night for me, as I am not used to that noise. It didn't bother my partner, who grew up with noisy radiators - he said he didn't notice it (!!). I made our reservation online, and called to request an upstairs room. The clerk I talked to couldn't have been less personable. He told me to request it in my online reservation, but that it wouldn't be guaranteed. He said the upstairs rooms would be given to the first guests who arrived and requested them. I asked if it was of any use to request it online, then, and he said, "no." Sure enough, the rooms had all been assigned when we arrived at 3 p.m.-ish, and the clerk mentioned above was able to change us to an upstairs room. She said all the rooms had been assigned, and ours was not upstairs; she was unclear why our request wasn't honored in the first place. We stayed in several different places on this trip, and this was the worst service we had, and the most expensive place we stayed. I would give this lodge a very mediocre recommendation if a friend asked if they should stay there. I'll make a point to stay away from Aramark-run hotels, too, after seeing a pattern..
