Travelers planning to stay at this small quaint hotel should be aware of a few items: - there is no breakfast buffet despite it being noted both at the time I booked months ago and even today it’s published on Trip Advisor. - there is no elevator to the second floor so you will need to haul all of your stuff up the stairs. When we checked in the front desk lady offered to help but at checkout the lady working behind the counter took one look at us from the landing and quickly disappeared despite playing with another guests toddler moments before. - the memory foam pillows are lumpy and rock hard after laying on them for a couple hours. - you will be charged in full a couple days before you arrive meaning you have no chance to use any other card then what you booked with. - Thin walls mean it’s noisy at times. Aside from these issues it was okay. Kind of inexcusable though to charge over $400 per night and not be accurate on the breakfast availability, especially with timed entrance into the park. Would not book here again. Pluses - it was clean, and had a cute little deck,

This is a cute little lodge very close/convenient to Rainier. The staff made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. The room was clean. They had waters, sodas, etc for purchase at a very reasonable price. Free coffee all day. Definitely would stay here again. Just hate that a three night minimum is required, two was perfect for our family.

This was a charming lodge. It was very clean and well supplied. Ashley was very friendly and helpful. The decor was up-north cozy with fire place and areas to relax. Ashley had coffee ready for us in the morning. You should know, being an older lodge, there are know elevators. We would definitely stay there again.

We absolutely love our stay here at the lodge, it was a refreshing get away from the hustle and bustle of the stress and everyday life. The new manager there Ashley was so more than accommodating to our family. Really a grade A type of gal thank you for going above and beyond to make sure our stay was extra delightful. We will defiantly be returning next chance we get.

We had 8 family members traveling the PNW together and booked 3 rooms here for our stay over the July 4th holiday. We weren't quite sure what to expect, but had a wonderful time. The staff were so kind and welcoming! The rooms were spacious, clean, and quiet. The beds were by far the most comfortable of our trip (this was one of 3 accommodations during our trip). No longer having breakfast on-site was disappointing, but thankfully we realized before we came so we stopped at a grocery store on our way in from Seattle. The fridge in the room allowed us to keep cold items chilled until needed. We also brought in items to picnic while enjoying Mt Rainier. At the front desk, they had menus for several local restaurants and a list of what days/hours they were open. This was especially helpful for planning our dinner on July 4th. We ended up getting pizza takeout nearby and using the large picnic table outside the Lodge. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend the Nisqually Lodge to families wanting to be near and enjoy Mt Rainer.
