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!

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!

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.

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.

Completely adequate; nice staff

The Packwood Inn was completely adequate for our purposes which was mainly a hot shower, soft clean bed, and our dog welcome. Room 18's shower faucet needs some help. We were warned the TV didn't work which suits us. Though fully occupied it was quiet. Special treat; Elk came to visit the back lot.

The staff was really friendly and great but the property was run down. It seemed like the new manager was planning on over hauling the place but it was very over priced for the condition it was in. No TV, mattress was soft, pulll out bed in suite was broken.

Great place to stay

I loved staying here. Staff were friendly and helpful. My room was spacious and comfortable; it was clean, I felt safe, it was quiet, and yes, I would stay here again. It actually has a mountain view of Mt Rainier.

This property is outdated. However, the beds are very comfortable the air conditioning keeps the place cool and it in the middle of nowhere so it definitely beats a tent and mosquitoes. I would have gave it 5 stars, but we needed the pool because we were traveling with kids and the pool wasn’t open. No one told us that. The front desk was extremely accommodating and put our families rooms next to each other. The showers have great water pressure.

Great home base to visit Mt Rainier, since you can see Mt Rainier from the motel, you can decide whether or not it's worth it to go up the mountain based on cloud condition.
