    Avoid! Followed the directions but never made it. Go to the Arco station right off the freeway instead.

    Deer Park Loop - One of the restroom buildings.

    Deer Park Loop

    The Deer Park Loop Rest Area on Highway 101 heading Westbound is a nice place to stop, use the…read morerestroom, stretch ones legs, get a glimpse of the Olympic Mountains, and learn a little bit about the area. It is located just past the Deer Park Loop interchange. There are a number of small restroom buildings with both male and female restrooms. The toilets themselves are pit toilets, no running water here so make sure to have some hand sanitizer (I also carry toilet paper in the trunk of my car just in case). There is small vehicle, large vehicle (for example semi-trucks), and vehicle with trailer parking available. A large grassy lawn stretches out behind the restrooms, a good place to take a short walk and stretch one's legs. Informational signs are also posted at this rest area. One of the signs provides context on how the Olympic Mountains got their name. Another contains a map of the Northern Olympic Peninsula with things such as camping, ranger stations, and lighthouses marked on the map. A great place to stop for a rest and get one's bearings before continuing on one's way.

    This is a bare bones rest area, but when the call of nature compels you, you have to answer! There…read moreis a row of pit toilets - no running water, but they were well maintained and stocked with toilet paper. No vending machines or other amenities otherwise. If you're a history buff, there's a historical marker here that described the naming of Mt. Olympus (it was originally named Sierra Nevada de Santa Rosalia!). There's also an informational panel with a map of the northern Olympic peninsula with points of interest if you aren't familiar with the area or are looking for additional stops on your journey. If you want to stretch your legs or walk your dog, there's a small trail near the back of this rest area that abuts some woods. It's away from the busy roadway so a bit quieter back there.

    Quality/Quantity - Easy in and out. Well, we really came here for the gas…read more Which was less expensive than expected?!?! "Google" said that OR had less expensive gas, but that is not true compared to here. See my OR Costco Gas review. I also think before I leave OR, that I will stock up on paper supplies, just to save on the sales tax from my states NV & CA. Decent local beer selections, see pictures. Excessive taxes on alcohol, see pictures. Anyway, inside my wife bought a few things. I did not even look. Ambiance - Consistent. Departments - Gas, food court, pharmacy, tire center, optical, hear aid and a CAR WASH. The only other Costcos that I have seen a car wash are in Scottsdale AZ, USA and Seattle WA, USA. Service - Self service. Price - $4.89 a gallon, less expensive than expected. And whatever my wife bought. The car wash was $7.99. And the cars did NOT leave dry?!?! Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1991. Congrats on all your success since 1976, since Price Club. Now you are the 5th largest retailer in the world and #10 on the Fortune 500. 804 warehouses worldwide, with 558 in the US. 1980 - IPO. 1993 - Price Club and Costco merger. 1997 - Rebrand all locations to Costco. 2024 - 132 million members.

    I love this Costco! There wasn't a line for gas, and there are so many local fresh foods. I bought…read morea big container of fresh large Oregon blueberries for $3.99 and super ripe and juicy Washington nectarines ($9.50). I also loved the selection of Washington wines, including a screw top for only $5.99. I wish I could call this my home Costco since we don't have local goods at ours.

Now if you know me at all, you KNOW I love fresh air. At many hotels, I 100% loathe the act of desperately sucking my "fresh air" through some dusty window air conditioner thingy, but in 22B, glory be! I can open fully an old-wood-framed window and lay here gazing at the green leaves of a tree swaying in the breeze as I inhale copious lungfuls of the oxygen I love so much. In addition to free air, free breakfast is also promised, which is pretty normal in hotels, but get this...drumroll...FREE DINNER and a drink! We, unfortunately went out and wasted our money on bad food at a restaurant (Dosa Paragon...read the review), so don't know how the free dinner was here. My expectations are reasonable, so if they have coffee and bread at breakfast, we are good! If they have a waffle spinner,that would be typical but surprising here. Yes, it's a little noisy, but not as much as I feared for being in the heart of a bustling downtown. Stay here and get room 22B! Update: Excellent breakfast and there is a communal kitchen! No waffle spinner.

    I've stayed here a total of 4 times now for backpacking trips and always had a great experience!…read moreFree breakfast and dinner included every day with vegan options! One free beverage included per day also. You can store luggage for $5/day. Locks and towels also free to borrow with a deposit. Staff are super friendly. Excellent location with everything you need in walking distance. You also get a 10% discount at Robinson's Outdoor Store when you stay here.
