Sequim West Inn & Rv Park

We stayed here recently in August for two nights, after using their services last year.
Although some of the reviews have been mixed, especially for the «cottages,» our stays in the motel rooms proper have been very positive.
We like the English Tudor-​style wood beams in the rooms and find them quaint and rustic.
More importantly, the rooms are meticulously clean, and well-​outfitted with a small fridge, microwave stove, coffee machine, decent TV, consistent Wi-​Fi and lots of hot water in the shower with ample clean towels.
As mentioned by others, the location is great, being next to a lot of nearby restaurants and a big Safeway, all within walking distance.
As to service, both the Asian daughter and mother who run this place were quite friendly, professional and thorough in making sure our stay was pleasant and all of our needs met.
For what this family-​owned business charges and provides at the peak of tourist season, your money is definitely well-​spent here.
Highly recommended!

Extremely poor customer service. I made a reservation for a cottage for two nights, and was told upfront that if I were to cancel I would need to call 24 hours in advance. I asked for clarification, since the usual is 2 – 3 days in advance but I was assured that it was 24 hours.
I ended up having to cancel my reservation due to family emergencies and not being able to take the trip I was expecting– but I was met with resistance and they kept insisting it was 72 hours, not 24 hours. Would not listen to reason, and scoffed when I said that I no longer wanted the room. I was hung up on, and when I called back I was told that I could cancel the reservation– but would still be charged one nights stay. If I were to put a stop-​payment, they would sue me. So, I canceled the room and they charged me– even though I called 24 hours in advance like I was told. I will admit I lost my cool at a couple of points during the conversation– but I was very upset that I was told one thing, then it was flipped and I was being told a different thing come cancellation– due to unforeseen family emergencies.
I don’t personally know what the Inn is like, but based on this horrific customer service experience I never plan on staying here– regardless of the «cottages» or locale– and plan on telling friends and family to avoid.

This is one of the best hotels as far as location, price and a quiet atmosphere. The owner is a nice lady. She and her daughter are as good as they get. The rooms are cozy and clean. I stay there every time I perform in Sequim and wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Tried to make a reservation here, I have a service animal and was told they have no rooms for people with animals on the weekend I wanted to book. I would have explained the law to her but her grasp of the English language was tenuous at best. Shame on the owners.

I always have enjoyed staying at this small family owned and operated hotel on the main street of Sequim when I’m driving through. The owner and her daughter are always very pleasant. A few years back a spouse died which I suspect have something to do with the few negative reviews. The rooms are small and slightly outdated but this adds to the overall charm. Most importantly the rooms don’t smell like over done room deodorizer (I’m sensitive to chemicals) covering up poor cleaning and are well maintained. The standard small refrigerator which holds more than enough leftovers and other perishable snacks I bring along, microwave and coffee pot are all appreciated. While not a Tempurpedic or Flo latex mattress, the bed is still relatively comfortable and I’m pretty picky. The shower with ample hot water and fantastic water flow to release tense, stressed muscles is way better than any expensive hotel I’ve ever stayed in. WI-​FI was slow but once tweaked I was able to stream an entire Netflix movie last night with no problem. The location is smack in the middle of everything Sequim has to offer. There’s even a small coin laundry on the premises. Best of all is the rate. The $ 64 (including tax) rate in late March is just awesome!!! Rates do differ depending on the time of year though but, compared to the larger hotel on Hwy 101 this is a REAL bargain. Last night some children of a guest were a little rowdy and being noisy outside when everyone was getting ready to settle in and go to sleep at 10:30 PM. The manager put an end to that which I truly appreciated. I would not consider staying anywhere else except this hotel while in this area.

Originally we wanted to check out the Holiday Inn on the east end of town, but they were expensive and it’s a bit of a drive to the west end of town where everything is. I’m really glad to have found this place. The best thing about this place is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. I love how the motel is in the middle of the city. You can access pretty much everything you need within a walking distance. The downtown area is also a 5 min car drive.
Now for the motel — It’s your standard motel outside of the big city. Apparently it is run privately and the rates are great if you just need a place to sleep and go about your business. The style is a bit dated. The manager is nice lady. Beds are comfortable to sleep in. Room was clean and felt comfy when I walked in.
No complimentary breakfast, and the walls are a bit thin. You can hear a bit of the street noise at night, but it wasn’t bad. The internet seems to pick up then drop for some reason.
Overall I enjoyed my stay! I have no major complaints.

Located near downtown Sequim, this no frills motel does the job if you’re not looking for anything extravagant. We had a 2 bed room for $ 109 during tourist season and I thought that was reasonable, given that the night before in the tourist town of Port Angeles we paid $ 40 more in a room not half as nice as this one. Since it’s not on the main highway, it was relatively quiet. Had a refrigerator, microwave and a table with two comfortable chairs. We even got dinner from the Thai restaurant across the street and took it to go as we wanted to enjoy more time in the room while watching TV. I would definitely stay at this place again. The only drawback was that you could hear the person next door when they used the shower.

