Olympic Lodge by Ayres

The accommodation impresses guests with its clean, spacious rooms, convenient location near attractions, and excellent breakfast. Guests also appreciate the comfortable beds, friendly staff, and amenities like the pool and gym.

Let me start this by saying the hotel is perfectly adequate… The staff is lovely, the room is nice and it is definitely the nicest hotel in Port Angeles. My problem is the price at $420 (after taxes) a night. I can stay at the Fairmont in Seattle or Whistler (or many other hotels at this price point ) for the same price and get many more amenities and service. There’s nothing special with the linens or beds, nor the few little toiletries they provide, nothing special with “the grounds”, and definitely not the breakfast. I would equate this stay to being at a Holiday Inn express. The Holiday Inn express, however, has a better breakfast because they include hot items and proteins. The breakfast at the Olympic Lodge is all pastries and breads. The pastries are simple, mass produced items for hotels, obviously, and just removed from packaging. There are two hot items available which are a waffle machine and hot oatmeal. The only protein offered really is hard boiled eggs. The pool and hot tub area look fine but nothing special. The hot tub hasn’t worked for a while it seems from the reviews I’ve read. It still wasn’t working when we were here. Many reviews mention how beautiful the grounds are. There aren’t any real grounds here. It backs up to a golf course, which is nice to look at, and there is a little fountain on what I would call a walkway the size of walking between my garage and a fence. Again, nothing special. So yes, it might be one of the nicer hotels near the park. That’s probably why most people stay here. I just wanted to leave an honest review so you know what you’re getting for your money. At this price point, you expect more in service services and amenities. I would not stay here again unless the price is cut in half. I don’t understand all the reviews on this place being so amazing. I wonder if they are paid reviews? Like I said, it’s perfectly adequate, but nothing special.

absolutely delightful hotel very nice cozy homely feeling. well kept. rooms super spacious . temparature controlled pool . staff excellent . location super as there are lot of restaurants around walkng distance. the golf course adjoining the hotel gives it a grand look. only draw back i feel is the breakfast. they can definately do better with that. very basic breakfast . the hotle landscaping surroundint it is just beautifull. lobby amazing cant get better. its close to the national park though not walking distance at all. a drive of atleast 20 minutes before you hit the park .
