We went to Alderbrook for dinner on a weekday evening hoping for a better experience than the one a year before. Sadly, no. Although we were seated quickly and had a nice view of Hood Canal, the service and food have not improved. Our waiter was very bland and gave the impression that he wasn't all that interested in being there. My GF had the crab cakes. As you can see in the photo, each was about the size of a fifty-cent piece. So each cost around $20 and were not worth anything close to that. My miso sturgeon was only ok. Dry and without a hint of miso, it was disappointing. The best item was the side Brussels Sprouts. Crisp and tasty. So, the restaurant and resort are well located, and I'm sure the hotel rooms are nice. You just may want to eat elsewhere. read more

We've heard about Alderbrook for a long time and finally were able to stay. There's something a bit magical about this place. Lots of cozy, beautiful nooks inside and fire pits outside to sit in and relax. We came during spring break but it was not too crowded. The pool and hot tub are large and warm. We had it to ourselves most of the time. Our room was very clean. The restaurant was pricey so we only went there for one meal (breakfast) and I highly recommend the smoked salmon bagel. It was lovely. Due to the cost, it's not a place we can visit often but I hope to go back someday. There are many WA resorts that are overrated but this truly is one worth visiting. read more

This is where you go in March for peace and quiet. The pool building is magnificent. The location provides a number of back trails and novelty sites. Very romantic. read more

What an amazing little getaway! At Alderbrook Spa & Resort you truly feel like you're away on vacation! I came here for 3 days for a conference retreat and it was such a lovely stay. They have all the amenities you could wish for and more! They have spa services (make sure to book in advance), pool, hot tub, sauna, boating/kayaking/SUP, gym, golf course, nature trails, fire pits and s'mores, and so more. I was impressed with how much there was to do here and service was too notch. All the staff were super helpful. The stay itself was so peaceful, whether you're in the cottage or the rooms. Nature is everywhere and connected to all that Alderbrook has to offer. The rooms were clean with great service. They have robes and slippers for everyone. You can even jump into the sound if you feel like it! Ooo not to mention, some great seal watching! This is a great place for a retreat, conference, community building, work event, girls night, wedding, and so much more! read more

Review of Alderbrook Resort & Spa We've been coming to Alderbrook for years--before we had kids, and now with them--and it's always been one of our favorite places in the Pacific Northwest. We typically visit once or twice a year, by both car and boat. Unfortunately, after a recent 3-night stay, this is the first time we've left genuinely disappointed. For context, I'm not someone who posts negative reviews. I've left maybe two reviews in my life, both positive. I also spent years working in restaurants and tend to be very understanding (and generous) with service staff. That's part of why this experience stood out. The tone was off from the start. I arrived early with our kids for a planned 2pm check-in (my wife, who made the reservation, was arriving later). I was told--firmly--that I could not check in without her present. No attempt to problem-solve, just a hard "no." After asking for a supervisor and making a quick phone call to my wife, the issue was resolved in about a minute. That's exactly the point: the solution was easy. The approach should have been "let's figure this out," not "you're not getting a key." That might be irritating at a budget motel--at this price point, it's unacceptable. That same tone came up repeatedly. At the bar, when I went to order food for my wife near closing, I was greeted with "You've got five minutes." When I asked whether he meant the kitchen or the bar, all I got back was a second dose of "You've got five minutes." It set a pattern. There were also noticeable changes that feel like cost-cutting at the expense of the guest experience. One example: Alderbrook used to have complimentary coffee available in the lobby early in the morning. As an early riser, this was one of my favorite parts of staying there--quiet time in the great room with a cup of coffee before the day started. That's gone now. The coffee shop doesn't open until 7am, so I ended up driving several miles to a gas station at 5am just to get coffee, then drinking it in my truck instead of enjoying the resort we were paying a premium to stay at. The property also felt more crowded than in past visits, particularly the pool and hot tub. It appeared that an increased number of day/resort passes are being sold. What used to feel like a relaxed, somewhat exclusive environment now felt more like a busy public facility. For a stay in the $2,000-$3,000 range, that shift is noticeable. Dining was another disappointment. Dinner for our family of four--two adults and two young kids ordering off the kids menu--was just over $500. The food was fine--nothing wrong with it--but very average for that price point, and service was inconsistent (including long stretches without seeing our server). As one example, instead of a traditional lobster tail, the menu now offers a small portion of shelled lobster meat. What was served appeared to be uniformly cut pieces, largely from the thinner tail end, at a price point ($45 for about 4 ounces) that didn't align with the quality or presentation. We've dined at plenty of high-end restaurants over the years and have a pretty good sense of what that level of pricing should deliver. This didn't come close. We also ran into smaller policy changes that add up, like no longer allowing to-go orders from the bar (you have to order room service with an added service charge). Again, individually these things may seem minor, but together they create a clear impression. Even some of the physical upkeep raised eyebrows--there was at least one highly visible exterior structural repair that looked crude and out of place on what is otherwise a beautiful, classic property. It didn't match the standard you'd expect here. To sum it up, the biggest change wasn't any single issue--it was the overall feel. The service across multiple interactions came off as rigid and transactional rather than welcoming and guest-focused. The resort feels like it's leaning more toward maximizing revenue and less toward maintaining the experience that made it special. We've loved Alderbrook for a long time, which makes this especially disappointing. I hope this was an off stretch or a course correction moment, because right now it's not the same place we've returned to year after year. read more