The cottages that they advertise are actually old trailors. The one that we ended up in had issues with the shower faucet dripping. They thought that they fixed the issue but that night my husband went to take a shower and there wasn’t any hot water. One issue after another and the owner wasn’t very accommodating. Simple fix turned in to a two day ordeal.

The choices are kind of limited in Sequim Washington and we were late in deciding where exactly we wanted to stay so I turned to Triple A and read about «Cottages» and visioned room to spread out, doors to close to protect delicate ears from snoring spouses. Kind of a ‘vacation’ from ‘vacationing’, if you will.
Cursory, hurried ‘research’ on the net mentioned ‘mountain views” and «gourmet kitchens» and although we weren’t going to be doing any «gourmet» cooking I sort of saw a Hansel/​Gretel cottage nestled in a Washington state rain forest in my mind and called for reservations for three days.
Now don’t get me wrong, the property was probably a bargain and there was lots of room… but the cottage turned out to be a spacious double-​wide. There WAS a kitchen/​dining area and along with other furniture in the living room there was a queen sized bed. There were TWO full baths and a separate bedroom with queen bed all the way at the other end of the unit… so peaceful sleep for three whole nights!
The premises were clean and seemed to be in pretty good repair. It would have been a challenge to cook a gourmet meal with the pitiful cooking and eating implements in the large kitchen but we solved that by bringing in take out one night and eating out the rest of the time. So we coped just fine.
The real major down side was wifi was practically nonexistent. The nice ladies in the office suggested that we could get better coverage if we brought the laptop over and sat in the courtyard between the office and the regular motel rooms across the parking lot from our «cottage».
Would we do this particular choice again in the future? MAYBE. But at least next time we would know what to expect going in… and I wouldn’t have gotten my self psyched up for a darling cottage in the woods with a view of the mountains…

Very dated «cottages» (actually very old and mildew infested trailer houses with matching pre-​1980 furnishings at a rate of $ 600 per week!) Says they are «pet friendly» but charge more than $ 10 per day per pet! We were not told of this charge when we showed them the registration for my service dog and our companion cat. After we were there for 12 days, they said they didn’t accept cats at all! However, they would charge us $ 10 a day for the cat beginning retroactively ($ 120)! When we refused to be ripped off like that, they said we had less than 3 hours to leave and since it would be considered a late check out, they would charge us for half a day and if it was one minute past 3 p.m. it would be a whole day’s charge!
There is NO internet in the trailers and the smell in it caused me to purchase more than $ 30 in air fresheners… all the while being charged a total of $ 40 extra for a «pet cleaning fee».
There are much nicer places to stay. While we were there, they lost electricity in the shabby «RV» area and the poor folk in the RVs had to use generators for 3 days! It was so noisy you couldn’t hear yourself THINK!

Your standard motel. Has cable. Water pressure is awful in the showers (part broken handle, part eco-​unit). Paul, the owner, seemed like a nice dude. If we had to stay there again, we would, but definitely not in #6 because of the broken shower faucet issue.

We stayed in a cottage in the back. The cottages are prefabricated homes, which are a bit shabby and dated. The place is great for kids though since you don’t have to worry about them damaging anything. The cottages do NOT have wi-​fi, and the wi-​fi in the motel rooms in the front is slow and frustrating. The cottages and motel rooms are very clean. The Safeway is half a block away, and vey convenient.

Kind of 3 – 4 stars on this one.
With the price I paid and pics on the website, I expected a great place, called «cottage».
What it really was — a row of manufactured homes, quite old and cheap construction/​look on the outside. If one can overlook that, then its all great.
Very clean, comfy bed, fresh sheets and towels. Full kitchen, living and bedroom. new crockery, new fridge, microwave and clean stove and oven. folks at the front were very hospitable.
No wifi!

Never ever ever again will I stay at this place. The room was okay, but old that was to be expected. I was the way I was treated by the manager guy that will keep me from ever going back and for writing this awful review.
So this is how it played… the Inn allows dogs, great so we brought our Corgi (who sheds like most dogs do) upon arrival the person who checked us in let us know that dogs are not allowed on the beds REALLY why do you allow people to bring dogs to your establishment then? Not saying all dogs go on the bed, but mine is allowed on the bed and can’t be trained instantly not to. Plus, they should let you know this when you call to make the reservation so you can choose to go elsewhere. You pay a $ 10 fee to have a dog there great that is cheaper then most places.
Okay so here is the good part we check out the next day and we get a call from a man that is yell and you can barley understand him because of his broken English. The man is saying that he is going to charge our credit card an additional $ 50 because there is dog hair on the bed. 1^st off he is not authorized to run our card with out or permission and what do they not wash the sheet. I even brought my own comforter to put on the bed because the hotel comforters are always icky. So after a few shared words which I had to yell to get him to be quite and let me take I finally had to hang up on him because he called me a B*&^H.
So stay here at your own will. I am still waiting to see if this additional charge shows up on my credit card statement. We shall see.

This place was perfect for us. Good price, Somewhat small rooms, but very clean and really nice for the price. Lots of channels on the tv, free wireless internet, which i had a problem getting at first, then i told the owner who helped figure it out. He was extremly nice, and helpful. Good experience, would stay here again.
