This is about the best hotel in the (greater near-Olympic National Park) area, others being in more of the "motel" range, it fills up quickly. I booked the last week before school, 6 weeks ahead of the time, and both weekends were already all full! (well, for the beach / N.W. section of the Olympic NP, you will want to stay in Forks anyways, Port Angeles is about 3 hours from that part.) It is clean, comfy, has a pool & spa (great for my 5-yr old, who gets tired of hiking easily), and in-room frig & microwave, making it easy to forget the not-so-important short-comings (e.g., the microwave is not powerful at all, heating up a cup of water took minutes; or that there isn't even coffee in the lobby - after all, this is a tourist town, and there's a McD just down the street.)