Wow what a slice of heaven on the west coast! Loved sitting in my window seat sipping my coffee while watching the seals swimming. Enjoyed hiking the peaceful tree lined hiking trails conveniently located across the street. The saltwater pool, sauna and steam room with views of the water melted away all the stress. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding and the cats Alder and Brook just made the experience even more home like. read more

In short Wonderful secluded getaway that can really pamper you or give you peace and quiet. In long I've thought about this place off and on since staying here many years ago. One of the teams I supported when I was at Microsoft was quite the merry band of misfits and oddballs--and I am talking about the leadership group. The rest of us seemed mostly normal. Heh. Anyway, they booked this place for 2 or 3 nights of "offsite meetings," which became a parody of corporate life. It was Michael Scott and Dunder Mifflin come to life in a quiet fjord that looked more like Twin Peaks. The setting, though! Wow. They booked all the cottages and rooms they could get their hands on for us. One of my teammates bailed, and he was my cottage-mate for the event, so I had a whole cottage to myself. Huge space, super comfortable, beautifully constructed. We had great meals and some really nice wines (I still can't believe how much alcohol they purchased for a work event) in the main building. I remember thinking over and over how I'd happily come back any time. One of the evening "tastings" was way over the top for me in a work setting, so I hit the gym for an hour before bed. It's small, but it lets you stretch your legs and get a little work in. In the years since, I've been nothing but relieved not to work with that group any more, but I'll really have to get back to Alderbrook to enjoy it for its own merits. The water and hill views are gorgeous. It's stuff we can see on any ferry ride, sure, but relaxing in a private space right on the water is always lovely. I'll never be a connoisseur of spa amenities, so I can't comment on those, but the lodging is fantastic here. read more

There were two of us we stopped into the bar at 1:30 on a Friday. There was only one server who was also the bartender. The service was a little slow, but our server was super friendly and kind which made up for it. The view from the bar is outstanding, the bar is bright with lots of windows. I had a veggie scramble, which was mediocre. My friend had the burger which she thought was delicious. Overall, the experience was just OK. read more

We had a really lovely stay at the Alderbrook. We loved walking around the gorgeous grounds and sitting by the outside fire, having a few drinks. We swam in the pool and soaked in the hottub as well. Everything is super clean and well maintained. We didnt get a chance to eat there but we loved looking around the gift shop. Our room was gorgeous, well appointed, clean, comfortable, with a beautiful view. Every employee we encountered was friendly, attentive, and helpful. read more

We recently stayed at the Alderbrook Inn & Spa in Union Wa for 2 Days. We Loved it, great service, they brought us chocolate covered strawberries & sparkling cider for our 30th anniversary. Room was clean, spa jacuzzi could have been warmer, they fixed it. Friendly people, pet & child friendly, game night. Great meals highly recommend the prawns lightly breaded In reduction with fruit, absolutely delicious. Ed enjoyed cinnamon rolls, I enjoyed perfect eggs Benedict. Frogs croaked at night put me right to sleep. Rain & hail poured down & we sat by the cozy fireplace. Excellent stay. read more

