This was nice for a little one night stay! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They also did our laundry for us which was so kind! Really appreciate that as a PCT hiker. Would recommend for anyone stopping in Packwood for a nero or zero!

Basic, clean rooms with basic amenities provided in an older, established and maintained lodging. Pool was under repair, no tv service during stay. Nice "backyard" covered area with potential for outdoor gatherings. With A/C on, white noise for any highway traffic where this lodging is located on. Security latch is old school - almost locked myself in - ha! Easy walking distance of multiple dining locations recommended by the front desk. It was also quiet - whether due to the holiday or neighboring (but not nearby) wildfire.

Provided exactly what we were after— proximity to Mt. Rainier, clean comfortable room. No TV, but we didn’t need one. Quick walk to restaurant and grocery store, both open til 9 on a Sunday night. Great vibe all around!

We had a great stay at Packwood Inn and really loved the location—it’s conveniently close to a grocery store. Our room had 2 queen beds and a kitchen, which was perfect for our trip. Having the kitchen was a huge plus since we were able to cook our own meals and prep food for our hike to Mount Rainier. The only downsides were that the kitchen faucet water pressure was quite weak and the washroom had a bit of a strange smell. Other than that, everything else worked well for us. Overall, I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay with the bonus of having a kitchen, especially if you’re planning a hiking trip to Mount Rainier.

So, it is near the Mt Ranier south entrance and that’s great. You have to catch the office open to get ice. The rooms are dated but clean Maintenance is lacking: all lock mechanisms on inside door are missing; the outlets are so loose anything plugged in fall out. We were told Direct TV is not working but our friends adjacent room had no tv at all! Hot water is at a minimum - shower quick! It was pricey for what we got. So, it sufficed but it was not that great

After a long day of hiking at mt Rainer, I jumped in the shower for it just to turn ice cold within a minute. Took a very very cold shower trying to remove dirt and sweat from the day in nature. Called after hours number and got a call back and said it was fixed, after about 20-30 minute my room had hot water. They did apologize for the inconvenience. By then I was in bed tired and sore from hiking. The bed was very very hard and uncomfortable to say the least. Although the staff was nice this is not a place I would stay again after a long day of hiking. I had a reservation for two nights and put my room key in the drop after the first night and drove the 4 hours home after my second day of hiking.

Stayed here the night before a race, and having a pizza place next door is a huge bonus. The room was lack luster, the small tv didnt work, and there was a little drip from the bathroom sink. The grounds look a little unkept. Not terrible experience, but also do not think it was worth what i paid.

Great little lodge in the the downtown area of Packwood, walkable to the restaurants and shops, and near Mt Rainier park. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The Inn itself is older, but is clean, with good wifi. It is currently being refurbished, so some amenities, such as the pool and TVs, may not be currently available.

Stayed for 3 nights. They claim they don’t service the rooms during your stay but they entered our room each day. On the second day we returned to find the lights on and the door ajar. Nothing seemed to be missing but when I inquired at the front desk she stated that was odd since they don’t service the rooms during your stay. They had swapped out our towels and emptied trash, just didn’t close the door!

We stayed here for two days. The property is a bit dated, and you get what you pay for — we booked last minute when few other options were available. That said, the staff were very helpful and friendly, which made the stay more comfortable. The surrounding area has some overgrown vegetation, but the location is a plus — close to the city center and near a few dining spots, though options are somewhat limited.
