Fine place for our time there, for the price. Not too much at breakfast but there was a place open next door. Packwood is about the awesome places you go from there, not Packwood itself.

Note to the management: do something with the old car by the staircase. That became the subject of many inside jokes on our trip. We didn’t mind it, but it’s just not a good look

Booked 2 days stay as 2 separate booking. Hotel messed up the room assignment with a smaller one on the 2nd day than paid but was able to merge the 2 when checked in for the \"proper\" room (reviewed separately for problems of unusable internet and TV, front door and closet door damage, not vent for very wet bathroom after shower). Got a message that we left stuff in the room after first night - apparently staff on new shift didn't get the message of staying for a second night (until checking message later, and send a separate email about my staying over) - so communication or staff attention to details is weak.

They were installing new TVs which would have been great if only ours worked. To be fair, the staff worked tirelessly to get the new TV working and, when it couldn't be done, they replaced it and even logged us into a staff member's streaming service so we could watch what we wanted. Can't fault the staff - just the TV 😏

It was fine for roadside motel. The bathroom brought to mind that of grandma’s that hasn’t been redone since the 60’s. There was a loveseat outside our door for some reason. But it’s a roadside motel so it was fine for a night. Go in expecting that and you will also be fine.
My only “real” complaint was the outlets. Our charging cubes fell out of all of them except for the newer one in the bathroom. I unplugged a lamp to put in a charger thinking that would work but the charger fell out. I discovered someone had bent part of the lamp plug so it would stay in the outlet.

Here’s negative:
Breakfast included, but it started at 8 AM, which is too late for most transit travelers.
Air conditioner was quite loud, so we have to turn it off and open the window for all night.

The staff is very helpful and friendly.

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.

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.

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.

This place had no television service. They told me they're been waiting 7 weeks for Direct TV to install a system but I find that hard to believe. My guess is they've never had service and never will. Also the window air conditioner in my room provided no cooling and once again they had an excuse saying they were unaware of the problem and had several new ac units in inventory and would replace the one in my room now that they knew about the problem. Another thing I didn't like was there was no vanity in the bathroom just sink about 11/2 feet square with essential no place to put your accessories such as toothpaste, razor, etc. I won't be staying here again.On the plus side the refrigerator and microwave were functional and the bed was comfortable.

She won't even bother to put them in the bathroom. The suite was not cleaned once and the garbage was not emptied all 3 days.It was one of the worse hotel that we stayed in.

The front desk staff was kind and quick to help when we needed it.

They are still renovating, so the pool was under construction. We got an “original” room, so it was definitely in need of an upgrade, but was clean and functional. The bed was very comfortable, though, the pillows are awful!
The hotel is just off the main road (as are most hotels), so it can be loud when trucks and motorcycles go by. The cable was out, but the internet was working well. The hotel was within walking distance to many restaurants.
