Basic, clean rooms with basic amenities provided in an older, established and maintained lodging. Pool was under repair, no tv service during stay. Nice "backyard" covered area with potential for outdoor gatherings. With A/C on, white noise for any highway traffic where this lodging is located on. Security latch is old school - almost locked myself in - ha! Easy walking distance of multiple dining locations recommended by the front desk. It was also quiet - whether due to the holiday or neighboring (but not nearby) wildfire.
No tv, and no pool stated on site. Noisy log trucks flying by. We stayed 2hrs and checked out.

We had a great stay at Packwood Inn and really loved the location—it’s conveniently close to a grocery store. Our room had 2 queen beds and a kitchen, which was perfect for our trip. Having the kitchen was a huge plus since we were able to cook our own meals and prep food for our hike to Mount Rainier.
The only downsides were that the kitchen faucet water pressure was quite weak and the washroom had a bit of a strange smell. Other than that, everything else worked well for us.
Overall, I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay with the bonus of having a kitchen, especially if you’re planning a hiking trip to Mount Rainier.

The staff is nice but ac is woefully inadequate no pool no tv that didnt bother me personally just sharing. Bed and shower ok. The neiboring pizza place also does good burger and breakfast. I dont want to be overly negative cuz it was ok for an overnight stay.
This place had no television service. They told me they're been waiting 7 weeks for Direct TV to install a system but I find that hard to believe. My guess is they've never had service and never will. Also the window air conditioner in my room provided no cooling and once again they had an excuse saying they were unaware of the problem and had several new ac units in inventory and would replace the one in my room now that they knew about the problem. Another thing I didn't like was there was no vanity in the bathroom just sink about 11/2 feet square with essential no place to put your accessories such as toothpaste, razor, etc. I won't be staying here again.On the plus side the refrigerator and microwave were functional and the bed was comfortable.
Stayed for 3 nights. They claim they don’t service the rooms during your stay but they entered our room each day. On the second day we returned to find the lights on and the door ajar. Nothing seemed to be missing but when I inquired at the front desk she stated that was odd since they don’t service the rooms during your stay. They had swapped out our towels and emptied trash, just didn’t close the door!
The service was excellent. The staff tended to our every need The room was clean and nice.. the beds were comfortable. The only thing lacking was they had no tv because the service wasn’t on and the pool wasn’t open. That was a bummer but other than that we enjoyed our stay
Old, needs remolding, pour care. Mattress were dirty, plugs fall out of the outlets. Exterior door had large air gaps, door handle nearly fell off. Secondary locks missing ( interior door locks). Pool closed.
We stayed there for 3 nights to visit Mt.Rainier. We paid over $600 for a family suite and the whole time the TV didn't work. The pool was drained.They never clean our suite for the 3 days even we put the sign out to ask them to clean it.I finally walked to the front desk on the late day to tell them to clean our suite. 2 of the workers came by and dropped off the towels.1 dropped off 2 rolls of toilet paper right on the dining table. She won't even bother to put them in the bathroom. The suite was not cleaned once and the garbage was not emptied all 3 days.It was one of the worse hotel that we stayed in.

Stayed here the night before a race, and having a pizza place next door is a huge bonus. The room was lack luster, the small tv didnt work, and there was a little drip from the bathroom sink. The grounds look a little unkept. Not terrible experience, but also do not think it was worth what i paid.
2 couples traveling together . Had 2 rooms, one room had extremely short stool and vanity. The knob for our shower keep coming off and the shower head has been replaced and not painted around. The beds were comfortable and a good pizza place next door

Very nice staff, old place, carpet flooring no working TV. Overall cute little place.
TV was not working, Pool was not open, Hot water was not coming and sink tap was broken. AC was directly facing to one bed, so one bed was super cold abd another was feeling hit at the same time

The TV was broken. The control for the shower was broken. The handle to the refrigerator was broken. The molding along the carpet was torn out and not repaired. The swimming pool was broken. The bed mattress was old and had collapsed.
When we complained we were told that this is why the price ($156) was so cheap! Insulting and outrageous…”
This property is currently undergoing renovation and is not yet ready for business. The facilities and furniture are outdated. On the positive side, the beds were clean with no bugs. The staff is attentive—they listen to complaints and respond promptly. Overall, you get what you pay for, but don't expect more at this stage.
