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.

Sadly gone downhill....

We have been going off and on to Lake Quinault lodge for 45 years and just got back from a 2 day stay. I was quite shocked at how far downhill it has gone. Oh, the main downstairs is still beautiful and the food excellent ( however, coffee is $5 and food super- spendy with few choices. ) But, our room inside the lodge was poor....the cutains had a big hole and fraying....dust thickly covered the headboard where you couldn't easily see it, and the chair upholstery was filthy. The room was so hot that you had to keep the window open all night. There has always been a cozy fire in the huge fireplace....but yesterday they had run out of wood and it was very cold. No effort to make sure the wood supply was good. The people running it weren't very friendly and the attitude of 'treating the guest with thoughtfulness' is definitely not there....mostly just sad for the state of what was once a beautiful, gracious, and peaceful place.

Our fireplace room is normally $245/night but we had BOGO. Room service is only after you stay for 1 week but we had 4 nights. So, the trash cans were overflowing. if you want to replenish coffee, tea or you had to go to the front desk. Want towels - go to front desk. Room had no clock or telephone. The final bill had a separate extra line item of $13+ for electricity. The first 1/2 hour of wi fi was free but most time unavailable. I paid for the extra time but service did not improve. Down the road the Internet Cafe and Dino's Cafe has free internet time limit. I gave a 2 based on the view.

No Free WIFI (and no cell signal either)

Limited restaurant menu and very high prices to stay during the off-season. We paid over $300 per night to stay in a 1 bedroom unit in Oct. which was the off-season. Maybe that is why the restaurant menu was so limited? The food was ok but also very expensive. And they charge if you want more than 30 minutes of WIFI. At the price they charge for a room, they should include free WIFI. The room itself was good and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We will not be returning and if we go back to that area, will drive to Ocean Shores, Hoquim, or Aberdeen for lodging.

Our room was small, however, we had a great view of the lake. The lodge is rustic and out of the way in the Olympic National Forest. We had one day of sunshine and one of rain. More sunshine than one might expect in the rain forest. The food was very expensive ($5.00 for a cup of coffee), We did find a nice place to eat close by.
