This was nice for a little one night stay! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They also did our laundry for us which was so kind! Really appreciate that as a PCT hiker. Would recommend for anyone stopping in Packwood for a nero or zero!

Provided exactly what we were after— proximity to Mt. Rainier, clean comfortable room. No TV, but we didn’t need one. Quick walk to restaurant and grocery store, both open til 9 on a Sunday night. Great vibe all around!

Great little lodge in the the downtown area of Packwood, walkable to the restaurants and shops, and near Mt Rainier park. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
The Inn itself is older, but is clean, with good wifi. It is currently being refurbished, so some amenities, such as the pool and TVs, may not be currently available.

Great place to stay
I loved staying here. Staff were friendly and helpful. My room was spacious and comfortable; it was clean, I felt safe, it was quiet, and yes, I would stay here again. It actually has a mountain view of Mt Rainier.

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.

We stayed here for two days. The property is a bit dated, and you get what you pay for — we booked last minute when few other options were available. That said, the staff were very helpful and friendly, which made the stay more comfortable. The surrounding area has some overgrown vegetation, but the location is a plus — close to the city center and near a few dining spots, though options are somewhat limited.

Great home base to visit Mt Rainier, since you can see Mt Rainier from the motel, you can decide whether or not it's worth it to go up the mountain based on cloud condition.

Cute little motel
Stoped here on our way to the coast. Perfect pit stop, rooms are a little dated but very comfortable! Could walk to the grocery store, and dinner! Was a great stop on our trip.
