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.

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!

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

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.

Not worth it.

No tv, and no pool stated on site. Noisy log trucks flying by. We stayed 2hrs and checked out.

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.

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!
