Gateway Inn & Cabins

We stayed in Room 24 on 10/8/2024 - $141.77/night. They called to confirm our arrival time, which I appreciated, understanding that the desk isn’t 24/7. Large, cute room. Fridge, microwave and coffee. Stand heater that kept the room toasty all night. The room had a stand shower – only two we’ve seen in all our travels. The beds were very comfortable with four pillows each. I’m not sure why the room had been hosed with air freshener, though – we had to run open the door, run the fan and light a candle to mitigate the smell - once the air freshener cleared out, the room smelled deliciously of wood. Decent WiFi and a Samsung Smart TV. The nightstands had USB ports and outlets. The only negatives were the wonky shower head placement and a loose board in the bathroom, which we covered with the rug from the front door. Grade B.

We were only here for a night to hike Mt Rainier the next day. We were a little nervous from the photos online, but in person the place was so much better than expected. We thought the cabins were adorable. RIGHT next to Mt Rainier’s park entrance which was super cool. The facilities themselves are a tad older, shower is a little tight, and room a little dim. We had zero wifi connection the night we stayed. However, we were only really there to get a good nights rest, so didn’t need anything exceptional. The place was clean and comfortable, and I would definitely consider coming back again. We also checked in after hours and the staff was friendly enough to leave us check in instructions for when we arrived.

Located right by the entrance to Mt Rainier National Park, the motel deserves its name. It is also near the outstanding Vopper Kettle restaurant where we enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner (but closes at 7.00pm). Our "cabin" was large and, usefully as we were battling jet lag, had two comfortable beds in separate rooms. Parking was right in front of the cabin.

The young man in charge was very nice and helpful. The location right next to the national park was good. Parking next to cabin. Beds were comfortable.

PERFECT location - literally at the entrance to Mt Rainier National Park. We had one of the newer cabins with two queen beds. It was exactly as pictured if not better and was clean, comfortable and beautiful. Wifi was excellent. The small fridge and microwave was great and beds were wonderful. We loved the reading lights over each bed and the small porch.
