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!

Nice cabin from outside view, but no table is in the room. No place for family to comfortably sit around to chat and eat. This should be an easy issue to improve.

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.

The blinds in the room did not close properly, which was quite uncomfortable since the property faces a busy road. Because of this, people passing by or cars on the road could easily see inside the room, compromising privacy. It felt awkward having to stay cautious about where to sit or change due to the lack of proper window coverage. This is definitely something the hotel should fix, as it makes the stay feel less private and secure.

The gateway inn was awesome! Check in process was extremely easy, staff were super kind over the phone and upon arrival. I would totally rent a cabin here again especially for the price! Our cabin was clean, well kept up for its age, and the bed was super comfortable (pillows were a little sad, but not the worst). It was pretty neat to get to stay so close to the park entrance (literally steps away)
