Salish Lodge & Spa

I wish I could say otherwise but for the money, our visit was very disappointing. This place if for couples only, in my opinion. There is no place to sit and spend time with family as we hoped to do and the prices for food and drink are way high. Example ... $20 per cocktail drinks and we tried sitting in the lobby for a drink, the bar area was locked off, and there are only two seats on either side of the fireplace. We asked if there was a temp chair for the other two of us and we were told no. We had to sit on the benches in the restaurant waiting area. Ridiculous. The restaurant doesn't open until 8:00 am for breakfast ... late for a family of early risers. There were quite a few incidents of general not great service when we were paying rates which would indicate great service.

I love Salish Lodge and the Snoqualmie area. If you want a spot to recharge this is the spot. If you are traveling on business and are not at the Lodge for an event - it gets a bit tricky if you are not already ensconced in your room. I also found the staff I came into contact with super young. Cool to see the young diving in and working, but I am from the Events industry so hospitality at the forefront of my mind when working. Got a lot of shoulder shrugs from the youngsters!
