I liked the rustic style of the room furniture. The amenities were good except for the shower faucet handle that was hard to manage. The staff was kind and the on-call guy respond quick when required.

Perfect location to use to visit Mt Rainier. Beautiful area, not too expensive, clean, and maintained by friendly and helpful staff. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable and the room had everything we needed. We had a great time here and would stay again.

Friendly staff, keurig machine in room with plenty of coffee choices. You are able to go downstairs to a room off the front desk and grab more if needed. The bed was comfortable. Room was a good size, and pretty quiet. The floor was sticky , I think from cleaning residue. It didnt gross me out because there were no odors and everything else seemed clean.
