A cabin in the street, nestled between the garbage bins and the highway. Good: can see MRNP from the front door, clean, FULL size appliances, friendly staff. Bad: No Internet/ signal, the front steps were 2 car lengths from the highway with constant park traffic, no closet or place to hang clothes or put suitcases. Door hits the bed so can’t open all the way, full size appliances, but no kitchenware (plates, bowls, silverware etc.), so dark in kitchen area had to use my phone to start the coffee pot.

Right next to the park entrance!

It is a wonderful location for those vising Mt. Rainier National Park. It's a simple motel with a kind of DIY decor, but has a nice hot shower, a powerful AC unit, large fridge, a good microwave, a coffee maker with a supply of coffee, and clean and reasonably comfortable beds (we like them to be a bit firmer than the softer kind there). It was quiet at night.

First the pro - Proximity to Rainier; right outside park gate The cons - When we came back from dinner (after the front desk was closed), our cabin smelled so bad as soon as we opened the door. We soon found that sewage was coming up through the shower floor which was disgusting and unfortunately prevented us from a much needed shower! The cabins are fairly close to each other at sometime around 1:30am, I was awoken by noise. At first I thought - is that coyote/wolves howling. Nope, it was the cabin next door listening to tv very loud which went on for another half hour or so Finding food was a big challenge. We ate at the Wildberry for lunch which was great but during the middle of the week, so many of the other restaurants were closed and we struck out ending up eating cheese and crackers for dinner. I wish there were some basic kitchen amenities provided in the cabin, even paper plates, cups, etc. - especially since the front office closes leaving you without anything. Something to also be aware of is that traffic for sunrise at Rainier starts around 4:00am which can clearly be heard from the cabin since the windows needed to be open due to the heat and no fan (except ceiling fan provided) to drown out the noise and provide air flow Finally, communication. I let the office know immediately in the morning about the sewage and it’s been a week without a response. I expected some sort of discount to compensate for the inconvenience. I would look somewhere else…

We booked a premium cottage and it was the perfect getaway, steps from the Nisqually Entrance into Mount Rainier National Park. The cabin was spacious, had a mini fridge, and was clean. The beds were comfortable and the staff were kind. It was the perfect spot to relax before/after exploring Mount Rainier.

The room was clean and comfortable. An elevator would have been a plus. The ice machine wasn’t in the best place as we had to hunt for it. Overall, it was a nice place to stay with friendly staff.

We really loved the location of this property. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a little outdated, but that didn't bother us. Our only complaint is that the rooms need more care when they are being cleaned.

Amazing location. Stayed in the premium cottage and was not outdated like many reviews suggest. Very roomy and cute area right outside the park. Floors were very dirty, though. Staff very friendly as office closes early, they called earlier in the day to explain easy after hour check in.

Great Stay, Great Location

We enjoyed our stay at the Gateway Inn. The cabin was spacious and well equipped. Right outside Mt Rainier park so you can avoid the long morning line to get in. Only issue was that the pillows were very flat. I would recommend replacing or adding more so they can be stacked for those that prefer fluffier pillows.
