A Hidden Gem

We stayed here on a last minute (same-day) booking and we were very pleasantly surprised. The room here is as good or better than any room that I've ever stayed in. On the 3rd floor there are high, vaulted ceilings, classy artwork and decor, and everything was clean and comfortable. On top of that, we received a hand written note to welcome us for our stay (how many hotels do that?). And also, we had a glorious view of Mount Rainier out our window.

A nice hotel to stay if you want to spend the following day at Mount Rainer. It takes around one hour to get to the entrance.

The hotel furnishings are noticeably dated compared to the photos, and the musty smell of the carpet puts a damper on the overall experience. Room service was nonexistent. On a positive note, the availability of coffee in the lobby throughout the day was a thoughtful touch.
