The Lodge at St Edward Park

Wonderful staff and accommodations

It’s a fantastic property, just know that the rooms are TINY!

Amazing place!!!

beautiful and serene

It’s very modern and clean. The building is historic and is on beautiful land. Totally worth it

We booked a king room and arrived at 4pm for check-in. The staff explained the room wasn’t ready, but they were apologetic, offered drink coupons, and promised to call when it was available. We had an event to attend, so this seemed fine. When we returned at 9pm, not only had no one called, but we were told there were no king rooms available at all. To their credit, they offered us a queen room, promised to work with Expedia for a 50% refund, and sent a bottle of wine to the room. The room itself was comfortable, but I wasn’t able to sleep well due to a buzzing and flashing light from the thermostat every minute or so, which kept me up for over an hour. The next morning we tried to have breakfast in the restaurant. It wasn’t full, but it still took about 40 minutes just to place an order. The waiter was kind, apologetic and brought us juice, but the food was so delayed we had to request it to-go. He admitted one of our dishes had been given to another table, so we left with only one item. Even with these issues, we checked out giving the benefit of the doubt since the hotel was hosting a wedding. What has been most disappointing, however, is the refund they promised. Weeks passed and nothing was processed. I called to follow up, explained the situation, and was told they would handle it and get back to me. It has now been over two weeks since that call, and I still haven’t received the refund or any communication. A hotel of this caliber shouldn't have this many issues.

The lodge is just beautiful. We loved the food, the art in the hallways, the park to explore, and learning the history of the seminary and its restoration.

Check in lady was a sweetheart. Gave us free drinks because our room wasn't ready. Room 502 wasn't haunted, but there was a loud exhaust fan outside our window. Free earplugs at the front desk! Fish and chips were delish. Lots of arches and bedazzles. Beautiful surroundings and trails.

This would have been a great experience - had we not had to change rooms two times in the middle of the night on the same night due to 1) fire alarm randomly going off at 1am in our room and 2) other odd noises in the 2nd room which we were moved out of around 4am. Management never acknowledged or apologized for the disruption and the fact that we weren't able to get a good night's sleep. We most likely will not be staying here again because of the poor customer service. Note if you do stay here for an extended period, there is a grocery store nearby but it's a bit of a drive to get to restaurants.

Great place to feel like you have left the urban area, but still be close

My partner and I are long-time locals who decided to stay here for a special celebration. The Lodge is located in the heart of a dense urban area on property that used to be a seminary. The seminary buildings have beautifully restored and are surrounded by acres of forests with walking trails to the beach. Everything was lovely and quiet. The avocado toast was superb. The staff was warm and friendly. Will return again soon.

Beautiful historic building in the state park that has access to Lake Washington through a trail. The spa experience was great!

We visited last year and had another great visit! We noticed things are a bit dirtier now? Dust on walls, surfaces, etc. Staff was super accommodating. Will visit again.

Charming quiet hotel in a park Good base for exploring Seattle if you want to be out of the city and in a quiet location Excellent restaurant

Beautiful rooms and comfortable beds!

This is the second time I stay here and have been very dissatisfied with the temperature of the room. It was way too warm for us! Almost impossible to sleep, even with them bringing a fan to the room. It still didn’t drop the temperature in the room… unbearable during summer month, the first time we came was in February so I only had to open up the windows to let the winter air in to cool off but this time there was no reprieve. For the price that you pay for a room here I would expect to be ultra comfortable. They did offer me a new room, but when we went to it, it was even warmer than the room we were already in. The lovely lady at the counter offered me a small credit, which at least was something but sadly, I never actually got the credit on my billing statement so I ended up paying full price for being completely miserable the entire night. My only other complaint is that the service in the restaurant for breakfast both times also was terrible… Very slow, you have to wait forever for somebody to even seat you and then you sit at the table for a very long time waiting for somebody to address you and then waiting for your food is another very long wait… Just too much.

Nice place to stay very clean and very comfortable bed . We ate there for dinner and breakfast it was fabulous!! My only complaint is the room is very small:( but we overall enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful property

The food was great! Staff were pleasant. My room was noisy and the alarm went off 8:30, first night. Second day alarm went off during my massage!! Faulty sprinkler. My relaxing stay was not all that relaxing.

The location is excellent, close to everything we needed, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, with well-maintained landscaping and lovely hiking trails. We also really enjoyed the food, it was surprisingly good, great customer service with a nice selection and quality ingredients. They have a library with books, games, and snacks. We loved that part of the hotel it was a little treat! The rooms were decent but not without issues. The bed/pillows were amazing! Our room didn’t have a fridge, which was inconvenient, and the ice bucket was too small to be of much use. The worst part, though, was finding a gigantic spider, bigger than a half dollar sitting on a bath towel right after getting out of the shower. Definitely crazy to experience and unsettling. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the spa. It was minimal in amenities and to say the least…far from relaxing. I paid $200 for a massage that left me in more pain, soreness, and emotionally drained than when I arrived. To make matters worse, the male massage therapist wouldn’t stop talking throughout the session, about himself, different techniques for me to use because of how “bad of shape my body was also telling me some kind of condition in my back” which completely ruined the experience. It felt more like an awkward conversation of what I need to change and what I’ve been doing wrong with my body and mind than a peaceful escape. Honestly, it was the worst spa experience.
