    View of bar while waiting for breakfast.
    Leah W.

    I enjoyed the low key atmosphere, view, food and drinks. They had my hubbies favorite beer on tap "spacedust" and I had a great Moscow Mule. Average bar food and updated furniture with indoor fire propane table. First time going and you can tell by wait staff small community tactics. I even got a handwritten bill. Food was great and kind staff. It was busy and had to track down staff for extras. We even went back the next day for breakfast. They even served to our liking off the menu which made my review go up. We plan on returning again.

    Tasty burger

    Awesome place to enjoy a meal after fishing on the lake. I had an awesome burger and enjoyed the view of the lake and mountains.

    The views are amazing but the food you could make better at home. I don't mind paying for quality food but at 1.00 per small item that comes out of a bag I won't do it. No one greeted us when we came in and I had to look around for a waitress. Then when she pulled my beer there was over 3/4 foam, at 5.25 a glass I expect a full one. Come for the view , eat beforehand.

    Sweet spot for lunch or dinner. Newly remodeled and very clean. Breakfast would be a great addition. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the sunshine. Great little out of the way place for those around Shelton or passing through.

    Prime Rib sandwich (sorry, was hungry and dug in)

    Excellent food and service at the restaurant. Not much of a "resort" though. A couple cabins in the parking lot. No designated swim area.

    We went for the first time for my birthday and we loved it! Staff were so kind and there were so…read moremany thoughtful touches. We loved going on the nature trails. I was impressed by how many fun things there were to do. The boat and paddle board rentals on sight were great to have, though we didn't have time to take advantage on this trip. I really enjoy a good classic a resort, but sometimes they are hard to find. The massage was amazing. She did such a wonderful job getting out knots and tight spots without hurting me. The only thing I wish there was is fresh coffee in the lobbies in the morning. I hate K cups, personally. They don't taste good and are bad for the environment. Plus making coffee in the room wakes my wife up and I like to let her sleep in. They have a coffee shop, but I wanted it in a mug. We ended up going to the restaurant for coffee and a fruit bowl which was perfect. I loved all the little spaces to hang out and enjoyed writing in the little workspace on our floor. The view and setting made it easy to feel productive and made my writing feel less boring than usual (I'm in school). The staff were all super sweet and thoughtful throughout. So happy that this magical place exists! Excited to return. Our favorite part was Brook the kitty. We are big fans of hers.

    We went to Alderbrook for dinner on a weekday evening hoping for a better experience than the one a…read moreyear 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.

    Positives: 1. Sliding door, & latch is very sturdy and new…read more 2. Interior of the room is very modern, nicely decorated. 3. The view is beautiful. 4. Veranda seating. 5. Microwave, fridge & freezer in the room. 6. Temperature perfect. 7. Coat rack on the wall, as you come in. 8. Quiet. Hubby can't hear me talking when I'm inside, unless I yell! 9. Love the floors! Negatives: 1. Faucet handles needs upgrading. 2. No stopper on the sink. I use a Kleenex, to prevent anything small falling in the pipes. 3. The room is not so bright. I have to turn on the TV for additional lights, so I can see what I'm doing. I cut & sew! I need ceiling lights! 4. No EWTN TV. 5. The bathroom and the bed is not ADA Compliance. I have bursitis, so it's difficult for me to climb up the California Bed. We have that at home, but I get up on a step stool, to get in/out of bed. The tub is hard to get out, specially if it's slippery.

    A little more like 4.75783256, but 5 works. What a gorgeous property, recently remodeled, nicely…read moredecorated, and super friendly (and LGBTQIA+ friendly) people. We were in room 25, with a gorgeous view of the Sound. We had two queens (haha, so very appropriate...!). The mattresses seemed new and were comfortable. The room was clean, the sheets fresh, the kitchen area clean and stocked with Keurig cups (well, that's a bit of a downer, but not their fault). The room was very nicely decorated with all kinds of quirky prints and hangings, making the room cheerful and fun. The TV was quite large (55" ?). The halls and other common areas were clean and well decorated, again cheerful and fun. The grounds include a parking area for RV's which was well organized, neat and tidy, with a couple green areas and some cabins on the North side, but that wasn't the main event... ! They have a very pretty little stream that even had a few flowers when we visited and which empties into the sound, where the estuarial mix of fresh and salt waters attracts birds (and fish? need to find out!). They have a small pebble beach with steps leading down where they said it is fine to launch a kayak or two! To the South there is a power plant outlet! My excitement might puzzle those of you who don't fish in Winter, but not only is it deep and fast running, but may be warm enough to attract fish. It, like everything else we saw about the waters, appeared clean and free of trash, as one might typically see nearby RV camping. And..., There are some lovely businesses nearby at HoodCanal. We had coffee there at a very nice little shop (HoodCanal Coffee, who'd have thunk it?) and then ventured next door to the little wine shop, which was FULL of curios, art, and so many lovely little things. The proprietress was wonderfully chatty and really helped fill us in on the area. And that leads us to the people... ! The nice lady running the hotel was out of the office (pro tip: there is a call button to the right of the office door that pages her, so just tap that), but popped up quickly. She was very friendly and, when we ran out of coffee creamer, which we mentioned in passing in the hall, she told me not to bother coming down the stairs to the office and that she would bring it right up, which she did. She also had more information on the local area that was very helpful. We were very pleasantly surprised and will certainly be back... with kayak(s)!

    We had a great time staying here except for the bed. I was in an accident and my legs were crushed…read moreso it is had to get in and out of bed if the mattress isn't firm and theirs certainly isn't. We stayed in the cabin room and it had a fireplace and a partial view of the ocean. But the best part was the restaurant. The food, wine and service was amazing! We tried the flight of red wine and found one we really liked so we got a bottle. The menu changes with the season and what we had was so good. I highly recommend a stay here. Next time I'll stay on the top floor of the resort.

    Normally, I wouldn't spend the money on an "view" room but I got a great off season weekday…read morediscount. I love the view; I love the view & surf sounds from the balcony. The only thing I don't care for is there are no hooks of any sort to hang your clothes on in the whole room. Especially, in the bathroom where personally an under the sink cubbie for the hotel robe doesn't cut it. The only 2 rods to hang things on are the towel rack in with the tub & toilet area, and the closet out in the main room. Very inconvenient. The outer portion of bathroom where the sink is, only has the cubbie. Initially that is filled with towels & bathrobes. The lack of a towel rack near the sink seems to be a growing trend at motels. What's with that? Otherwise, so far I've enjoy the in room Keurig coffee service and I'm impressed by the room's addition of wine glasses to the clear coffee cups & water glasses. The downside is the cups are a small 8 oz and I had to cycle twice for a decent amount of coffee. View great! Not sure the rest is worth it.
