All in all, this is a great place to stay.but if I have any negative observation, it would be that some folks at the front desk are not very friendly. It's a short 2-3 minute drive into downtown Ocean Shores for shopping, restaurants and other activities. Anything you need is onsite.the casino, a small shop with gifts and snacks, a couple of bars, a sports bar/restaurant, and a full restaurant. The first time we stayed in a suite that was absolutely amazing, so were a little worried about staying in a regular room.but were not disappointed! The room is modern and very well appointed with a nice gas fireplace and a gorgeous view of the ocean. This is our second trip to the Quinault and we loved it. Happy to give it 4/5 but wanted to mention what I did. The pool was great though, and like I said, great room overall. Is letting smokers smoke that much really worth the bad reviews and experiences people report? Why can't they just create a smoking room or a deck with a view of the water? Either that or improve your air conditioning system. I spent (aka lost) $60 in the slot machines, so didn't really enjoy that, and when we came back to our room, we both reeked of cigarette smoke, even though we generally avoided smokers. It was still a great view, and deer viewing in the dunes was cool besides. This wasn't a big issue for us, but because the rooms are advertised with the fireplaces, I wanted to mention that we had the same issue. It blocks the view, and we couldn't get it to work. I read reviews citing fireplace issues (poor placement and not working) and ours was sadly no different. For a well-appointed ocean-view room in a casino hotel, the price was very fair. We got the couples deal that came with free coffee and pastries.
