Hotels near Mount Rainier National Park, Pierce County

We went into our stay at the Gateway Inn with very low expectations after reading all the reviews here. We were more than pleasantly surprised when our experience was just the opposite. We had reserved this using points and from the time we reserved until our actual stay, the price went down 4 times so we ended up booking two nights for only 31,737 points. They emailed us AND called us the day we were to arrive to let us know that if we came after 6 pm, there would be instructions posted on the outside office wall. It was there, just as they said it would be. We stayed in cabin 28 with was very spacious and clean. It had two queen beds, a chair, a desk with chair, a large dresser and TV, 3 nightstands, 2 benches, 2 closets and a small kitchenette area with a microwave, coffee pot and mini frig. The absolute best thing was the bathroom which had its own heater and 6 hooks on the wall. When we came back from hiking with soaking wet clothes, shoes and fanny packs, we put everything in there, turned the heater to 80 and closed the door. We woke up to perfectly dry things! It is located pretty much AT the gate to Mount Rainier so going in at our appointed time was a breeze! When we needed more towels and a blow dryer, they took them right over to the cabin for us while we went to eat dinner. The WiFI worked great and we were all about to connect. We didn't try the TV but that's not why we were there. We were able to park right in front of the door for easy unloading and loading. I really don't have one negative thing to say about this place and am so thankful that our experience was a great one.

Just at the entrance to Rainier Park, the head is resting on the pine, the eyes are staring at the stars, and waking up in the sunshine through the pine forest and blinds. What kind of feeling is it? ! A very historic villa, well maintained, should be the owner of the family business, the living room, restaurant and other public places on the wall is full of old photos of family members, very popular with the style of the family. Because there are few people, many things need self-help. For example, the late arrival guests pick up the keys, buy the snacks in the living room and put the money into the small cans, etc., but the owners use the distinctive logo, which is also very convenient. The setting of the living room is also very good. It is an ideal place for guests to socialize. Some people play Sudoku here. Some people read newspapers here. I am playing chess with my daughter here, and an American old lady came over to watch the game.

Stayed there while visiting Mount Rainier NP. Check-in was a mess becaus all staff was working in restaurant. Had to wait nearly 20 min until someone showed me my room at the restaurant's backdoor. No seating available there, ordered to take away for 30 min later. At pick up meal was cold already. Asked for some ice to cool my feet. Waitress told of a damaged ice machine while coke was carried out on ice. Sign at the road: ”bakery”. Looking for bread? Forget it. For breakfast only waffles or cake from industrial production. Absolutely everything at incredible high prices and totally unfriedly behaviour. The tip of the iceberg: I booked in advance, they knew I would be coming. But they didn't inform me about a road closure at the north-easter side of the NP. Why that unkind?

We stayed at this hotel after staying in the one next door, We forgot to book an extra day in the other hotel so we hastily made our way to this one. The lady at the front desk was more than helpful and understanding off our situation and gave us a room, the room itself was fantastic, we had a coffee maker and coffee was even served in reception. The bed was comfy however our shower was a tad bit strange, if you wanted hot you had to turn the knob to cold and if you wanted cold you had to turn the knob to hot. This was quite a funny experience as I got in. Overall would come back to the Lodge again.

We stayed in the Cottage just 1.5 miles from the main motel. It was a delightful cabin! Immaculate and well equipped, comfortable bed and a cozy fireplace. The privacy was the best part, well, except when the 15+ elk greeted us steps from the porch one morning! :-) The location is great, close to Mt Rainier entrance. Don't miss the hot tub-it's the perfect private spot to relax. (There's also a huge fire pit with seating by the Grill) Got a pizza from there and it was very good. Friendly and efficient staff made check-in & out easy. Tasty latte in the office, thanks Raven. Special thanks to Jennifer, she went the extra mile on more than one thing for us.

The hotel is facing the street, the sound insulation is too bad, people who don’t sleep well should not enter, it’s really not good.