Our 3 nights at Alderbrook were absolutely amazing - one of the best getaways we have had in a while! How have I not been to the Hood Canal before now? Unfortunately the outdoor patio was closed due to 95 degree heat, but that didn't deter us... we loved the east hikes through the woods up to the golf course... we had access to a boat, but the Hood Canal is spectacularly beautiful. So peaceful, glass smooth water that is 75 degrees! Who knew? If you don't have a boat like we did, they have all sorts of paddle boards, pedal boats, electric boats, etc to go exploring. The food at the restaurant was good but not great, but everything was top tier, especially service around the resort. The lobby is a fabulous place to hang out and play a game with huge windows and comfortable chairs. Did I mention harbor seals? We WILL be back read more

Amazing! We only came for brunch which was delicious. They also give you complimentary carrot cake drizzled with honey instead of rolls. Super moist. Our waitress was Amy and so very patient and gave us a little of info about the resort. We walked around the grounds outside and then the dock. We met a nice gentleman who works for the resort tell us all about the water toys (kayaks, etc) and the area around the resort. We live just over an over an hour away and came here by recommendation. It did not disappoint!!!!!! Thank you to the wonderful staff who greeted us and for the beautiful resort grounds on the shore of the hood canal. We will def be back.

We topped off or relaxing day with a meal at the waterfront restaurant with some truly delicious food. I cannot recommend Alderbrook more! read more

Alderbrook Resort has become a special place for my family over the years. As a landscape photography hobbyist, I loved the tranquil and beautiful scenery the resort provides. When the sky is blue and the mountains reveal their snow covered tops, the scenery you see absolutely gorgeous and the picture that I captured for one of those moments now hangs in my home. The foggy weather also provides dramatic scenery as well. There are so many photographic opportunities around the resort. Their pool is huge, enclosed, and amazing. Their hot tub is also wonderful. Rooms are modern, clean, and well maintained. We love their food in the dining room. We love Alder and Brook (resident cats). We love this place. And it's less than 2-hour-drive away from Seattle! read more

Getting there: We were driving from downtown Seattle. With all the ferry issues, we decided to drive. It was a little over one hour and 40 minutes from Pioneer Square to Union, WA via Tacoma. Though it was rainy and a bit chilly, we had a wonderful relaxing weekend at the Alderbrook Resort & Spa. Check-in was efficient and everyone was friendly and welcoming. We spent 3 nights in a room facing the courtyard on the first floor near the spa in a pet friendly room. It was $30/night to have our furry kid. Two dog bowls and a bed were provided. There was a small in-room refrigerator where we stored his dog food. (no microwave) I did see an option to order dog food from the resort. It sounded pretty good! In less soggy weather, we would have enjoyed sitting just outside our room or near the outside gas fireplace adjacent to the spa to enjoy the chilly air and beautiful Fall colors. The room had a great deep soaking tub for relaxing (take bath salts or buy some in the gift shop if you forget). I thought the room was nicely furnished. I loved the window seat with big pillow cushions to snuggle up and read. There was a large screen TV, but we kept it mostly off to relax. I did appreciate all the electrical outlets and the clock with plug ins to charge up your electronics. We're used to living in a high-rise, so it was a "vacation" to just open the door to the courtyard so our little dog could do a quick pee in the middle of the night. There are gas fireplaces and fire pits to enjoy in non-rainy weather. Lots of kids/adults seemed to enjoy the indoor pool (don't forget your suit!). We did not make use of the spa amenities but I read that they have a steam room/sauna which sounded great. Staff: Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Food wise: There are lots of options. Solid mochas/carmel macchiatos from the Drinkery behind the front reception. We had takeout (chicken sandwich and a burger) that first night in our room to avoid our dog from freaking out at being left alone in the room. We had two very enjoyable meals at the restaurant. Steak the first night and I had a humongous and utterly delicious pork chop the next night. (Tip: good for 2 people with just enough left over as a treat for your furry baby.) Nearby: The Hook & Fork is associated with Alderbrook is a great lunch spot just a couple of miles up the road. A tip: We also drove 40 minutes to Hama Hama for lunch as a short excursion from the resort if you're looking for something to do. Overall: Very lovely for a low key weekend to give the brain a break from hectic city life or just life with all of the usual to-dos that never end. read more

