This is an older property – judging by the single-storey, horseshoe layout, I’d guess it dates to the ‘50s – and despite the suggestive name, there are no views from the rooms, but don’t let that put you off. The location is good – far enough from traffic to ensure a quiet night – the motel is well maintained, and the price is right.
Our room was a decent size, with one queen bed and one single, a TV, fridge, microwave, in-room wifi, table and two chairs. The décor was eclectic, but everything was clean, and the bed, though squeaky, was comfortable. I wasn’t inconvenienced by the tiny bathroom as I’m a fairly small person, but showering might be a challenge if you’re tall because the showerhead is located unusually far down the wall and can’t be adjusted.
Driving from Forks, you’ll go right past the motel as you enter Port Angeles. It’s at the crest of a hill, an Albertson’s supermarket on the left and All-View on the right. The view – the all-view, presumably – is over downtown Port Angeles, with the Straits of Juan de Fuca in the distance, but visible only if you stand at the roadside. Not a criticism; just a comment. We were just looking for a convenient overnight stop, not a room with a view.
Our AARP rate was $64 plus tax, which seems to be very favourable for Port Angeles at this time of year.
