Lake Quinault Lodge, Aramark, it’s seen better days

Not as Nice as It Used To Be. 

Note May 2,2022
I’ve been back and stayed a night in the very same room and it’s the same. They haven’t repaired anything. The glass shelf fits loose and whatever you put in it tilts and slides off onto the floor. 
Unfortunately Aramark is likely pocketing money need to maintain the lodge. 
The new furniture seen above is vinyl. It was black leather. Leather has pores, it breathes. Vinyl doesn’t. Besides butterscotch and green. Looks terrible.  I hope the government has someone working in places like this that this corporation is ruining. 
It should be inspected. 
Anyway I heard a lot of complaints when I was in the office. 

Aramark also manages Lake Crescent lodge where Roosevelt signed the Parks into a nationally protected area. 
Just for corporations to ruin them? 
Compare to older posts on the lodge. 



           Vinyl now. Used to be black leather which was truly beautiful and comfortable. Leather breathes. Outlasts vinyl. Their decision making is poor.
             It will cost more in the long run!  Black was truly amazing, inviting. Aramark doesn’t use a designer. So now the lodge looks cheap. 
It shows. 
               The chess set is literally falling apart! 


Bathroom door doesn’t even close. It has a little tiny thing on the door that you’d never notice to keep it shut. Door doesn’t work. 
The whole lodge is in poor repair,  and grounds.

Quinault Rain Forest and Lodge






Been coming here for 15 years or so.
It's a relaxing place if you like hanging out and nature walks. WiFi basically doesn't work here.
Built in 50 some days long ago.
Historical.

Quinault Lodge






This is a favorite place I found exploring by myself years ago.

I have enjoyed coming here to restore and often meet up with people I perchance to meet and connect with.

Today I met Ann and Stan from NY.
They've been coming here for 25 years from NY.

I've been coming here for maybe 16 years. But they come every year.

The lodge was built in a little over 2 months time in 1929. Trees below are only 85 years old.
