Nice views of ocean. Room is spacious. On-site EV charging is a plus. No wifi in rooms though.

This is a unique National Park property, right on a bluff overlooking the ocean. We stayed in a motel-style room, which met our needs but was nothing special. At this place, it's not about the facilities, it's about location location location.

Location, and staff were so great! I loved that we had a private balcony facing the ocean. We just wished it was alittle more cleaner but all the good parts made it fine for us. Make sure to bring maybe flip flops to walk around the room and shower and check your sheets before sleeping.

Pros: Beautiful ocean view and easy access from hwy 101. The restaurant on site has amazing food! Cons But our room had no wifi connection and very poor cellphone reception. The room is also a bit run down with old carpet and loose electric outlets.

Stayed during destruction of cabins next to the cabin we were staying in. Noise, construction vehicles and traffic disrupted an otherwise peaceful visit. Also, price for the cabin more than doubled when we had to delay our arrival by 1 day. Will likely not return to this lovely setting due to our disappointing experience.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. Yes unfortunately we had to quickly remove some cabins due to some recent major erosion of the bluff. We apologize for the noises and mess this created.We hope you are able to come back and see us at a more peaceful time.

I can understand about the Internet or service in general because of the remote location although they could get Starlink or something similar for Wi-Fi. There was no hot water. I took two showers that were barely warm. Appears to be construction going on which wasn’t pleasant, but other than that the location is great for sightseeing
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024
Response from Manager on Mar 26, 2024
Thank you for sharing this with us. We do have starlink available in our main building but it unfortunately doesn't reach all of the individual cabins due to how spread out they all are. We are continuing to work on plans to improve this in the future. Sorry to hear about the hot water situation, we will investigate and make sure everything is working correctly. Happy you enjoyed your stay in the area and hope you consider coming back to see us again.

We went to the restaurant for a relaxing dinner and they would not serve me a glass of wine because I didn't bring id showing I was old enough. I am 90 years old and my daughter had to drive back to our cabin and get legal proof. This was both unreasonable and inconsiderate. (It is safe to say that I don't look under age!!!!)

incredible setting that we were really pleased with the cabin. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen, well equipped, and good water pressure in the shower. The outside of the cabins look a little worn but once you step inside, they are absolutely absolutely wonderful. and the setting is spectacular.

The setting is amazing. Overlooking the ocean, the lodge and cabins are wonderful. We had a view of the breaking waves from our cabin. This was our second stay in a cabin with a wood-burning stove and kitchenette. It is so comfortable - great for relaxing and visiting the nearby beaches for long walks and exploring.

We enjoyed our time in the semi rustic cabin. It was comfortable and views were awesome of the ocean. Sadly no beach access right at the lodge, however acces is available at the campground at short walk or drive up the road.The mercantile was excellent, and the food at the restaurant was tasty.

Service is beyond lousy.
Our stay was a disaster. we checked in at 2:30. We were told our room wasn't ready, but that they would start on it immediately. I was took the wait would be half an hour. I came back a half hour later and the shift had changed. The previous shift had blown us off completely, and I was told that there were two check-ins ahead of me. No apology. We didn't get into our room until 4. We have been there many time over the last 40 years and things are always a little sketchy, but I'm never going back there again. Kalaloch lodge is in the national park and run by the park service. Lots of rules, no effort to accommodate. They act like they're doing you a favor by letting you stay there.
