This is the perfect spot to stay to explore Mt Rainier National Park. So close to the entrance, it helped us beat the rush to Paradise. Close to a vibrant and walkable downtown. The beds were cozy and the fresh popcorn was a treat. Great games to use outdoors and friendly staff!

Friendly staff, clean room, nice to have air conditioning on when we went in, nice tea & coffee bar & popcorn! Only issue was that the toliet ran, but I just had to adjust the flap in the tank so the water would fill it up. Packwood is a cute, friendly town.

Excellent place to stay. A small family run business. Everyone was nice and helpful. There's free popcorn in the lobby, as well as tea and coffee. There are a variety of outdoor games for kids, a large Connect Four, Axe or Ninja Star throwing (kid version), plastic basketball hoop, etc. There are also games and books you can borrow in the lobby. The town is lovely as well, filled with small family run restaurants and businesses. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this place.

Walls are paper thin and you can hear people above you throughout the night. It was a rough 2 day experience, but lodging really is limited around the park so it did its purpose.

No hot breakfast included. The staff was asked about the discrepancy between Expedia’s listing and their own which led to a patronizing conversation. Once shown the Expedia listing is was mostly soft backtracking which led to an extended and unnecessary conversation as the writer did not truly care about lack of breakfast however did care about the initial rudeness and lies received when asked about listed amenity.

We stayed here for 1 night while making our way around Mt Rainier. There is minimal sound proofing and no night staff. There was a loud party going on with no one to assist, so we had to put on a noise machine and it was a rough night. Overpriced for what it is, but comparable to everything else available in the area.
