A comfortable spot to stay for a few days. The cabin interior was very dark, I would have loved a bedside lamp so I could read.

Room was comfortable and met our needs. The lighting in the front of the room could be better for looking at maps and reading. Communication was fabulous proactively reaching out to explain checkin and verifying our room needs.

Comfortable, after a long ride. Bed was comfortable. Location was right at entrance to Mt. Ranier. So can’t be beat for location. Made driving up the mountain easy. Internet worked in the room. Made a difference since there isn’t much internet around Mt. Ranier. Staff was friendly and reached out to let us know how to check in since we were coming in after they closed at 6pm. Courteous and soft-spoken gentleman.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the park entrance and the cabin fit our family of four. My main issue was the lack of curtains. One of the beds was right next to the front window which only had a lace curtain… with the flood light by the parking there was no way to get the room dark or really feel like it was private.
