Its a very good location. Colton at front desk was very attentive and helpful. One improvement could be to add more TV channels. Also cabins could get some upgrades but overall very nice stay.

Gateway Inn was a perfect stay before our visit to Mount Rainier national Park. The motel was literally steps away from the entrance. The beds were very comfortable. The room was super clean and updated. The air conditioning worked well.

Very cute little motel just feet away from the entrance to Mt Rainier NP. We were there in early May so it wasn’t busy at all but the room was comfortable and clean, well updated and we enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evening relaxing. Beds were very comfortable and we both got a good nights sleep! Highly recommend the place.

Eclectic property that's directly outside the gate to Mount Rainier National Park. Be prepared to arrive when traffic isn't too crazy getting into the park, which it wasn't @3pm on a summer Saturday. Convenient location and great spot to get to Longmire and Paradise from

Can walk to the park entrance and that matters the day we were there because the line to get in was over an hour. The cabins were extremely nice, more room than expected, and the veds were super comfortable.

Very cute cabin right at the entry of mt rainier national park. Slept 6, but small table w 3 chairs so not easy to hang out after a long day in the park. Good use of the space otherwise, but wish there was a sink other than the bathroom.
