quiet and spacious room; only fault was a very dirty appearing and worn, easy chair; I covered it with a towel before placing my luggage on it.. friendly people in the office. the morning breakfast was good; nothing outstanding, but clean area and good foods.

My family and I stayed here for one night while visiting ONP-- I researched a bunch to find the best spot for our two days exploring and stumbled on this little gem! The lady and gentleman at the front desk were SO friendly and nice, they even went and searched for a pack and play for us after checking in late around 9pm. The room was much larger than expected and great for our family with two beds and room for a pack and play and even a couch. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone we know visiting ONP or Forks!

My stay could have been much better if management would have made disclosures up front. Instead I learned these the hard way, upon arrival. So I share my personal experience. My stay was during the Festival. 1-First and most importantly, some rooms do not have CELL SERVICE. (Just the building construction method) Their website and emails hid this yet upon arrival this was the very FIRST thing that was said to me. Staff attempted to minimize that this is not important saying they have WiFi to connect to. I was shocked at the gaslighting attempt. The only way I could take off work for the Festival was to bring my work with me. And the government agency that owns my work devices has a policy- immediate grounds for termination if connect to unauthorized Wi-Fi. And of course there was No Vacancy anywhere, or I would have walked away. So if you are to work while here…Just Know Before You Go. So there I was, not being able to work while in the room. Was very inconvenient to have to go out to be able to connect to the satellite. So KNOW before you book- are you okay with being out of communication, no voice, no text, no data if you work doesn’t allow you to connect to unauthorized WiFi? Next if you don’t have that need, are you willing to go comm dark when the hotel WiFi connection is so weak streaming services won’t load, email won’t download, basically your thousand dollar phone instantly becomes a paperweight? They know this and choose not to disclose it…so they immediately tell you once you are standing in front of them. -While the first one was a deal breaker, these next ones are if you know now, you can prepare to make it an okay stay. 2-UNPLUG clocks once you get into the room or else you may have an alarm sounding at 4am. Ask your neighbors to do the same….the alarm can be heard rooms way, waking up everyone. 3-Bring a speaker to connect to the tv. The HVAC blower is so loud it overtakes any sound from your tv, iPhone if listening to your favorite songs. This is a room so the distance between unit and TV is only a few feet. So add this to your packing list. Also, the sound comes from under the TV or just to the rear. If your TV is resting close to or on furniture, grab something to tilt it to free the sound. Remember- the sound comes from behind..so knock on your neighbor’s door and ask them to check to see if it’s on your wall-unless you are watching the same thing you are gonna hear what they are watching all night. 4-Bring universal remote. You will notice the remote provided does not belong to the TV, but rather their cable/satellite provider for their box. The response I was given when I went to the office was “we didn’t get them”. This was the second gaslighting attempt. While technically being accurate as the clerk didn’t get to hold one, each tv came with one but management took them not wanting the guest to be able to control their tv. Put this on your packing list. If you forget- the tv itself has controls hidden on the frame. Just feel around, use a flashlight…once you find them you can change the input to HDMI 1, HDMI 2 so you can connect your dvd player or other device. 5-My room did not have a closet rod, no where to hang clothes. Tip- use the ironing board to hand your clothes. If you have a loft, wipe down the guard rail and drape your clothes on it. 6-Be proactive and time your showers. Nothing worse than needed if a shower and there’s not hot water. So morning/night you won’t have hit water. Maybe get up a little early before everyone else gets up to enjoy a hot shower. 7-Moist towels, not sure if the dryer was broken or what… tip- if you have an oven turn it on, pull up a chair, and drape your towel so it can dry. Do not put it in the oven! Or if you have the time, take your blow dryer. 8-If you opt for a room with a kitchen you will notice burners not level. Just find the one that is. If you are qualified, try to get the burner adjusted to be level. I wasn’t able to do the 4 burner stove was actually a two burner stove. 9-Store your snacks in the microwave if you do not want to munch on added protein. I’ll leave it here. 10-The refrigerator is another place for storage to prevent things with more legs than you from entering. 11-Be mindful that not everyone is there for the Festival. Remember the alarm clock that may go off at 4am…some use their phones and will place it on their side table, next to the wall…where just inches away through Sheetrock and a 2x4 is your pillow. …so just know before you go- you may be awake each day before the sun comes out. Management of hotels, motels, lodging in general can’t be held responsible for what some of their guests do. That wouldn’t be fair. What they can be held responsible for is by hiding vital information in hopes you will book your stay so they can at least try to gaslight you once you get there. Hey, it works for them. So for the Dew Drop Inn, they have been told by countless guests, and now my name was added to that list. If all you need is a bed-this place is for you. But if you want to sleep in that bed, Just Know Before You Go.

On arrival Staff at the front desk quickly checked us in. Our room was large with sitting area. The bed was comfortable. Our room had a small balcony which overlooked the garden and Horse paddock at the rear. Overall this motel was clean, comfortable and quiet. We would not hesitate to stay here again. There is a grocery store across the road. We visited the Hoh Rainforest while staying here.

Our ground floor, room was large, clean and comfortable with couch, writing desk, microwave and refrigerator. Inn is close to grocery store and dining options. Hoh Rainforest Visitor Center is about 30 miles away. Rialto Beach is about 15 miles away.
