"I had an overall pleasant stay at the Gateway Inn in Ashford, Washington. One of the biggest advantages of this property is its location—being right near the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park makes it incredibly convenient for anyone planning to explore the area. The surrounding scenery is beautiful and really adds to the experience. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.
There were a few drawbacks, however. The room we stayed in had a noticeable slant to the floor, which was a little unusual and took some getting used to. The internet service was also spotty at times, although the hotel does disclose this ahead of time, so it wasn't entirely unexpected given the location. Additionally, there were no TV channels available during our stay, which may be disappointing for guests looking to relax indoors after a day of exploring.
That said, if your main goal is to enjoy the natural beauty of Mount Rainier and stay close to the park entrance, Gateway Inn is a convenient option with friendly service and a great setting. Just be prepared for a few rustic quirks that come with staying in such a remote and scenic area."
"I stayed overnight here for an event down the street. It was clean, the bed was comfy and the staff was very pleasant. Nothing fancy, but perfectly suitable for an overnight stay for a single person."
"Cabin and outdoors were very clean. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. The only y negative was using the worn out cooking utensils. Buy some new pots and pans and measuring cups."
"Pros:
The staff at this property are amazing. They were so kind to help me out with a medical emergency which delayed my trip and very responsive. When we checked in they were friendly and responsive and literally made our trip magical with their great advice and suggestions of hikes to do in the area and how best to plan our time and logistics. They are sweet and friendly people, very kind and caring. The property location is fantastic with easy parking. There was an unexpected perk of a DVD player in the room and DVD library which was really fun and nostalgic! The bed, linens and towels were basic but clean and comfortable.
Cons:
The property itself is older and fairly rundown. Things like light fixtures in the bathroom and bedroom didn't work, the toilet seat was coming off and generally the room had a musty smell. Also if you are sensitive to noise the room had no sound proofing so we were kept up by residents stomping around above us at night.
Overall, the location and staff were so nice, I would stay here again and recommend it. The beauty of the location itself overcomes any negatives.
Also, as a tip we ate at the nearby Snorting Elk Cellar Bar. It was cozy, pretty good food (bar food but some good options like a coconut curry), and really friendly staff that were caring and kind."
"Breakfast was disappointing and lacking. They were not able to fix non-light in bathroom (we used a flashlight), and the mattresses were upside down (meaning, there was only one useable side and we had to turn them over)."
