Great place to stay when visiting MRNP. The staff was super friendly and the coffee shop had breakfast and lunch sandwiches, as well as ice cream for an after hike treat. Deducting one star because the room didn't have a coffee maker, microwave, or fridge, but even with those minor not-picks, we would still stay here again next time we're in the neighborhood.

Liked the old charm, location, and quietness. But bathroom tiles looked moldy and curtains in room 1 were way too small for the windows, making you feel very exposed. Needs coffee maker in room. Coffee in office was crazy expensive. Coffee makers are fairly standard throughout the USA, so this was the biggest disappointment.

We arrived at 8pm after a day of exploring Mt. Rainier. My key was attached to the office door in an envelope. The room was Ok, but not very clean. There was hair on the bathroom floor and in the shower. The blinds didn't cover the windows completely facing the front, so no privacy. Beds were extremely hard. Area was nice, and close to the park entrance.

We were only there for 1 night. The room was clean & big enough for 5 people. The benches at the balcony were dusty though so I had to clean it myself. I like where it’s located which is to the end of the building & on 2nd floor. Great location & short drive to Mt. Rainier.
