Convenient and Comfortable
This was a very large room, with parking right off the US-101 north of Shelton. The bed was extremely comfortable. The room had a table and two chairs plus a little area that contained the refrigerator/freezer and the microwave, which we enjoy for our after-dark dinner.

Oysterfest weekend!
The setup of the room was great and the center was out the back overlooking the water! While there were no frills the property was clean and the space open. It was also a very comfortable sleeping setup!

The cabins that way stayed for two nights definitely exceed our expectations. The descriptions on Expedia turned out to be an understatement of the humanities that the place actually provides. For example in our cabin there is a full kitchen with cookware, utensils, fridge, microwave, coffee and tea. These amenities are also provided in the community room which is one minute walk from our cabin. The view from our cabin living room is the canal which is really beautiful. The staff there was very helpful and accommodating. We also took advantage of their kayak rental and did kayaking in the canal. The only thing I felt wasn't the best is that this place is right by highway 101, therefore at night you could hear the cars driving by and sometimes even feel the vibration. But otherwise we really enjoyed our stay. It was only a 30-minute drive to Olympic national Park staircase rapids, another short drive to high steel bridge which is a historic landmark, a few minutes drive to potlatch State Park. There are some dining options close by as well. Overall we had a great stay at this property.

A much needed break from wet tent camping
The check in process was quick and easy. The room was very spacious and clean. The property had laundry and even sold ice. The bed was comfortable and all of the amenities you could need were in the room. Friendly front desk service too!

The view from our balcony overlooking the beautiful bay was great. The hotel is very close to Hoodsport, a great small Victorian town where you can find very good restaurants, stores, and our favorite ice cream shop. The employees and the owner were very friendly and helpful. We did not have our dog with us this time, but we could see that pets are more than welcome.
