I was absolutly lied to by Expedia. I was not booked into a pet room. They had none with a king bed left. They did have a queen available. Nor was I told by Expedia that there was an adfitional $25 charge per night for our dog. Already bring herre we had no choice. I should have known better. This was not the 1st time I have been sorely disappointed in a booking agent. I know now. I will let everyone that asks know too.My app has been deleted. Jill Berry

A pleasant surprise.

This little hotel is an oasis on the doorstep of Mt. Rainier. The chamber has it going on, as the hotel is adjacent to the newly built dinner theater. The staff is friendly, the location is great and the rooms are clean, the location is quiet.

Best place in Yelm and for an hour around it.

this place was extremely comfortable and accommodating, and we really enjoyed our stay there. I only wish it was in Olympia not Yelm because we are not in Yelm very long. The quality of the room is such that driving out of the way to stay is worth it.
