Every time I've stayed here (and it's been multiple times), the staff has always been super friendly and incredibly accommodating. Super clean rooms, easy parking, safe area and convenient location. Close enough to Packwood without having to be in the middle of town, which I loved.

Stopped for the night before heading to Rainier the next day. Clean room, comfy beds & blankets, nice hot shower.. all that we needed for a one night stay really. Though there is no elevator, if that’s something you’re needing (we didn’t need, but good to know).

The location of this motel was great. But the property itself needed repairs. For example, the caulking in the bathtub needed to be reapplied professionally.
