Property was just at the end of the main strip in the perfect area in my opinion. Room was comfortable and perfect for the one night there.

“Excellent motel for mountain hikes”
Excellent motel convenient to several mountains and recreation areas. Clean, comfortable rooms. Two sinks - perfect for sharing a room. Only a short drive to downtown restaurants, brewery and coffee shop. Cozy lobby with games, TV and light snacks.

“Good location for the National Park. Clean and comfortable. Staff could be friendlier.”
Location was excellent (had they not have closed the nearby National Park entrance). Room was clean and comfortable. Good to have availability of laundry on-site. Seemed relatively expensive, but there are not many options in the town (we did not realize we had booked just before the annual flea market, so perhaps that added to the minimal options available). Staff on the front desk not particularly friendly. No breakfast.

“A very good two-night stay”
We were pleasantly surprised at the property. The staff was MOST attentive. The property is in a very small town and our expectations were of a very basic motel. Instead we found a clean and 100% functional room. Lovely shower with lots of water pressure (often one of our disappointments but not this time) and lots of hot water. Staff was attentive to our requests and, perhaps most surprising, the WiFi was fast and stable. Everything in the town is walkable (it is a small town). We enjoyed the two-hour drive to the Mt. Rainier Visitor Center (quicker coming back as you don't stop as often). Overall a very nice but short stay.
