    You know, for the price, charm, location, and the friendly, friendly staff, this place deserves a 4 star. Sure the rooms are outdated and could use additional upkeep, but you can tell the owners and staff do their best to keep the charms on this Dutch style hotel. As others have said, it's really a motel but the outside Dutch decorations including the working windmill, it's worth the stay. Sure you need a dead bolt and room darkening curtains. The breakfast is just packaged foods like hard boiled eggs, box cereals, nurtrigrain bars, yogurt and milk in cartons. The beds were super comfy, thank you for a nice stay!

    If you like the smell of mold, your feet sticking to a filthy floor and getting treated rudely by staff you must stay here. See photos of dust balls on light fixtures and vents, cracked walls, cracked tiles, carpet stains. The worst was when we took a washcloth and gently swiped it over the carpet a few times- it turned black. Or maybe the questionable leftover pubes by the bath tub? It's frankly a toss up. No wonder we woke up congested. The jetted tub was a nice feature and we reserved the upgraded room for it. But, you had to refill it five times to wait for the water heater to reheat and put out warm water. So plan for 75 minutes to set up your relaxing bath. We had cancelled our refundable reservation from Expedia because the gentleman at the front desk told us on the phone they were more flexible with cancellations and had better rates. We could not make it the first night but needed an hour before check-in to change for a wedding so we called the front desk again and a nice lady told us not to cancel until the day of in case our plans changed, and that they were flexible since we booked through them. Another nice young man we called at the front desk to notify we would not be arriving until the 2nd day told us "no problem" we would be charged for one night and we were good to check-in early to change. Upon check-in we noticed we were charged for both nights and the rude staff smirked and told us that was not the hotel's policy and he didn't know why those people would say that since they had worked there a long time. It would have been ok if he had just explained it kindly instead of making us feel stupid. He then cut off questions about check out and curtly said he would get to that after signing and initialing that we understood the rules and we would "owe him $95 if we lost his keys." At checkout it was a pleasant gentlemen who said regardless of the policy, it should have been honored and taken care of...he didn't do it either. Want to stay in a decrepid dank room where you need shoes to protect your feet from filth? Want to get treated poorly by rude or staff who don't know policies and make false assurances? Then Auld Holland is the place to stay!

    Overall, it's actually a pretty decent hotel. Sure, it's dated and Dutch themed... But for the most part, it's pretty clean. I think it's the old adage, you get what you pay for. So if your expectations are a budget style hotel, your expectations will be met.

    Cozy Cabin

    I travel a fair amount for work and thought this place place looked like a nice way to support a local spot but after checking in, it was evident that this is the type of place you see in horror movies where you just feel unsettled about what you're going to get. The staff was nice enough but the Cozy Cabin was scary to say the least and it honestly made me feel unsafe and exposed. I understand they advertise cozy but the small heating unit installed in the wall was the only way to warm the space. It was either freeze or be over heated because I wasn't about to open any windows, especially since they looked out at an old work shed with a number of old Trucks parked near by. I would never let my wife stay in a place like this by herself. I had to move a side table to access a power outlet only to find old sauce packets and napkins left behind making it evident that they do the bare minimum to clean their space. I know the space has its history but unfortunately missed the mark of being quaint and a relaxing place to stay. I'm fortunate I didn't spend more than I did.

    Auld Motel. My husbands rental Porsche GT3RS he could see from the window from our room:)

    The Auld was a budget friendly hotel that worked perfect for what we needed which was a hotel in this area while on a short road trip. Location was great for Deception Pass and exploring. Definitely an older hotel that hasn't been updated but was clean and bed was comfortable and staff were super friendly. My husband could stare at his dream car (aka out Zadarts rental) from our room which he loved. We never tried the Included breakfast and our fireplace didn't work. But no complaints, the room decor made me giggle a bit with the style but it must be just how it is with the look of the hotel.

    Room 102 "clean" carpet!

    SUPER friendly people and great location. Because of the people, I have a hard time posting this review. The photo was taken at the end of our 15 hour stay, but basically the only difference is that we slept in the beds, so they are not made. Let's just say, we did not go barefoot in the room. There is a push button handle lock on the motel door. When you are inside, there is the ability to use the deadbolt, but it is beyond me why only a push button lock is the way the door is secured when the renter is not in the room, especially when the deadbolt has a keyed option. When I opened the door of room 102, I was SHOCKED at the condition of the stained carpet. SHOCKED! I understand I only paid $70+ in an off season for a tourist area, but come on--Put a vinyl floor or something other than carpet in that room. At least our bathroom, the fridge, the microwave and the sheets were clean. All the furniture is circa 1950's, but not nice 1950's furniture. The chair seats are stained and the "wood" for the rest of the pressed wood furniture has water damage. Please begin to charge people more and update your motel so it feels clean. I do agree with another reviewer that the heater made the room HOT or COLD, because unfortunately it was either on or off. The exterior door had a 1/4" gap at the threshold, so besides hearing the traffic driving by less than 30 yards away, there was light...and I am confident, bugs in the summer are welcomed into the room. But I will digress and revert back to the nice employees and manageable price for the 2 stars. DO NOT expect a value for what you paid. It should have been at least $30 less for the condition it is in. Until the motel is updated, I would not stay again nor recommend anyone does. I am sorry.

    Mold. Everywhere in the bathrooms
    Sophia M.

    I rarely leave reviews and unfortunately the status of the bathroom was enough to draw attention to it. The bathrooms are this location are unfortunately moldy and the smell of the mold permeates throughout the entire room. It's similar to smelling a damp sponge that's been unattended for a few weeks. The amount of mold (shown in the pictures) is a health hazard and I hope this establishment takes steps to address this.