It's a bit of a drive from Seattle but once you arrive the resort itself is beautiful, situated on water with wonderful views of the mountains and forests. The grounds are beautiful for walking, with gardens and views galore Plus there are places to sit outside with or without a fireplace. The indoor heated pool is great and also has a bubbling hot tub. You can hang out in the lobby and have a drink and just sit, or play a game, or play with the cats. The staff has been super friendly and helpful, starting with check in and including taking care of room maintenance. Our room is spacious, clean, and has great views of the water. The beds are comfortable with lots of soft pillows. Free wi-fi. I don't have any complaints about the room or staff. The restaurant "Terrace" is also great. We had a wonderful dinner there the first night. The raw oysters were fresh and probably the best I ever had. Full, plump, and flavorful. The salmon entry was cooked perfectly, crispy skin and moist meat in the middle. It was an excellent dinner. We also had breakfast there the next morning and it also was excellent. I had the bagel with smoked salmon and the salmon was smoked perfectly. I would say that as far as resorts go, this is about as good as it gets. read more

While we have enjoyed a few trips to Alderbrook Resort over the years, this trip was special, as it was the first time I was able to receive a massage in over a year (after a really unfortunate experience at another high end spa in Snoqualmie about a month ago). From the moment I arrived at Alderbrook, I felt safe and seen. The staff were caring, engaged, and fully committed to ensuring guests had the experience they were hoping for upon coming to the resort. Walking into the spa, I felt immediately at ease. Safety protocols were clear and politely presented. While all staff at Alderbrook spa are vaccinated, they were still wearing masks to remove any barriers that might negatively interfere with their client's experience. It was a great welcome. Then, the massage. It was perfection. Relaxing music, dim lights, expert massage strokes, and special extras, like aromatherapy and a glorious foot ritual. It was exactly what I wanted and so desperately needed after this last year of uncertainty and stress. In fact, it was so enjoyable, I did not want to leave :) But, I am so happy to already be planning a return visit soon, as this will definitely be my spa "go to" for the foreseeable future. Thank you, Alderbrook Spa, for the restful, reassuring, and rejuvenating experience. read more

First of all the tree frog serenade on a late April evening was spectacular. Staffing was impressive. They ran multiple events the whole time we were there and still made up our room. The setting is serene, and we enjoyed the view, the lawn, and the deck chairs. The restaurant and bar were good. Room was well appointed. read more

Overall, while Alderbrook offers stunning views and great amenities, some service-related issues and extra fees detract from the experience. Not a great value considering the prices/fees. Pros: - Beautiful, peaceful views from the waterfront rooms. - Spacious in-room soaking tubs. - Spa services are exceptional (they don't charge a 20% service fee). - Delicious meals that were both well-prepared and flavorful. - High-quality in-room toiletry products. Cons: - Check-in process at the front desk was extremely slow. - An automatic 20% service charge was applied to all food and drink orders. Service fees and gratuities should be at the discretion of the patron, not automatically imposed by the establishment. - The resort also charged an additional $27 per day resort fee for who knows what. - Noticeable mold on the shower grout and shower curtain. - Beds are on the softer side and bedding was very light for fall/winter with no extra blankets offered. - Room service had issues--lost our ticket, got the order wrong, and it took nearly 2hrs to arrive. Still had to pay the 20% service charge on top of that. - Pool is very noisy until 9pm. The adult-only policy for the pool and hot tub doesn't begin until 9pm, which may not be ideal for those seeking a more tranquil experience earlier in the day. read more

