Edgewick Inn — Hotel in North Bend

This review is collaborative with my husband. We spent one night here in July 2019 so I could attend a concert at Snoqulamie Casino.||||When I reserved online the reviews I read were through Booking.com and I saw enough positive that I was like - "Oh, OK. This seems alright". Don't trust those....always check multiple sources. Lesson 1.||||We arrived at the hotel and it was obvious that it was an older property, but let's not judge a book by its cover, right? We went inside to check in and the desk clerk was nowhere to be found for a couple of minutes. Then a woman came out to the desk and began the check-in process. They do things the old fashioned way, no computer check-in, it's handwritten, etc. The process was reasonably efficient. She gave us directions to our room which is when we discovered there was no elevator. The 2 flights of stairs were not excessive, except when you are carrying a suitcase and other luggage and have a knee that doesn't like stairs. ||||The hotel is in various states of renovation in different areas, including rooms. The flooring in the hallway looks newer. I think we stayed in a somewhat recently-renovated room.||||There are security cameras in common areas, the building seems secure with outside motion-activated lights and locked doors from the outside, although we did discover one of the doors propped open at one point, probably for the convenience of another guest or a worker. It would be nice if they added the ability to swipe your room key to enter these doors, because it would make for a shorter trip to/from your vehicle/room depending on the room location.||||Although there are smoking rooms available, we did not notice any smoke smell which was nice. We stayed on the 2nd floor and our room had a little balcony which was nice. There was no security bar for the sliding door, although I suppose that since it was on the 2nd floor it wasn't as much of an issue as if we'd been on the first floor.||||The room decor is cobbled together and plain; there was one painting hanging on a wall; I think it would look nice to have some other art over the beds. Or paint the wall there an accent color. The carpeting of the room was utilitarian but seemed clean enough. There was a table and 2 chairs, a 6-drawer dresser, a small fridge and microwave. A flat-screen TV was attached to the wall over the dresser. There was also a mirror on the wall near the door. ||||The alarm clock on the nightstand was not plugged in; the box spring of the bed I slept in hit where the outlet was, which knocked the plug out and bent the plug of the radio. I did manage to unbend it and get it plugged back in, but the outlet was loose and a little scary to use. ||||The bathroom flooring looked newer and the bathroom was clean, but the fiberglass tub had cigarette burns on the edge from who knows when. It was probably a smoking room at one point, but it did not smell like smoke. It has an exhaust fan that we thought did not work but my husband said it ran when the shower was running. Speaking of, he said the shower was VERY low flow. The towels were rough and more along the lines of what i would use for a cleaning rag or shop towel or something like that. Not bath quality.||||The beds. We had a room with 2 queens as they do not have rooms with king beds. I liked the gray comforters, and the sheets were soft. A nice touch was a soft cushy gray blanket between the comforter and sheets, so it was warm, which was good because I like to keep the room chilly and the newer-looking heating/cooling unit worked well in that regard. Each bed had 2 standard pillows. So the beds looked nice....but....||||Comfort was non-existent. The queen I slept in was lumpy, my husband's bed was firm. Both of us had sore backs this morning. It was difficult for either of us to stay asleep. My bed was very noisy/creaky any time I moved. Not a good sleeping experience. New beds are in order.||||My husband went down for breakfast in the morning and both pots of coffee were empty, but the desk clerk told him to come back in 5 minutes for coffee she was making. He went back in 10 and it was made but not yet poured into the pump carafes. Breakfast consisted of mini muffins and small pastries. There was powdered creamer and sugar for the coffee.||||We paid $140 with tax for the room. I feel this was excessive and should have been at least $20 less, or maybe around $100. It's not a place I would recommend unless you really really REALLY need a room right there. They're trying but not...

I was doing an ancestry search for my family members here in the Snoqualmie Valley & decided to choose The Edgewick Inn for my two week base operations.

This worked out beautifully as the Inn has a nice country setting with a view of the Cascade mountains as well as a view of Mount Si.

I had easy, convenient access to The Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum where one of the administrators, Cristy Lake provided a great deal of information on my family & the area going back before the 1860's. Ruth Pickering at The Fall City Historical Society is also a great individual who is very knowledgeable and well informed about the people, the area and it's history.

This Inn is within close proximity to the Iron Horse State Park, Olallie State Park, Twin Falls Natural Area, Toll Gate Farm Park & many other points of interest including Rattlesnake Lake. (The name is misleading as there are no rattlesnakes nor any other venomous snakes in NW Washington.)

Country Pride Restaurant across the street has good breakfasts, a decent, varied menu as well as a buffet. There is also a Popeye's Chicken, a Burger and Shake Joint & four convenience stores within walking distance.

For snow ski enthusiasts; there are 9 ski lodges within 15 miles of The Edgewick Inn which makes this Inn a very convenient location after a day of fun on the slopes.

For frame of reference, some of the rooms on the second floor are much nicer than the rooms on the first floor, many have a balcony. Originally, I chose first floor room 111 as I didn't want to lug my baggage up the stairs. There is no elevator. After inspecting room 111, I discovered that it needed some renovation & declined this habitation. The manager, Lisa very kindly offered me a room on the second floor. I checked this out before bringing my bags in, found it to be VERY clean with a large flat screen TV, refrigerator & microwave. The double rooms are MUCH nicer and come with better amenities.

After staying one night, I knew that this would be a great place to stay for the next two weeks.

I informed the housekeeping staff that I would not need my room cleaned for my time spent there as I am very careful & meticulous with my surroundings & that I only needed fresh towels & supplies. They were very kind & accommodating.

The reservation desk associates, Shana & Yul who work with manager Lisa are hospitable, considerate & very helpful.

My time spent at The Edgewick Inn was comfortable and enjoyable. For those looking for a luxury hotel, The Salish Lodge is available at $350 a night. For anyone looking for a decent, clean, comfortable, affordable, friendly place to stay, I definitely recommend the double rooms here at The...
