The Lodge at St Edward State Park

Excellent stay with the proximity to many trails. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped. We really enjoyed the library space where we could get snacks and beverages for no extra cost. I would appreciate the property even more had it had a hot tub and a swimming pool, but even without these amenities the stay was pleasant.

The general aesthetic was nice. Conveniences of the bars and restaurant was great. Loved the hiking trails and playground nearby. Bed was comfy and room was clean for the most part.

Upon arrival my son and I waited 10 minutes at an unattended front desk to be checked in. The person checking us in was nice and my son mentioned that was it was my birthday that day and the person said that they would bring a dessert next day, but it never happened. From my bed I could hear a buzzing from soemone’s phone next door which was an annoyance. I also had a hard time sleeping bc if the air quality. I turned the temp down to 66 degrees and the AC kicked in along with a really bad musty smell. I shut off the air and opened the windows and of course we were near all the buzzing of the mechanical systems outside. I woke up early due to all the smells from the kitchen. I didn't get sleep. Based on my experience and money spent I don't think I’d stay here again.

The grounds are situated on a former seminary turned state park. The gardens were beautifully abundant. From the moment we pulled up and the valet took our car to check in and to our room accommodations we found peace and calmness in our surroundings. We had breakfast, lunch, and a charcuterie board during our stay and all were delicious. I recommend the burger!

The only thing that could be explained is the climate/temperature control.

The Lodge is our favorite hotel in Seattle. It's everything you could wish for and more! The nature around the lodge is so peaceful and clean, it's a pleasure to wake up early to enjoy a walk with your furry best friend. If you're looking for an exceptionally clean, peaceful and dog friendly place - you really need to stay here!

Only thing that I could think of would be a mini fridge in the room. Especially when you travel with a pup, it's easier to be able to keep some dog snacks/food cooled.
