We visit here once a year. The restaurant was in full operation and had some great options. The pool area was clean and in good repair. The store in the lodge has nice options for souvenirs. The cabins are getting rough in places - worn furniture, electrical plug not working. And- the swings are gone.

The cabin we had was very cute. It was rustic but had everything we needed. Very nice bathroom with lots of water pressure. The beds were super comfortable. The best thing about staying here is that you can come and go from the hot springs without having to drive anywhere. And you can get in first thing in the morning before the crowds arrive. It's a bit of a drive from anywhere so if you want to enjoy the springs it's great to stay there. The restaurant was a little pricey and the ambience is blah - but there was a good selection on the menu an the food was good. There is also a little store where you can buy all kinds of food to have in your room. The lodging is a bit pricey as well, but it does give you access to the springs so it was worth it.

We arrived to the lodge Friday evening after a long day of traveling. I had called the lodge earlier that day since we figured no one would be at the desk by the time we would arrive to let them know we were still coming. The staff told me they would put our room keys in an envelope on the front door. The lodge is 12 miles down the main highway in nothing but woods, it was after 10pm when we got there and the front desk was dark and quiet. I got the envelope with the keys and we found our cabin but sadly the key cards did not work. Being in the woods none of us had cell service to call anywhere. It was just us 3 girls who had never been here before and there was signs on the lodge of both bear and cougar sightings. So we were not sure what we were supposed to do..we can’t get into our room and no one is around and we can’t call anybody. We finally noticed a side door on the main lodge with a light on..I went there and opened it and said excuse me several times then a lady that works with the lodge came and bit my head off that “this area is for staff only” I explained what was going on but she still yelled at me to get out. Someone finally came and fixed the cards. I told the service desk the next morning, they were nice and said it would be taken care of but we never heard anything back. Such a shame since we have stayed a couple times at Lake Cresent Lodge and loved it there. Definitely a negative experience at Sol Duc Lodge and I don’t think we would go back or recommend it to others.

Do not stay here if paying a lot of money for a dirty, beat-up shack of a cabin will upset you. Yes, it was cool to be able to access the hot springs whenever we wanted during our stay. Yes, it was great to be able to sleep over inside Olympic National Park. But this resort bills its cabins as rustic and cozy: they are old, outdated, and falling apart. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable. The bathroom was so filthy when we first checked into the cabin that I called housekeeping to come clean it again: pubic hair all over the shower, dirty toilet seat, hair in the sink. The closet was falling apart: when I hung my bathing suit up on the hangers the wall of the closet just gave way, causing the rod to collapse and my wet bathing suit to fall into a heap of dirt and dust that was covering the closet floor. There was bird poop everywhere - on our little front porch and all over our picnic table. The grounds of the cabins were not kept well: the grass was three different lengths - overgrown under the picnic tables (whoever mows the lawn doesn’t bother moving the picnic tables), normal length in the middle of the circle of cabins, and nonexistent where people walk, very rundown. After we checked in and saw the grounds and the room I felt so down; this is a sad place that doesn’t look like it’s well cared for. My husband suggested that we pretend we’re camping and adjust our expectations that way, a nice idea but we would never pay $360 for a campsite! This place is absolutely not worth the price tag. Choose somewhere else!

Very enjoyable experience in the wilderness. Centrally located in Olympic Nation Park with access to nearby trails and roads. Loved the cabins and soaking in the hot springs at the end of the day. Having on-site dining and a general store was a plus. Cabins are located in the serene woods next to the Sol Duc river and are equipped with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Family really enjoyed the short stay here.
