Will Stay Here Again;
Pros:

The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because there was no Breakfast option and no pool or Hot Tub. Absolutely everything else about our 2 night stay was excellent! The next time we are visiting my Father in la we will stay here again,

Cons:

I liked everything I saw or used.

Convenient location but was over priced
Pros:

Convenient location to stay if wanting to visit Mount Rainier. Nice little bakery/coffee shop down the road.

Cons:

The room smelled musty when we arrived. The room was good sized but the bathroom has mold in several places. Specifically along the wall where the towels are. A few of the towels were actually touching mold spots.

Pros:

This was a great location near Packwood and close to Randle. They served popcorn throughout the day. I liked the spacious rooms and workspace. The bathroom was also great. The room had plenty of storage space.

Cons:

The room had bright hospital lighting. I avoided it at all costs.

Pros:

WHAT Breakfast!!!? They don't have one anymore for past few years, yet the website shows breakfast provided, plus a menu take out. I placed my booking based on a combination of factor before I selected a place to stay. Breakfast was a major factor. As it turned out a $36 factor in getting breakfast in the town of Packwood. I had other choice in nearby towns, Morton, Randall, and other places in Packwood for less money and equivalent services. Their website is deceiving and it was discussed at the front desk. It needs to be changed and fully disclosed. If Crest Trail Lodging / Google or whoever doesn't correct this deception, I'm sure the WA state Consumer Affairs would be interested...

在packwood 最後面的一個住宿點，走到小鎮中心還需要一下下，而且小鎮不大只有一家超市，價格也比山下的貴不少，建議要上國家公園的話可以在市區的超市採購後再上山，房間的冰箱有單獨的冷凍庫
Pros:

門口大廳有提供免費的咖啡，茶包跟熱水，還有爆米花，而且接待的員工非常熱情，在我詢問雷尼爾山天氣的時候還幫我查詢，有賓至如歸的感覺

Cons:

淋浴的熱水水量偏小

Cons:

הקירות של החדרים מאוד דקים ואפשר לשמוע הכל מכל חדר. כולל החדר מעל. אנחנו קיבלנו חדר ליד חדר כביסה והרבה שעות ביום כל החדר רעד.
