No frills basic hotel room, contains everything you need including Wi-Fi. Nice people and good price with a comfy lodge for continental breakfast. There's not many food options in town, but there is a supermarket across the street.

We stayed three nights in a room with Queen bed. The room was spacious for the two of us and the bathroom, with bath, was great. The view out back was across an allotment where deer came to graze and the entire lodge is set back from the road. At night the road noise was not significant and I am... More

We used to stay in this facility every year in the past and were always pleased with it. We had not stayed here for at least 6 years until this Summer. We are still very pleased with it. The room was very large and very clean and the bed was good. A nice large flat screen TV. The management was... More

Searched online for a motel near the Mt. Rainier National Park. When we called a week prior, they had one remaining room for only $77! That was a fortunate find for us. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and hospitable, making our stay one to remember. Only one negative - if you like your news fair and... More

We've stayed here twice while snowboarding at nearby White Pass. The property is clean and the staff very helpful. The rooms are sized comfortably but could certainly use an update. We will certainly stay here again.

We were doing a month-long tour of the Pacific Northwest, and wanted to return to Mt. Rainier at the end of our trip after visiting Glacier National Park. This was actually in June 2010, but that was not a choice in the drop down menu. We stumbled on Packwood without knowing anything about it and were pleasantly surprised. The Cowlitz... More

It was roomy and very clean but due for an update. The staff was extremely informative and helpful. The best part....the elk bed down right outside in the back. I would absolutely stay here again.

This hotel is right on the highway that goes to Mt. Rainier, on the main road. It is your standard motel, clean and well located. It is the closest motel we could find to the south entrance of Rainier, there really is no other reason to stay here.

Friendly and helpful staff, spacious and clean rooms, great location if you want to visit Mt. Rainier NP. Second floor rooms are very quiet but no elevator in hotel.

The attitude of management did not make my husband nor I feel welcome at the time of check-in or during our stay. Rules were posted throughout the motel reminiscent of grammar school, no please or thanks were mentioned but our room was very clean and well maintained and motel close to the small village of Packwood. The room was large... More
