I cannot recommend this resort after our recent stay in Room 412. At $500 per night, one expects a certain level of comfort and service, but our experience fell far short of expectations. The room was uncomfortably hot, and the screen door, which was supposed to provide ventilation, was inoperable and failed to keep out insects. On the second day, management removed the screen door entirely without offering a replacement or any alternative cooling solution. While air conditioning isn't typically necessary, the lack of any air circulation made the room unbearable. The cleanliness of the room was also questionable. We found yellow stains on the pillowcase and various other stains throughout the room, which is unacceptable for a resort of this caliber. The most disappointing aspect was the staff's response to our concerns. The front office seemed indifferent, merely saying they "couldn't do anything" and promising to pass our complaints to the day manager - a promise that was never fulfilled. The only solution offered was a refund from Aaron on the second day, which would have meant cutting our vacation short and enduring a 3.5-hour drive home in 90-degree weather-which we did instead of enjoying the day at a resort. For the price point and reputation of this resort, the lack of problem-solving, poor maintenance, and subpar cleanliness are inexcusable. I strongly advise potential guests to consider other options for their stay. I love the ONF and it's a truly a world heritage site being one of 4 or 5 temperate rain forests in the world - but I'll be picking another resort/hotel/motel for my next visit.

Stayed here one night as we drove around Olympic NP. Stayed in the annex. Nice room, amazing views. Have to pay for broadband WiFi, but at least it’s available. Excellent restaurant. Pool and sauna are good. The grounds are beautiful. A general store across the street sells pretty much anything else you might need. Great base for doing some hiking around the lake.

The only thing the place has going g for it is the location, and the problem is that the staff knows it. Aaron, the front desk manager, is an unprofessional jerk and I will get to him in a minute. The rooms were nice enough, but no AC was a problem on a hot night. The views were spectacular, and the servers at the restaurants were kind and the food was good. Now let’s talk about the boat rental policy, which is my biggest complaint along with friend Aaron, who was rude to us from the very beginning when we checked into the hotel after they messed up our room reservations. So the rentals are only for 4 hour blocks. But the rental house closes from 12-1 for lunch, so if you decide you want to rent a paddle board or canoe at say, 10:30am, then you have to pay the full 4 hour price AND return the craft by noon. When I voiced my displeasure at this policy, Aaron decided he would not rent us anything. Granted my reaction could have been better, I never insulted him directly but he said in his haughty voice “no, I won’t be talked to like that. You will not get a rental”. If the ownership of the hotel is reading this, understand that your front desk manager walked away from $135 because of his misplaced pride and inability to deal with an upset customer. The internet WiFi policy is also a whole different set of issues. But the bottom line is that just because the location is great, a paying customer we should not feel as though they are being held captive in the process. I’m sorry but I can’t recommend this hotel.

We enjoyed staying at the Lake Quinault Lodge. I was a bit skeptical based on some prior reviews, but if you accept that internet is only free for half hour per person, you’re okay. Food is pricey, but good. Drinks are really pricey. The rooms were very nice, comfortable and clean. The main lodge seating area by the fireplace was very cozy and beautiful. Staff were very helpful. They even found us a fan because there is no AC. Board games and puzzles are available to play. Grounds are beautiful. I would rate this 4.5 stars overall.

We had originally booked 2 nights but only stayed 1 night. We had originally booked a larger room but were downgraded. The location of the lodge is excellent. The view is great. The fireplace room is cozy. But that's all there is to it. You can read that there is no WiFi. Room 221 stank, the curtains were torn, the windows were twisted, everything was unappetizing. The shower was very small. The walls were so thin that you could hear your neighbor doing everything. No space for shower gel or shampoo. Carpet is shabby. They carry their own suitcases up a narrow staircase to the second floor. 2 glasses of wine for 33 dollars. And the room for the absolute special price of around 450 - 500 dollars. The friendliness of the reception staff also leaves a lot to be desired. All in all, a hotel that should be avoided and all these experiences taken into account!
