Lake Crescent Lodge

Dirty sheets, moldy shower tiles, dirt collected in corners. Exterior lights to the building not operating, had to find room using a flashlight

I stayed at Lake Crescent Lodge, Kalaloch Lodge, and Lake Quinault Lodge inside the Olympic National Park. Among these three, I personally think Lake Crescent Lodge has the best view and surroundings to explore, with the worst quality of room and amenities. So like many people have said, you are basically paying for the view, not the sleep. The room we got is kind of small, the amenities are old, and the beddings are also not very clean. The front door lock had some issue that we had to try multiple times before we could lock it. The wall is paper thin and we could hear all the moves from upstair. Thankfully we visited during the thanksgiving break so not many people were in the building. The main building in which the registration and dinning hall locates is well furnished and has a real fireplace. There is a bar in front of the dinning hall where you can get some drink (or just hot water for free like we did). The food is okayyyyyy but kind of expensive, which is understandable since you don't have much choice inside the park unless you want to drive back and forth from port angeles. Usually I would not recommend such a place for stay, but the lake view, the lake shore trail and nearby rain forest are so nice. If you come in the summer you might also boat or swim inside the lake. So, if you want to spend more time inside the park and the lake, this is a good place. Otherwise, hotels at port angeles could be better choices.

stunning views and cabin-y feel. loved hanging out in the lodge watching the weather change over the lake. Had two outstanding meals in the lodge restaurant

It is a tourist trap and NOT a lodge to stay. It is teaming with tourists who are not staying at the lodge so the atmosphere is more like a Harvester in UK than the price bracket would suggest it is. VERY disappointing.

Clean, spacious rooms with excellent views of the lake. Also, props to the onsite restaurant for its really good food and service.

Beautiful & historical setting. Loading and unloading of the car at our Marymere Motor Inn room was rather difficult and slippery due to the grassy slope with snow and rain. Dining food quality at the Lodge was overpriced for institutional quality food. The lodge Staff was friendly and generally accommodating. Our room was not well cleaned (mildew and rust stains in the bathroom and several, big dust bunnies in the room itself. Room lighting, seating, and furniture were sparse.

The lodge as well as the surroundings were amazing but our room was old and tired and honestly too overpriced. Staff was great and dinner was okay.

Magical location, good on-site restaurant and bar, cute cabin

Dining on the porch with an espresso and looking out at the lake. The staff was pleasant and kind

Fabulous setting; charming, historic lodge. Lake Crescent and wooded surroundings are stunning. Restaurant was really special with lovely food and excellent service.

Horrible rooms, they stink and bugs everywhere. Also, the toilet was clogged everytime we flushed it.

I love this lake and area. Hikes are great and the view. It is a great escape. This is my second time staying here. The first time i stayed in one of the cabins which are great. This time I was in the pyramid rooms which are not so great. Pretty dirty and moldy bathrooms. Might be one of the oldest structures. It just needs TLC. Just simple maintenance. Shower diverter did not work properly either. I will try a different room next year but definitely staying away from the pyramid rooms.

The room was clean and very comfortable! We will be back.

Room was dirty. Bathroom was dirty and very old. The heating system was so loud we could not sleep all night long. Needs desperately to be updated. Over priced. Would not stay there again.

The views are absolutely stunning, but unfortunately that’s the only positive thing I can say. Our cabin was dirty when we arrived — the shower hadn’t been cleaned, the sheets were used, and there were no towels at all. When we asked the host for clean sheets and towels, they simply handed them over without offering to make the bed or clean anything. We also had to wait over an hour past check-in time to even get access to the room. For the price they charge, this place feels like a complete tourist trap. The scenery doesn’t make up for the lack of cleanliness and poor service. Would not recommend unless they seriously improve their standards.

We stayed in the Pyramid motel units. They were clean, standard rooms. No fridge or Wi-Fi. No view of the lake.

So dirty. Sheets with mud in them, dust so thinnbyou could write in it. Pubic hair on shower walls, rusty heat register, mildew all over bathroom, lodge walls with food and coffee stains.

There was no TV and no wifi...

The lake view was absolutely stunning. Couldn’t imagine a more picturesque view when walking out of our room in the morning.

Great location and views, rooms are a little dated

Clean, spacious rooms with excellent views of the lake. Also, props to the onsite restaurant for its really good food and service.

Beautiful scenery and easy access to nearby hiking trails. However, the rooms are poorly maintained, and the walls were so thin that I could hear every word spoken in the neighboring rooms.

I was in Flordia when the hurricane hit and my flight was canceled. I of course could not predict this and therefore could not cancel within their 4 days. They refused to cancel and I payed for nothing by. Horrible customer service.

Two good things to say about outgoing management Aramark: goodbye and good riddance. Staff is friendly - but drastically overworked and underpaid. Hopefully new management can do better because Aramark set such a low bar.

Beautiful setting and first rate service. Great food.

This was a beautiful location. This is the most beautiful lake i been.

Beautiful spot. Deer!

Olympic National Park, jewel in the crown.