    We stayed recently for a night here and it was a good experience. The room was neat and clean. The beds were firm and comfortable, the restroom is updated and has nice heated floors. Do note due to its close proximity to Whitbey Island's Naval Air base, the morning and nights may be filled with lots of fighter jet noise in the skies. The staff were all welcoming and always eager to serve our needs. The breakfast is continental but they had an abundant variety of bagels, breads, jams & jif peanut butter . Breakfast also included hard boiled eggs, cereal, juices, yogurt, fig newtons,oatmeal, granola bars, fruits, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The only hiccup i had was my room Wifi voucher code didn't work past midnight but they gave me the next days code in the morning. The price here is reasonable and i would recommend it as a place to stay in the area.

    One of the worst places I've ever stayed and I've stayed in a lot of places at 63 years old. Where to start.....the bed skirt has food on it, the bathroom is very small, no place to put your items, the shower walls have huge cracks. The light fixtures are from the 50's, the bathroom mirror has someone's toothpaste all over it. I went to the front desk to ask for a blanket and they have no extras ! No iron or ironing board, and the closet is musky smelling, and the carpet is gross. The wood is rotting on the trim. Don't waste your money !!

    The heating switch that didn'twork. All the vents were taped up or absolutely filthy anyway.
    Leena C.

    Do not stay here This inn's regard for safety, privacy and hygiene are absolutely disgusting. My boyfriend and I stayed here a while thinking it was a nice cheap option. and with the pandemic coming on we were struggling. We first stayed in the hotel area before my boyfriend started work and before they moved us into a poor excuse of a long term living trailer. While we were in the hotel we had multiple occasions of hotel workers and housekeepers watching us leave our room, and come in while we were, or they thought, were not there. (The do not disturb sign was on the door at all times as I am anal about other people cleaning and going through my things) each time they just let themselves in the did not clean as they claimed so when confronted. they were obviously and blatantly checking out and looking through our stuff. After this they finally moved into a trailer in the very back that we we requested for a month before actually getting in because they were "cleaning it spotless and fixing it up". But When we arrived at night it was freezing, the heating system did not work and they left us nothing to keep us warm, we had no cable, internet, working stove or oven, toaster, the place was absolutely filthy with black mold and dirt everywhere, and the maids left all their very old smelly supplies in the corner of the dining room with most of the blinds ripped down. Every time we called we got "I don't know" or no answer. The first week here our plumbing went out and used toilet water filled our tub. We couldn't get ahold of anyone for days. And then an incident after this almost had me calling the police. One day two men I do not know knocked and I did not answer as I do not recognize these two full grown men. I proceed to try and get some rest as I was very sick from the mold(literally in and out of the hospital), but around 20 minutes later I hear someone unlocking and opening my front door, letting themselves in. I peer out of my bedroom and see a large man just standing in my trailer. I was literally so frightened and shaking, wanting to cry, my heart was beating out of my chest. I walked out to him just staring at me. This man doesn't even tell me who he is just states he needs to look at the fire extinguisher (he didn't) and "sorry, no answer". I hid in my room scared lifeless as this man just stood in the living room looking around. They thought nobody was home and just let themselves illegally, no notice, into the place I resided. They did not preform maintenance and there was no illegal activity's taking part for them to just walk in. Just a bad excuse to come in and look through. What if something had happened or I was sleeping undressed?? Fast forward and we're packed up and leaving, about to head 3 hours to our new place. We head to the store to get snacks and my grandmas to say goodbye. Afterwords heading to get gas. After a few hours at my grandmas I go to ring my card and it does not work. Confused because I was sure I had money for gas I check my account. They illegally charged me 4 times all different amounts trying to see how much money they could get from me after I left. So I headed back and confronted them. They argued they were allowed to charge us after we left but after asking to see where that rule is stated or written down, admitted what they did was illegal, and then waited two days before putting the money back on my card. They refuse to give me the owners number and neither he or the manger will call me or get back to me. Do not stay here. The most shady disrespectful place I have ever been. There's so much more than this but I could write for days it's ridiculous.

I presume that much deodorizing spray is used because it is a dog-friendly hotel & hotel staff assumes more is better. Stay away if you have asthma, allergies, or if you don't like to breathe chemicals for hours on end. All appliances are new and seem to be in fully working condition. My concern comes from the moldy smell coming from the dishwasher - the picture I include herein shows the mold and who knows what that was growing for a very long time in the filter. That means the dishes washed would have the same residue/mold. All staff were extremely friendly. Note they only accept dogs - no cats. Chinese restaurant next door is absolutely delicious. Chris' bakery a mile down the road makes great donuts, muffins, cookies, & bread.

It was perfect, and would be perfect for those with kids too. There are plenty of easily accessible trails with great views right out the front door. The kitchen was big and well stocked with cooking supplies, but we only ever used it to cook breakfast. We would often drive into nearby Coupeville for lunch and dinner, and there were plenty of great things to eat there! It's also within a very short drive of the trails at Eby's Landing. The views are amazing. It was still cool when we visited, but we could see how it could get hot. You don't really need A/C up in the Northwest, but a fan would be nice! We're used to sleeping with a fan, so we had to use a fan app on our phone because it's so quiet out there. The WiFi was good for what little we used it for (checking email and facebook mostly). Saw a lot of wildlife, including a mama deer and her two fawns. Overall, we had a very great time and hope to come back.
