After a long day of travel, we were greeted by our host. He showed us to our room, which was clean and cozy. He offered suggestions for a good meal nearby. We slept well and enjoyed a pleasant shower in the morning. Refreshed, we went on our way to join our family along the hood Canal.

We stayed for two nights to kyak Lake Cushman and hike at Staircase in the Olympic National Park. This was the perfect place to stay, it was close to that area and was comfortable to get a good night's sleep after long days. We had a view of the Hood Canal from our room where we watched some seals playing. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall a real nice stay. It has the potential to be a "5". The room had a kitchenette with cupboards but no amenities like cups, plates, flatware or even a toaster. Also some sound proofing would help with the ability to hear the TV in the next room. We liked the spacious room and balcony overlooking the water and would definitely recommend this lodge.

We had a wonderful time with our family. The beds were super comfortable. Would’ve liked a little table to place our suitcases. And a little loud from traffic noise in the morning. Everything else was wonderful and in working order. Great value.

I was originally certified to Dive in 1980 in Hoodsport. Then again in 2012 received my Advanced Certification here as well with a different group. Love the town, love the people and Waterfront at Potlatch Hotel was great! Great view of the canal, clean and the people were very nice. Thank you !

We had a wonderful stay and it was beautiful! The bed was very comfy; it was so nice to sit out on the porch; the shower and water pressure were amazing. The only thing I would suggest is grab bars for the bath/shower. I came with a bum knee and my husband had to help me step into and out of the shower. Other than that, I would recommend!!
