The staff are super nice and helpful. They got me in last minute and gave me a late checkout. The bed was super comfortable, room was very clean and warm. Can’t beat the location and was given great recommendations for food!

Hotel onsite manager was friendly and helpful. Hotel was quaint, nastaligic if you like old Mtn Rainier history. So close to Mtn Rainier Longmire entrance which made it easy access. Bed comfortable and room was clean. Light Breakfast was perfect. Would stay again.
