The property clearly exists for fishermen. While the owner is very pleasant and chatty about local attractions the property falls short for “sightseers” especially for the price. The walls are very thin and the guests next door checked in after 10pm and stomped and thumped around and I could easily make out their conversation. I will say that the bed was very comfortable!

Property is set in a quaint town with very nice and hospitable people. The view from our unit was spectacular. Looking at the water across to Canada and fishing boats on the water was a very scenic view.

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

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.

6/10 Good

Pros: unbeatable location for the harbor, clean bedding, helpful staff. Cons: decor and room fixtures appear original from the 1960s–70s (compact kitchenette, older bathroom), which we found uncomfortable at the rate we paid. There were very few photos online — I’d recommend the host post recent images and clarify which rooms are renovated. Helpful for: fishermen or guests seeking a no-frills stay. Not ideal for: travelers seeking modern ‘coastal charm.’ I expected a lot more charm for the rate I paid.

This is a basic hotel with nothing fancy. Our double-bed room had a kitchenette, breakfast table and very small shower. It is in a very small fishing village.

Enjoyed our visit. Beautiful sunrise, fun to watch the fishing boats come and go. We stopped here as a midway point for exploring the peninsula. Value was good, we had a great room upstairs at the end facing marina. Kitchenette that we forgot to prep to use. A fishing town, so not fancy but was comfortable, clean and friendly.

This room is small but cozy. It has a kitchen with everything you need to cook. It is close to the water. We will be back

10/10 Exceptional

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.

6/10 Good

Our 2 small rooms (bedroom and kitchenette) were very clean and appeared recently painted/decorated. Each room has a window; each window looks at another nearby part of the hotel, despite being only 100 feet from the bay. There are few lodging options in the area, outside the summer season. There is also an unexpected "reservation fee." Consider your choices carefully.

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.

We did not see any staff except the maids for about 10 mins. The space was very small, but thats ok. We spent our time sightseeing n just used the space to sleep. The sunrise n sunset views are beautiful n majestic. Everything around this small town closed really early, around 5:00pm. Get everything you need before then or bring it with you. The best thing is it is right next to the water.

Very clean & cozy

I was hesitant when we pulled up to the property. It's older and it a little fishing bay. But the room was VERY clean, and I am picky about cleanliness. It's older, so there is rust and weird caulk in places but it was so clean. It is also really cozy. I wanted to go somewhere else with a bigger bed for me, my husband, but it was fine. The TV is in the kitchen, so no watching TV in bed, but it was really nice to be at a place that felt comfy. I would stay here again.

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.

4/10 Fair

This property was great unless you have kids. We had a 2y/o and everyone there was up at 4am yelling and stomping around and the floors were paper thin. The people above us woke up fighting and then loud trucks at 5am it was awful. But very clean hotel.
