This was booked out of necessity. We just needed a place to stay one night. Everything was what I’d expected. A little run down motel but clean and usable. One complaint, it was over priced. One plus, the elk in the grass when we pulled in.

Great location for Mount Rainier NP. Local shop nearby but not much else. Rooms were really good, big and clean, and the air conditioning was good. Only had 1 dryer and 2 washing machines which was not enough for such a big property. The laundry room could have done with a bit of a clean.

It was a little older. Needs some minor touch ups. Air conditioner was way too loud. Difficult to sleep when it was running and had to have it running as it was too warm without it.

Everything was great except for the dining options. It was a small town with few places to eat. Also the TV reception was awful. We couldn’t watch anything without constant interruptions or complete loss of service.

There were 2 screws sticking out about 1/4 inch from the middle of the floor entry and I stepped on them twice injuring my foot. I told the staff about them and they already knew about the problem, but never bothered to fix them. The place is old and a bit shabby, but probably on par for the area. The shower head needs replacing. Very few outlets to plug adapters into. But they do provide outlets to charge EVs, though only at 120v.

Watching the herd of elk out our back window was a treat. The property is quiet and spacious. The outside of the building could have used a power wash but everything inside was clean and appealing with rustic cabin style decor. I would stay again. Be aware that breakfast choices in town are limited so breakfast would have been a nice extra.

While we were within normal Checkin times, we had to wait 5 or so minutes for the gentleman to arrive at the desk. Appeared he was next door at the gas station getting his snacks. He was not hospitable at all. Bathtub still had hair and dirt in it, and what appeared to be the rag to be used to clean said tub was clean, dry, and sitting on the edge of the tub.

Staff was nice, but for the fact that they tried to give us a room with two queen beds, when we paid for a room with a King bed. It should not matter to staff why my partner and I want a King sized bed; we paid for one. Also, you can hear everyone walking around the property. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper.

When I called to inquire about future reservations I was told they were full. Went on Expedia to find that that was not true. When checking in...manager not friendly at all btw and after speaking with other guests I was not alone in my opinion. I mentioned that to him and was told that he didn’t know why that was said but it doesn't matter she has less than a week left. The laundry room has two broken washing machines and one broken dryer and only one working washer and one dryer. Definitely not enough for the guests. The rooms were just okay, shower head sprayed everywhere and got water all over the floor, the bathroom sink was clogged and there were gnats in the room. Rules made for guests to abide by, do not apply to the resident dog. Tje guests dog must be on a leash at all times and you are supposed to pick up behind your pet. All very reasonable and expected but the managers dog roams freely and relieves herself without anything being picked up. I will not stay there again, overpriced for accommodations with basically zero amenities, management rude, grumpy and clearly doesn’t want to be there. The only positive is that the cleaning ladies and young lady that multitasks by being office representative, cleaning lady etc were all very friendly and helpful.
