Scenery is great. Right on the water, and we saw several bald eagles. Room is rustic with a full kitchen. It was very peaceful, with quiet time at 10:00 pm.

This is basically a fishing community this time of year. Lodging was right at the docks and had a rustic feel of an authentic fishing village. Liked see the boats come and go

Really impressed with this little property. Pros: - Room had everything we needed. - Includes a little kitchen with dishes and everything. I can see this being a little home away from home for fishermen or others. - Great price. - Location was perfect for what we needed for a road trip through the Olympic Penisula - centrally located. Cons: - It got really hot in the room. We kept all the windows open in the room and just kept our curtains closed the entire time. That made it better but still quite toasty. - No tub, just a shower - The shower also had a leaky faucet so we had to be creative with how to deal with the drippy drippy water noise.

We enjoyed our night there, Sekiu was a very cute little town and the marina was nice too. For what we paid, we wished the kitchen would have been slightly more equipped (bigger bowls, larger pots, drying rack for the dishes). The room had a light musty smell, maybe airing it out from time to time would help, but maybe that is just part of being located 50 foot from the sea. The staff was very nice and checkin was easy. Overall, would have no problem recommending this motel for a short stay.

Van Riper's is a quaint, older motel used mainly by people staying there on a fishing vacation from what I can tell. The bed was comfortable, it was very quiet overnight, and we had nothing to complain about. It's older, and that shows, but everything worked and it was clean. There's a restaurant just across the road and up a bit, By The Bay Cafe, with astonishingly excellent food. Had one of the best omelettes of my life for breakfast there.

It was very nice. I wasn’t expecting much. But it was very clean and comfortable. I was running late for check in. I had spoken to the gentleman and he actually meet me in the parking lot and assisted me after hours to check in and make it easy for me in the morning.

It’s a basic accommodation. No frills like jetted tubs and cozy bathrobes. But it’s clean. Bed comfortable. Small clean shower with good pressure. Coffee maker, fridge and microwave and 2 ring stove. Typically where fisherman stay. As a single female traveler, I would stay again. Ideal if needing a place while hiking in the area. Great bay cafe nearby with Salish Sea views. Surprisingly good tho basic.

This is not a 5 star resort, but that's not why we go here. They cater to fishermen and they provide exactly what we need. A reasonable priced place to stay, basic conviences, supplies we need and friendly knowledgable people. My 1st choice when I come to town.

Property was amazing, and the small kitchen in the room was nice. I was there to visit someone in the correctional facility. The only thing I had an issue with was the bed. It was not very soft/comfortable.
