The Lodge at St Edward Park

10 of my friends celebrated my girlfriend's 40th birthday at The Lodge. We had dinner, drinks and used the spa the next day. The hotel was quirky and comfortable and staff was very friendly. My room was so cozy and quiet and the bed was very comfortable. I liked that the room didn't have any strange lights from appliances and the blackout curtains were great! The spa was so accommodating for me and my friends; they went above and beyond to help make our celebration wonderful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

this was a hidden gem to us. We visit often to the area, and wanted to try something different. the facility is gorgeous, the staff goes above and beyond with everything we asked about. the food is great, the drinks are great, the coffee...outstanding!

The lodge is a beautiful, restored historical building with a large lawn, and some walking areas lead down to the lake. The restaurant inside the hotel used to have excellent food, but since they changed the chef, it is not the same, unfortunately. The hotel is located in a state park, and it is well managed. It is a quiet and peaceful place.

Located within miles of Seattle, this hotel was like the experiences we have had in Europe. Far far beyond its competition.

I was disappointed that such a high priced (per my budget) accommodation offered no hot tub spa. The hair conditioner dispenser in shower did not work. There was not night light in bedroom or bathroom. Being seniors who get up to go to the bathroom at light this is a bit of a safety issue.

Highly recommend! The rooms are small but luxury appointments, beds are quite comfortable with pillow selection with quality options. Note: no refrigerator in room, but do offer personal sized ice offerings, so if you need anything to stay cold, bring a small cooler. The private “Library” (game room) a surprise highlight! Comfortable furnishings and a wall full of assortment of board games and table games, chess set, backgammon. A fun hidden treasure for enjoying time with friends and family. The staff is the star here! Every staff member here, are happy to be of assistance,the valet and front desk were helpful with our arrival and check out ease. The Chefs are skilled! WOWZERS! And waitstaff are friendly and knowledgeable, with all of the menu and wine selection options. Both Bar services have crafted and skilled and creative bartenders also. We’ll need to return on a dryer day and explore the grounds and area but it was an amazing experience for us and actually enjoyed being there with a storm outside! I think it created a sense of “Stay and enjoy” happily.

Staff was all very helpful and engaging. The standard room is a bit tight but had all the amenities we needed and the bed was very comfortable. I really enjoyed the original details of the hotel and the carful modernization. We enjoyed walking the park and all the other available amenities

This is an update for my family's Sept 2025 stay. We are a local family & chose The Lodge for recovery from a traumatic family event. Our room: #412. 1-nite cost: $568. In my now-deleted review (Trip Advisor doesn’t have an option to update a review instead it must be deleted and replaced with a new one), I explained our 1-star experience & how it only added to our trauma. A face-to-face discussion, written letter and a detailed Trip Advisor review resulted in a management response. This review is to say that I appreciate that we were given a one night free stay in a nice room and a generous credit for the restaurant. I returned (solo) for the night of my birthday. The room: #523. This time all amenities in the room, the plumbing & HVAC worked properly and our stay was relaxing. 5 stars given for the ambiance and management’s response to the September debacle. Of note: 1. the beds are plush which means, for me, not enough support for a less-than-youthful back, and; 2. Be sure to spend time in the Library, which is the place for bottled water, snacks, reading materials, puzzles and board games. There’s a happy hour served there, too – but not on the day of our visit, and; 3. The fitness room has nice equipment, and/ 4. The spa services are the best!

Don't be fooled by "this used to be a seminary". The hotel is well-modeled and equipped with everything you would need. WiFi is clear even though the area is secluded. Food and drink are excellent. Rooms are clean and well maintained.
