The Lodge at St. Edward State Park

"We loved this venue for my sister's wedding, it was a perfect atmosphere and location! Excellent ample parking, fantastic lighting for photographs, amazing service. Loved it so much, we already booked it for our upcoming anniversary. Thank you to all the staff here, you made our celebration very special :)"

"The hotel itself is beautiful and so are the rooms and amenities. The service staff was young and seemed to be fairly fresh, so a lot of questions didn't have great answers, simply because they didn't know. We were awoken at 7 am by the fire alarm and called to ask what was going on and they stated "that has happened before and we weren't sure if would happen again" which didn't seem like a great response, given the situation. They assured us engineering would look at it, but I requested a new room in the off-chance it happened again. The staff did help us quickly for that request, which I appreciated. The gym and spa were a lot of fun, and the grounds are beautiful. But for the money, you expect a bit more. Solid 3/5 stars."

"It was one of those curious choices where you know absolutely nothing about the destination other than it sounded different and interesting. The appearance in the ad made one scratch their head- A Monastery conversion? The surprise was complete! If you can imagine a beautiful venue with history, art, incredible grounds, bars and restaurants ... What a delight! Our room looked out onto a beautiful field/meadow. The food was so worth not going out to eat. The room was perfectly appointed and it was obvious everything was near new. The Library... I can go on and on. This one is a "not to miss" - We'll be back when we visit Seattle again to be sure! (Don't be surprised by the directions, it does take a bit to get there. It's worth every mile!) Didn't have time to walk the beautiful trails ..."

"Came for a girl's weekend and everything-- the room, the food, the spa, the grounds, the SERVICE-- was incredible. The massage therapists were so professional and even spent extra time with my pregnant friend consulting her on home massage techniques! Above and beyond! The drinks were unique and tasty and the food was delicious. We loved walking the halls and looking at the art, walking the trails down to the waterfront, and relaxing in the library with a board game. Can't wait to come back!"

"I visited this hotel as part of a group trip and would start by saying the location is stunning. The restaurants and bars are incredible, and the staff is friendly. The rooms feel a bit corporate, and was excited about the library, but was disappointed in the experience - not well designed, felt like a games room at a nursing home, could definitely be more cozy and comfortable. The outdoor area also feels like it has a lot of potential, but missed the mark - overall design falls a little flat."
