  : Neat setting. Super close to Mt Rainier NP. Nice & clean. The bed was pretty comfy.
  : No blow dryer. The traffic was nuts trying to get to the property at about 3:30pm.

  : Good location adjacent to Rainier national Park.
  : Where to begin. On check-in I had reserved and paid for the stay through the Booking.com app. Upon arrival the hotel was wanting to charge $20 more and they were wanting me to sign a receipt agreeing to this. During our two day stay, we lost electricity, had plumbing issues with the toilet rendering it non-functional. On a separate occasion, my dad went to use the shower and sewer had backed up into the shower. Not sure how this can happen but it did. It was very difficult to get a hold of any staff during these issues and other times we were needing assistance. The majority of the time no one could be found on the property or the front desk. When we brought these issues to the attention of the staff, they were not surprised at all, stating similar issues with other cabins. When asking how this would be handled (not even explicitly asking for a refund/compensation) we were immediately told the owner would do nothing. Pretty crazy conditions! My dad and I are not the picky type. Pretty low standards. We were here before doing a summit climb up Rainier. However, when paying $350, I would expect more value for the money.

  : The beds were comfortable. Had the junior suite, plenty of room. Relatively quiet. Last facility before access to Mt Rainier Park. The staff was very pleasant. You are near several restaurants. I especially enjoyed the Ukrainian restaurant, and went there a couple times. Also, The Copper Mill (call for take out-gets busy!). And the Wildberry restaurant featuring Himalayan cuisine. Quite the variety in one place!
  : I wish the hot water was warmer and lasted longer. You need to plan your arrival to the Inn, if you are coming during 7-3, you may run into a line waiting to go into the park, even if you are not going into the park, you are stuck. (Remember you need timed entry or you will be turned away at Park entrance)The wifi is very spotty and likely you won't have data access even with Wi-Fi and password ( all the way through the area near this part of Mt Rainier). Advise you to download any movies, shows, books etc in Ashford while you can still connect. Otherwise, enjoy being unplugged!

  : Close to the national park, good price.
  : They told us they closed at 7pm but I went in at 6:15pm for some help and they were closed. Our TV didnt work and the router in our room didnt work either, and there was no service to contact anyone.
