What guests think

At The Forks Motel, travelers find a straightforward, central base for Olympic National Park with mostly clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff, alongside dated elements, occasional musty odors, spotty Wi‑Fi, and pool or hot tub closures or heat issues.

Parking is easy, the guest laundry and lobby coffee are handy, and many rooms include a fridge, microwave, and updated bathroom fixtures. There is no breakfast, nearby dining is limited for a small town, and prices can feel high for the simplicity offered. Expect a practical, no‑frills stay geared to park days.

Good older motel. The beds are really firm. The room was clean and fit our needs. The dispensers in the shower only had body soap and hair shampoo, no hair conditioner. Was disappointed the heating element in the hot tub was out, so it was just the swimming pool and a cold tub. But the shower in the room was more than adequately hot and it had a message style shower head.

We usually stay here when visiting Kaloch and Ruby Beach. Is not far from those beaches. I'm glad to see the town of Forks is recovering somewhat after COVID. The last time we stayed we made most of our own meals because there was hardly any restaurants in the area. Lots more choices this trip. We did use the BBQ at the motel for one meal and everything worked great. There's a picnic area we used next to the BBQ. Lots of seating but only one other person was using the area so had it mostly to ourselves. Pool was clean and kids used it a couple times while there. We didn't have any housekeeping while there and I meant to ask the front desk if that was normal but forgot. Wasn't a big deal to me. I just went to the front desk to get towels and cups when we needed fresh ones. Front desk staff is always friendly. Lots of parking. Can walk to most of the shops from the Motel, which we did. I'm sure we'll be back again.

This is a good property, clean, good shower, good coffee in the room. The only downside was bad WiFi. You see the sign in the office when you check in that there are problems with it.

Beds are noisy, right on road so traffic noise, black hairs all over shower walls and in tub, FRIDGE WAS PLUGGED IN BUT TURNED OFF. All of our food was destroyed. WHO doesn’t have the fridge turned to cool?? Housekeeping knocked on door at 9am couldn’t understand why, just kept saying sorry, no security chain on room door!

The shower had tons of hair from previous occupant of the room. I guess they didn’t clean the shower before giving it to the next guest. I would give poor rating on cleanliness.

Decent basic motel for a quick stay in an area with limited choices. One of our two rooms had a weird smell like something had been sprayed to mask an odor. The other room was fine. Rooms were very clean but very dated with old furnishings. Wall were painted darker colors than made the already small room seem smaller.

The accommodation was very clean and spacious. This is more like a hotel than a motel. Kid friendly. Staff were wonderful. No issues with parking. Although located on road side, could not hear the noise from road at night. The motel is walking distance from most of the local restaurants and coffee shops. There was coffee available near the check in desk.

Great accomodation! You've got everything you need. As it is a Motel, it is situated close to a road (here the 101), which gives you traffic noises all night. But well, book a hotel or a resort and pay double or more.

The Forks Motel is the value choice in Forks. Lower priced than the other hotels nearby, it was comfortable, clean, and looks like our room had been recently upgraded. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom nicely redone. The sofa bed was a little worn, and the walls are thin -- we could hear muffled conversations next door, and when their toilet flushed - wow. Nice diner across the street.

We really liked the property. It's close to everything(Forks is pretty small so everything is close to everything, but we liked this location.) Front desk staff was really nice and friendly. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing I didn't like was on the day of checkout housekeeping started knocking on our door an hour and a half before checkout and on multiple occasions. We had a long drive coming up and planned on sleeping in so I wasn't happy about that and I'm not sure why she did it multiple more times .... All before checkout while we were trying to get ready. Parking spots are right by the rooms and we were the only ones left in that section so I know she saw our car still there, so I assume she was trying to get us to leave faster? It ruined an otherwise nice stay.

A good landing place for a trip to Olympic National Park - not too long a drive to Hoh Rainforest, Ruby Beach, Crescent Lake, or Hurricane Ridge. Beds were a little hard, but we appreciated a room available with two beds and a sofabed so our teens could get a little space. The staff was very friendly every time we interacted with them. Also, the fry bread restaurant down the street was amazing, make sure to check it out if you stay in Forks.

We like ever about this hotel, friendly, respectful, helpful and thoughtful stuff ! They have provided wipes for boots cleaning. A very nice breakfast place, also with wonderful food for dinner just cross the street within two minutes walk. I think it called The live in. The city of Forks itself is full of tourists attractions, the Twilight Movies Series were filmed there years ago. It is a quintessential American little town right in the fantastic multi Ecosystem Olympic National Park. Best the town and lovely hotel if you visit south coast of ONP .

The ladies at the front desk were super friendly and efficient. After staying in another motel, we did have high expectations. This broke our mold. Comfy. Clean. Had all the necessities to make you feel comfortable and secure. The dinner across the street was perfect for dinner and breakfast. The only negative was the flashing sign that bled through the window dressing by the bathroom. GREAT staff! Good comfort food. Overall, a good stay!

This motel is pretty good as far as motels go. Clean and reasonably priced. Forks is not much of a town though with limited and poor dining choices. Port Angeles is much better but if you're going to Hoh Rain Forest there's not many other options than Forks other than camping.
