The bed that I slept on was so springy it reminded me of a trampoline how much it bounced. I could not roll over because of it. The second twin bed had a piece of plastic hard sticking out of it about three inches. We complained to the front desk clerk who did nothing about it.
We had dinner in the restaurant on the premises and the meatloaf Left something to be desired. At $35 for meatloaf, mashed potatoes and some asparagus ,I expected more. Rolls were not even offered with dinner. A single cup of coffee is 3.50.
The carpet throughout the building looked like something straight out of the 1970s. I understand they want to keep things maybe more rustic, but it looked drab and dreary.
The only good thing about this place was it access to hiking at Mount Rainier. I highly recommend you finding a different place if you consider this one.

This is what I always had envisioned for a national park lodge. The rooms were right sized for our family of 3 (though the shower was super tight) and comfy. The bed was much more comfortable than I expected.
The diner downstairs is quaint and the food delicious! The Longmire pot roast and Mac and cheese are wicked good, same for the omelette for breakfast.
There is a sitting room with a fireplace and board games.
The front porch is huge with room to sit outside and look into the forest while sipping a beverage or coffee
Tons of trails are right at the inn as well.
There’s no internet, and that’s just fine. You are there for the forest and experience!
Room delay of 1 hour 45 minutes

The room was promised in an hour; when we returned, it still was not ready. The front desk girl left her post unattended for 20 minutes while six couples waited in line behind us. When I asked for a manager, all I got was an incredibly rude and mouthy person who did absolutely nothing but call me a name. So very ignorant, what a terrible way to start a much-anticipated stay.

There is no WiFi or cell phone service, but they helped me find open WiFi at the museum which is walking distance from the hotel. I was still able to text my children every day thanks to that WiFi. I felt disconnected, but did not feel isolated.

Some of the front desk staff were great and others were okay. (the lady who checked us in was great but when we went back with a question the gentleman there had no idea). We stayed in a room with two double beds and a sink. The bathroom was around the corner (2 stalls) and the shower was right across from our room. We had no issues using any of the facilities. The only negative was the bright hallway light that shone in when you opened the door in the middle of the night to go to the restroom. There is no a/c but there is a fan and the temperature does drop as the sun sets and the room cooled off nicely. There is NO wifi and cell reception is spotty in the park. We did not eat in the lodge, instead we drove just outside of the park to Ashford.
