We enjoyed our one night stay at Paradise Inn. Staying here gives you direct access to some of the most scenic trails in the area. We were able to check in early after hiking the Skyline trail. The lodge was beautiful and historic. We didn't want to leave the park for dinner so we ate at the main dining room. The food and the service were excellent.

Mount Ranier is a magical place. If you’re going to visit, it’s worth splurging for a night in the lodge. When we got there, we learned that the power had gone out, and the staff was amazing, still able to check us in and managing to keep us all in good spirits in the lobby. Even the gift shop stayed open, doing cash sales! And, the offered a scaled down dinner, which we got in line for and we were able to get in. Finally after about 3-4 hours the power came back on and everyone cheered. Our room was actually two rooms split so that the kids could be in one and parents in the other… nice. Since it was still cool at night, the rooms could be easily cooled off by opening the windows… no problem. Rooms weee clean and beds were comfortable. The hiking was outstanding… but make sure to bring snow boots or crampons with you even in late June because there was still a lot of snow on the trails. The view of the summit and the glaciers is just breathtaking. Thank you Paradise Inn staff for keeping us fed and housed despite the power outage!

No lodge guest parking set aside. If Timberline Lodge can do it with all the skiers, certainly Paradise can. The front desk manager, Ally, is by far the most rude and condescending hotel staff member I have ever encountered after staying in hotels all over the globe both for leisure and business. Her nastiness darkened our whole stay at Paradise. Not a pleasant experience at all.

We loved it here! I’ve got to admit, I was a bit hesitant about staying three nights in one of the historic rooms, with a family of five—but, we really and truly loved it. I would stay the whole summer here if I could. The rooms and bathrooms were immaculate, the lodge was beautiful and the location was (of course) unbeatable. Our family woke up super early to beat the crowds on the trails, and then snuggled up for an afternoon nap followed by afternoon tea and cards in the lodge.

We loved our brief stay here and would love to visit again. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The great room and dining rooms were amazing! Cozy by the fireplace! They had just opened for the season, so it was not very crowded. The views are amazing. Trails were snow covered, so we didn’t attempt them, though many did. Dinner was wonderful with very fresh steelhead trout on risotto. The wine we picked was great and affordable. Is the food expensive? Yes, but you are 5,400 feet up a mountain in a 1914 dining room!! Worth every penny. We were in the annex. Note there is no elevator but they accommodated us with a room change. The room and bathroom were small but clean and cozy. Only complete was the thin walls. Free tea and cookies in the afternoon and the nice coffee shop open for 16 hours kept us going! Sadly, we left a day early due to impending snow (we didn’t have the right vehicle/tires). Love it!
