 Olympic Lodge vs. alternatives 

We will be staying one night in Port Angeles, after we've finished the western part of ONP and will explore Hurricane Ridge the following morning. I've learned on here that Olympic Lodge seems to be the most recommended option in PA.

Because we are traveling with 3 boys (11, 10, and 3.5), we usually try to get 2-room suites so we can spread out and get everybody to sleep easier. I found that the Downtown Hotel has such rooms, but I see that street noise there is so bad that I think we'll pass. I also found the Royal Victorian, which looks like a cheap motel, but has the room design we prefer for $33 less than Olympic Lodge is charging for a basic 2 queen room without a view (I think their rates went up since I started my search). Are we missing out on anything by not staying at the Olympic Lodge, or is the Royal Victorian so inferior in terms of quality and location that it's not worth the extra space? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Royal Victorian is inferior in location and quality to Olympic Lodge. I would put it in the 1 star to 1.5 star category, with Olympic Lodge being a solid 2.

Royal Victorian will have direct noise from Hwy 101 E. Olympic Lodge is also on 101, but set back a bit; see if you can get accommodation on the south side.

We have stayed in both Downtown Hotel which we liked I will stay in again and also the horrible (so called laughingly) Royal Victorian which was one of the worst and noisiest places I've ever stayed anywhere in any location worldwide to be honest. We had no problem with noise at the Downtown Hotel which is quite European in many ways and is a good lower cost choice IMO in the area.