We celebrated our one year anniversary and babymoon here on 1/1 and it was perfect. This resort is beautiful, clean, and had all the right touches to make us want to come back. The lobby has a big rustic fireplace with tons of seating. They had free hot cocoa and organs as well. We stayed in the Kings room with the water view and upon arrival we were greeted with a plate of chocolate covered strawberries for our celebration. The view was beautiful, the bed was comfy, the soaps were nice and they even had robes and slippers to borrow. Before dinner we had time to check out the grounds including the fire pits, and dock and even one of the little nature trails. We'd love to come back during the nicer weather to check out the water a bit more. They have multiple outdoor fire pits and tons of seating to enjoy the grounds. Dinner was lovely. I ordered the risotto and added prawns. My hubby had the duck and added mushrooms. To top it off we had the huckleberry lemon cake and cappuccino cheesecake. They even gave us some yummy ice cream with chocolate writing, "Happy Anniversary". Everything was super delicious. For breakfast, we had the mascarpone stuffed French toast, and seasonal waffles. Both excellent. We highly recommend this place! We'll be back read more

Alderbrook gives me 1960s Dirty Dancing resort vibes every time I visit and I am not mad about it. I have stayed at Alderbrook as a guest as well as a professional organizing a board retreat for my work. The staff from front of the back the house to front are always attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and quick to react and fulfill requests if possible. There are many areas for sitting, relaxing, and staring at the gorgeous scenery. The indoor pool and hot tub is one of my favorite features. You can be in the pool while staring out over the inlet and watching the sunset. The rooms are comfortable and meet all of the needs I usually have when visiting including the fabulously deep tub in the rooms. They have fantastic cocktails, wine selection, and the fire pits are made for chatting and hanging out in the dusk of the day. Asking front of house staff about any special events that may be going on is a must! They almost always have something fun on the activities calendar including a telescope to see the stars, yoga, and different hikes that the family might enjoy. I do recommend booking out as far as you are able to. Alderbrook DOES book out especially during the summer so book in March if you can! read more

We stayed at the dock so I can't attest to the quality of the hotel rooms, but we were able to enjoy the resort's many amenities: the restaurant (very good with a great view!); lovely indoor saltwater pool (hot tub, sauna and steam room too!); geocaching experience (so much fun with the kids - and a good way to experience the resort's lovely forest trail system); super cozy lobby with fireplace, board games, cats and free cocoa, hot cider and tea (this was our favorite hang out); fire pits; marine sign scavenger hunt; coffee shop etc etc. I mean, the amount of family friendly and complimentary fun, outdoorsy or cozy inside, was unparalleled in my experience. And what seriously stood apart was the genuine warm and welcoming feeling from the staff - Nick at the waterfront was ready to welcome our boat upon arrival, even calling the local marina to let them know in advance we were coming to fuel - multiple front desk staff offered help and smiles, and my daughter's lost hat was found - and they called us to tell us us they'd recovered it in the lost and found! Truly a luxurious yet unpretentious place that left us feeling relaxed and grateful. The scenery and wildlife included views of the snow-capped Olympics and birds and seals playing in the Hood Canal. A full moon and morning fog added to the atmosphere. A real PNW gem and kudos and thanks to the staff that make it so! read more

My wife and I went in for breakfast on a Friday morning. Very peaceful and not crowded at all. The breakfast tasted fresh and delicious. The Hood Canal Hash was very good, the fried oysters were perfectly cooked. The eggs Benni were perfectly cooked as well. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Service was very nice and welcoming. The food was extremely expensive ($22 for bowl of soup??) and very average. I had clam chowder and a shrimp salad. There were 3 shrimp on a large plate of lettuce. My fellow diners had fish and chips (no real flavor), and an overcooked hamburger. There is also a mandatory 20% surcharge on your meal..regardless of the size of your party. The menu explains that 14% of it goes to the wait staff, and the rest is divided between other dining room service staff. How about you pay your employees a fair wage, reflect it in your prices, and stop forcing these "surcharges" on your diners? read more

