This was the perfect overnight stop for our trip to Mt Ranier. The hotel's location is in a great spot as we were able to walk to a nearby restaurant and grocery store. The hotel was clean and quiet. The lady at the front desk was very friendly.

We had to book the room after the Gateway Inn was shut down by the county, but was able to get a clean room with helpful staff. The place was clean and quiet and the staff helpful. It was still within reach of Mt Rainier and better than sleeping in the car!
