The room is newly remodeled. It’s a great choice to stay for Mount Rainier national park. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean. My only complaint is that although the hardwood floors are beautiful they don’t absorb noise. Because of this you can hear everyone walking down the halls and sound carries quite a bit. Carpet is a better choice for noise but I understand the durable choice. Just be aware you want to bring ear plugs.

No hot breakfast included. The staff was asked about the discrepancy between Expedia’s listing and their own which led to a patronizing conversation. Once shown the Expedia listing is was mostly soft backtracking which led to an extended and unnecessary conversation as the writer did not truly care about lack of breakfast however did care about the initial rudeness and lies received when asked about listed amenity.

We stayed here for 1 night while making our way around Mt Rainier. There is minimal sound proofing and no night staff. There was a loud party going on with no one to assist, so we had to put on a noise machine and it was a rough night. Overpriced for what it is, but comparable to everything else available in the area.

Check-in was easy and quick, and the beds were comfortable, which was appreciated after a long day. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was disappointing. The coffee machine in the room did not work properly, we had to hold our finger underneath and apply pressure the entire time just to get the coffee to drain, and you had to keep doing this until the cup was filled.
When I went to take a shower, the hot and cold were reversed, and even when turned to “cold” the water only reached barely lukewarm, resulting in a cold shower. I mentioned this to the front desk, and the staff member simply looked at me and said “okay,” with no apology, explanation, or offer to make it right.
This was especially disappointing because I stayed here previously and had a much better experience, which is why I chose to return. Unfortunately, given the poor facilities and lack of concern from staff, especially for the price, I will be finding another place to stay when I’m in the area. This stay was far too expensive for the level of quality provided.
There was also no parking available when we returned after celebrating the new year and ended up having to park tilted on a little gravel spot.

Best hotel on our roadtrip

Arrived to a precooled room in terrible heat wave. Welcomed by staff with fresh popcorn. Clean room with lovely towels. Watched elk from window over morning coffee

We were very cozy and comfortable. The attendant also recommended the Blue Spruce for dinner and the food was fabulous!

Not sure why it has such high ratings. The floor in our room was dirty, as was the floor outside our room. The beds are hard and uncomfortable and the ceilings and walls are thin. The room upstairs was loud and we could hear everything. Given other available options, we will not stay here again.

The front desk staff was unpleasant. The hotel lost power and running water on our first night, and refused to offer a refund or discount for the inconvenience.

The property provided the proximity to the park we were looking for during peak season when so much was booked during our last minute planning. It is true that walls are this and sound traveled. A highlight was waking up to 6+ Elk walking the road outside our window.

Unfortunately, the Crest Trail Lodge was one of the worst hotels I’ve stayed at in years. While lodging options in Packwood are limited, I recommend to look elsewhere. 3 things stood out in a negative way:
1- As mentioned in other reviews, the staff was the rudest I’ve ever experienced. I never felt welcome
2- There is virtually no sound proofing. We could hear every movement of our upstairs neighbours
3- The basics were not in place: poor wifi, no breakfast options

To be fair, the property is clean and comfortable. However, the front desk staff was quite unwelcoming during check-in. We arrived an hour early with a car full of luggage, but were bluntly told that early check-in was not possible and that they couldn’t store our bags. As a result, we had to visit the park with all our luggage in the car, which was inconvenient and disappointing. A bit more courtesy and flexibility would have made a big difference.

An otherwise decent experience sullied by an extremely rude staff member at check in.

The hotel had charged my card prior to arrival, which is normal and fine by me. But at check in, staff member “Ag” claimed that there was a state law that required my credit card to have printed numbers on it. I travel often, including in Washington state, and always using this credit card, and this is the first time I’m hearing of such a law. I’m happy for the property to point me to the law, but I suspect it just has antiquated processes.

The staff member refused to view the credit card number available on my bank app, which would have matched what she saw in her records. Instead, she insisted that she would refund the card and would need a payment card with the number printed.

Throughout this process, I was clarifying with her and asking about how my card would be refunded, and what alternative form of payment would be accepted. She was defensive and stated that we could “take our business elsewhere”. At one point she raised her voice and said loudly “don’t talk back to me” - ironic, given that she was cutting me off at various points and well, talking back to me.

I don’t have high expectations of service. But I do expect to be treated with a basic level of respect as a paying customer. I also expect hotels to update their processes, and not give excuses like “it’s the law” when that’s not the case.

Staff Needs Serious Training in Hospitality

AVOID AT ALL COST OF TRAVELING WITH KIDS (and maybe also without?).
We checked in at 8:30pm. The person working reception was too ‘busy’ to bother herself to show up, then was angry that we ringed the bell.
Told us 3 times not to leave the kids unattended. Yelled at my kid for touching a key card return box that was empty.
After getting to our room, I went back to the car to bring in the luggage.
Apparently our baby was crying, so she came to our room to tell me wife that if the baby won’t be quiet stop crying, she’ll need us to leave the hotel. Mind you, that was past 9pm and the crying lasted for MAYBE 2 minutes.

WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN THE PLACE AGAIN.

As for the rooms, we got the suite. While it was renovated and beds were ok, there are no curtains. Street light floods the room throughout the night and your morning will most likely start at 6am when the sun is up.

The ‘GO AWAY’ bear in our room perfectly captures the vibe of this place.

The AC smelled bad, and the shower faucet was installed incorrectly — the hot and cold were reversed. But the towels were clean.
