A quiet place nestled in the woods, perfect in terms of accessing Mount Rainier.

We liked being so close to Mt Rainier. Our room was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly.

This motel was so cute and safe. I was a little nervous that our room (3 beds) was the only room with French doors (with windows) not typically the door you want facing outwards. But everyone at the more were wonderful and made our stay enjoyable.

This place is small. If you stay for a long period of time. Be sure to buy food and supplies before entering Ashford. This is a literal bunkhouse. I brought a cooler for drinks and food. There cafe has some food and there is a diner near by. Dated facility because its a bunkhouse but this is what i was looking for and I only say this because some other people might expect more. Overall I enjoyed this place and would have stayed longer if my plans didn't change.

The advertisement for the room made it seem like it had more “charm.” When we asked if they had any board games to borrow (as I have seen at similar properties) the girl at the desk directed us to coloring pages they had. Ended up buying a deck of cards at the mountaineering store. The wifi was terrible/nonfunctional and no cell service there for us.

Historical building with veranda and rustic feel. Spacious, clean room with comfortable beds. On site cafe and bar/grill next door. Close to Paradise entrance of Mt Rainer.

Served its purpose for a night near Mt. Rainier. Very basic property. The two separate bedrooms with an adjoining bathroom worked well for our family.

The location was great. I guess not having a coffee maker made some of my stay not great. Part of this was due to the park's Time Entry system which was not your problem.

Pros: 15 min drive to Paradise Corridor entrance, very helpful and cheery staff
Cons: Small room furnished only with 2 twin beds, luggage rack and night table. A bit cramped and worn.

Whittaker's was exactly what we needed! The room was clean and the expected amenities. We really enjoyed that Basecamp was right next door. Easy to check in. Breakfast food was good! The "light breakfast" is just a freezer burrito, but the smoothies and English muffin were great. Overall we liked it a lot and would recommend it!

If you are looking for a place to stay near Mt.Rainier NP without breaking the bank, this might be a good option for you.
Just some things to consider...
First of all, I was shocked to find that this joint had such high ratings (even though most of the positive comments are about ice cream and pizza). I know part of the charm of this place is "roughing it" so when we arrived and realized there was no TV in the room, my reaction was "okay, oh well". But my wife and I arrived to a hot room with no air conditioning and two small fans. Both were caked in dirt/dust and one didn't even work.
Upon further inspection of the bathroom, shower and toilet were in desperate need of a good scrubbing. Water temperature and pressure were inconsistent. Ive taken better showers at backwoods campgrounds. The cherry on top was the rock-hard beds that prevented us from getting a good night's rest.
TLDR - probably best to spend a few extra bucks for 21st century amemities and a clean room somewhere else, but to each their own.

A few of the reviews here were less than charitable. We loved it though. Very cool mountaineering vibe. We sat outside and had wine at the picnic tables and then there was live music in the courtyard at the bar next door. It was an awesome evening.