Did someone at Luxury? This resort is the ultimate resort and spa. If you want to get away from the hectic craziness of life, you couldn't find a better spot. Situated on a lake and built 100 years ago, this resort offers you the best of luxury living. The grounds are beautifully kept and the views are spectacular. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are large, comfortable and have every amenity you may need in them. The cozy robes and slippers are perfect after a piping hot shower. The bedding is comfortable and you will be guaranteed a perfect night sleep. The restaurant overlooking the lake is another great part of this resort. We had a some delicious drinks and tasty meal overlooking.the lake. If you do eat there , make sure to ask for Alesha's table ....as she is an incredible server. The surroundings of this lodge are spectacular set along the Puget Sound. There are tons of beautiful trails that you can explore during the day and then the summer lots of swimming in the lake While you're up there, make sure to swing on up to Hoodsport to @Fjordoysterbank restaurant fir a great tasting meal. Oyster are picked fresh every morning from the beach in front of the restaurant. read more

A pleasant stop along the water in Union. The brunch menu for the restaurant is amazingly affordable. The restaurant atmosphere is great. If you want to take a date somewhere fancy earlier in the day, I recommend the restaurant. There's a pier which I tie up to during the summer to grab lunch. Each year there's a fireworks display there. I've never stayed at the resort itself, but I'm an avid user of the day services! I wouldn't recommend working here. I applied twice within the last decade and both times were a fright . . . Most recently, I applied for a room service attendant position. I was provided an interview, and at the end of the process (about 20 minutes) the interviewer stated that she'd like to have me on board. This is also when she stated that her full-time positions were filled. I had exclusively applied for the full-time position. I gathered my items and left. Earlier during this interview, which was performed outside, a disheveled room attendant interjected between us to ask an informational question that could have well waited until later. The whole room service department seems to be a wreck. In retrospect, I believe I'd really dodged a bullet. I was shocked that such a professional establishment presents itself in this way, especially with the clientele that are catered to. I won't even tell you about the front desk job offer years ago . . . Yikes! read more

Fantastic spot. Amazon service up front, in the restaurant and on the dock. The epitome of a Northwest Resort. Each year there is something new to enjoy. My only disappointment this year (and the reason it's 4 stars instead of 5) was the Trail to Table that's offered on Thursdays, 2-4. We called ahead to confirm it was happening, came two hours early just for this experience , and it ended up not happening. Upon arrival we were told they were short staffed but that it will be starting at 3, with the "trail" portion omitted. We waited around (not much else you can do in an hour in Union), and 3pm came and went with nothing. Each time after 3pm that we asked, they kept saying "someone is coming." We finally moved on at 3:55.... I get that these things happen, but I would rather they just say it's not happening today than waste two hours of my time waiting around for it. Just a bit of a bummer. read more

Hands down this was an awesome getaway for my husband and I. Neither one of us knew much about the area and the resort itself but boy were we made believers after this visit! We wanted something that was a home away from home getaway vacation and it was perfect! We both left feeling like we had spent our time at an adult summer camp. From all the water activities (kayaking, paddling boarding) and local hikes in the area, you're bound to find something to get you moving. There's also a spa onsite to help you find that deep relaxation we all crave. Reservations are required. The restaurant on site was pretty fair but nothing blew me away (3/5 for the food and service). There were some renovations taking place during our stay but that didn't stop us from enjoying our time. If anything it assured us we have to come back and see all the new bells and whistles. The resort has two local historical figures and they are the most adorable people friendly cats, so be on the lookout. read more

Such amazing food! To start they brought out some bomb focaccia bread. Next we ordered some small plates, we got the Brussels sprouts and prawns, which didn't disappoint! I got the cauliflowers steak- and it was so good! As a vegetarian I was happy with my options (not a bunch but the ones they had were amazing!) my party also got the halibut, the lemon risotto (very cheesey) and the meatball marinara. We were all happy and full upon leaving! The cocktails were good as well! My only notes are to make a reservation if you can to get the best seats and not to eat too much bread before your food lol! Overall great experience for my moms bday :) Also, we were seated at the restaurant and not the outdoor patio, they have different menus. read more

We stopped in for lunch, it was for a friends birthday and there were at least 9 of us. We sat outside on their informal patio. The service was very good, but this is a very limited kitchen and my food allergy confused them and I was served a very lacking meal. The others who didn't have allergies didn't enjoy their meals either. The blue cheese cole slaw was very good, but everything else was not to our liking. Beautiful scenery, good service but food is really mediocre. read more
