What is your pet policy?
We are a pet friendly hotel as long as your pet is hotel friendly! Sometimes pups don’t like the new sounds or smells of our historic space. If your pet ends up disturbing other guests, we may ask you to find other accommodations.
We have a two dog max, no barkers, and no aggressive dogs. If your travel buddy is feline, shoot us an email to check before booking.
We do charge a non-refundable $50.00 pet fee for fur-balls and muddy paws. Let us know if you need extra towels for your pet as we would prefer to keep room towels for human hands. We ask that pets not sleep on our beds so inquire about our rooms with pet cubbies. Should you chose to bring a pet into a non-pet-friendly room, we will assess a $200 cleaning fee. Owners are responsible for dogs behavior and poops. Poop bags provided.
What’s it going to be like staying in the oldest hotel in Washington State?
An adventure! You can think of Tokeland as a big fancy barn; plenty of isolation from the world at large, but not so much from your fellow guests. The walls can be thin, but the Brooklinen sheets on the comfy new mattresses will keep you sleeping cozy until the smell of breakfast comes wafting under your door. If you are lucky enough to be here during a winter storm, the walls might creak and sway, all part of the charm and experience of staying in this one-of-a-kind hotel. Welcome to Tokeland!
When is your restaurant open?
We serve breakfast and lunch from 8am-2pm and supper from 4pm-8pm. An automatic gratuity of 20% is added for all parties.
If you’re coming with a group or planning an event on property, we offer private breakfasts, luncheons and dinners on request.
