Woodmark Hotel, Yacht Club & Spa

The Woodmark is an outstanding hotel in every way -- far outperforming the plethora of ridiculously overpriced and mediocre chain hotels in the area. The rooms are upscale, beautiful, fully-functional, and have gorgeous views across Lake Washington. Even better -- the rooms are very quiet. No slamming doors like in the chain hotels. No hearing people talking through the walls. Just peace and quiet. Also, from the very first moments when I arrived, the staff was friendly and went out of their way to be helpful and make me feel welcome. I've stayed in more than a dozen hotels in the area, and there's no question I will return to the Woodmark.

My small family visited Woodmark Hotel Labor day weekend. We were treated like royalty! The staff was incredible! Each request we had during our trip was addressed and full filled immediately! The cleaning staff in particular was exceptional! The view was stunning. The list of positive things we experienced is very long and you will just need to experience this place for yourself!!

Beautiful hotel on the east side of Lake Washington. Been staying here for years including the Woodmark holding our daughter’s wedding reception. Two restaurants within steps of the hotel. Clean lovely rooms. Only 2 complaints - 1 is there is no bar/lounge in the hotel- there used to be one pre- Covid but it is now space used for banquet department. -and 2- I’ve probably stayed at The Woodmark over 15 times including UW graduations, a huge wedding reception and multiple other events but I am asked every time I check in, “ welcome to the Woodmark. Is this your first time staying with us”? 🤦‍♀️ Stay in a room with a balcony- worth the extra $. Quiet, gorgeous- great location.

As others have stated the taxes and fees are exorbitant; $25 to self park, $25 resort fee, $43 hotel tax. Definitely nickel and dimed the entire stay. Placing a $400 hold on my card for "incidentals' on top of this was a surprise - I'll never stay here again.

The Woodmark Hotel boasts a truly stunning location right on Lake Washington. Our room had beautiful views of the water, and we loved waking up to the fresh lake breeze every morning. The firepits down by the dock were a lovely touch, and we enjoyed relaxing there in the evenings. However, we were disappointed with the housekeeping service during our 3-night stay. Despite requesting our room to be cleaned on the second day, we returned to find it untouched. We contacted the front desk, and while they were apologetic and offered to send someone up right away, however nobody ever arrived. This occured both days during our visit. Overall, The Woodmark has the potential to be an exceptional hotel. The location is truly unbeatable, and the staff we interacted with were friendly and professional. However, the housekeeping issue definitely detracted from our experience. If clean rooms are a priority for you, you might want to consider contacting the hotel in advance to confirm housekeeping procedures.
