More than Scandinavian - the museum tells the story of Poulsbo's settling and development. Downstairs tells the story of Heart and Home, Tending to Business, Almo Theater, North Kitsap Schools, and its Scandinavian heritage. Upstairs recently opened telling the story of Poulsbo from 1930-1980, the years when WWII changed the demographics of Poulsbo dramatically. The museum also offers research assistance and monthly children's activities. With both museums (Maritime and History) there is always something new and entertaining to keep the family busy.

The building itself is nice. Frpm the main room, there's a floor-to-ceiling window that you can look out to the water and see the boats and scenery. This is especially when a slight distraction is welcome from a boring moment in a meeting. . Until recently, they catered our Rotary's 7am breakfast. We now have an outside caterer bringing the food in. I honestly never thought The Son's food was that spectacular. So, changing to another vendor was fine with me. However, they always had the nicest people volunteering their time to serve our group every morning. These are folks that went out of their way to give positive greetings, made sure that they were putting your food on your dish the way you liked it when they were serving from the window, and always offered a friendly chat. I have some friends that have attended Sons of Norway activities, trivia games, community meals, and such. They have really enjoyed them.

I booked a night in a Tower room since my work holiday party was being held in the Salmon room at…read morethe casino. The tower rooms are very conveniently attached to the casino and easy to get back-and-forth to your room. If you stay in a Resort Room, that building is not attached and you have to walk through the parking lot to get to the casino. I would say that that's the only downfall during the winter time of staying over there. But that is where the pool is so it just depends on what you're looking for at your stay. I have no complaints about the room, very clean and nice decor. My husband wished there was room service for breakfast the next morning but that is not available. I also wish they had valet parking. There is not nearly enough parking in the parking lot so if you don't find parking, you have to park in the parking garage and then walk all the way around back in to the hotel. Hotel staff were very friendly and the checkout process was easy. The second part of this review is going to be on the service from my work holiday party. The room was beautifully set up and the food was delicious. The staff that were coming around refilling water and taking plates were very attentive and friendly. We really liked Richard. The one employee that we encountered was the bartender assigned to our room. My first encounter from her I thought she was just having a bad day and I let it go. Not welcoming or friendly at all. Not even a smile. But as the night went on people started talking and it seemed everyone was having a not so good encounter from Robyn. She did not ID anyone all night, except my coworker that asked for a mocktail. She was rude to some people and unprofessional to others. It just progressively got worse. Yes the management will be reaching out to the contact they have at the casino to let them know. I was just so taken back about how somebody could go out of their way to be so rude at a fun holiday party. Other than that, the experience was great and I would highly recommend renting an event room there. Is it worth the drive?...yes

Low water pressure, noisy fridge, loose fixtures, not enough outlets. The pool is unusable as it's enclosed in glass and is a 100+ degree humid greenhouse. They also didn't service the room after the first night. Just left a pack of soap, didn't touch anything else. The pricing is way too high for a room that is less nice than a Holiday Inn Express. The casino is not classy. It's all digital and feels more like gas station with carpet. There aren't a lot of hotel options up in the islands but we won't be staying here again, the price point doesn't reflect the amenities.
