The bathroom toilet did not work. We had to leave the facility and obtain another hotel. We did not stay the night. Further, we were told that the hotel would take care of reimbursements, but we have not seen anything.

We stayed at this hotel to celebrate our wedding. 1. Our cottage looked completely different from the photos, which was very disappointing because we planned to film the bride’s morning there. 2. The bed linens were extremely dirty — when we lifted the blanket, there were someone else’s hairs on the sheet, and it seemed like the bedding hadn’t been changed before our arrival. We had to sleep in our clothes! 3. The shelves inside the closets were dusty. 4. The chairs and armchairs were so old that everything wobbled. 5. There was very little lighting in the cottage — it was impossible to eat at the bar counter because you couldn’t see anything! 6. No Wi-Fi! There was absolutely no signal or connection in this area. We booked two nights, but we didn’t even want to stay for the second one and left for another hotel. Because sleeping in clothes on your wedding night is just awful! Such a beautiful place, but such a terrible hotel. We were extremely disappointed. 🙁

Great stay. The cabin was super cozy and the beds were comfortable! I would definitely recommend staying here. Just steps away from the park entrance. A couple of nice restaurants down the street.

Yes, we reached the National park very well. We lost electric power at 8pm in our unit. We called the property manager, 5x, no answer.The office, front desk was close. The property manager not on site. 2 hours lost with Expedia, on chat and emails. The unit is durty, unsanitary. We have all pictures We got told by Expedia , that Gateway doesn't want to refund us, neither Expedia. Totally unaccptable from both ,Gateway Inn and Expedia. It is a shame for both.

The only good thing about this place is the location — it’s right outside Mount Rainier National Park, which made getting into the park super easy. Other than that, the stay was pretty disappointing. The floors were dirty, and I kept getting dirt or crumbs on my feet. There was dust everywhere and cobwebs hanging in corners, which made it hard to relax knowing there were probably bugs nearby. Every surface just felt grimy — I didn’t even want to set my stuff down. Dirt in every corner. Sink easily clogged. Water was lukewarm. When the maid came in to do daily cleaning, the soap was refilled however everything else just felt like there was bare minimum effort — when the maid made the bed, the comforters were just thrown over pillows that were all out of order to have almost just like completely the task of “making the bed” They say there’s WiFi, but it never worked once. Since there’s no cell service in the area, that made it tough to check the weather or look up directions to plan hikes. I get that it’s a remote area, but other inns nearby had working WiFi, so that was frustrating to see we chose the wrong inn. And the electrical situation was frustrating — every time I tried to charge something or turn on a light, something else would turn off. For example, if you plug in the coffee pot, the bathroom light goes out.

Feet away from the Mount Rainier National Park entrance. Highly recommend this lodge if you’re visiting the park. Self check-in was a breeze. No issues. Comfy bed, clean space, fridge, tv. Just remember you’re still in a remote location so no WiFi or cell service (not saying it was a bad thing). I would definitely stay here again if visiting Mt Rainier & recommending to others.

Two of my friends and myself booked a girls weekend hiking adventure trip. Our stay in your first cabin was the absolute best and cutest cabin we have ever visited! The beds were so comfortable! And we were able to sleep in a little after a long drive from OR before hiking Mt.Rainier the following day. Stuart was so kind and helpful! We will definitely visit again and tell our friends about it in the Portland area! God bless your business! Definitely book here if you are on the fence. Lock it in and enjoy a cozy cabin stay and make some awesome memories!

Upon arriving the microwave didn’t work and no hot water. After a talk with people in the office and returning from dinner everything was perfect! The fireplace and a nice bonus and warmed us nicely after an unexpected day in the snow. The beds were very comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay.
