“The location, near the entrance to Mt Rainier National Park, is undeniably a high point. I noted that some rooms include useful amenities like microwaves, fridges, and practical outside seating and while I think some of the rooms could use an upgrade, for travellers prioritizing location and basic comfort, this could be a reasonable choice.”
