Clean, cozy, spacious. Perfect for after a day hiking!

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.
10.0 / 10.0
For climbers its perfect as a base camp. Its just a little tired and could use an updatimg. The staff are excellent. I would not hesitate to book again.

Clean & comfortable.
6.0 / 10.0
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.
5.0 / 10.0
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.
4.0 / 10.0
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.
4.0 / 10.0
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.
6.0 / 10.0
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.
10.0 / 10.0
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!

4.0 / 10.0
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.
4.0 / 10.0
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.
6.0 / 10.0
Definitely more "Historic Bunkhouse" than "Motel". The rooms are VERY sparse and rustic: not much in the way of power outlets, camp beds with foamy mattresses, no tv, spotty wi-fi, no extra space or furniture (like a chair?) in the room, no hair dryer in the bathroom - just the absolute basics. Like I said, more bunkhouse than motel, but a decent place to crash for the night if you're on your way to or from Mount Rainier. Wouldn't recommend it to people who appreciate the basic comforts provided by most hotels/motels, but great for the outdoor enthusiast who just needs a place to sleep, shower, and go.
4.0 / 10.0
It is a great place to stay for visiting Mt Rainer. Or just hiking in the area. The staff were primarily college age. Very pleasant.
The one frustration was that the internet was very unreliable.
10.0 / 10.0
Beds were a little hard but it was rustic ... Very close to events downtown and eating. Grocery store close by.
NO Air Conditioning - had to leave windows open all the time

Pretty basic with sketchy wifi. No free coffee.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the vibe and enjoyed the cafe each morning.
8.0 / 10.0
A nice property if you know what to expect. It is a clean, basic accommodation with no frills. I wanted a place to stay after a strenuous hike to Camp Muir and this was fine for my needs. You should note there is no TV, AC, in-room coffee, and the advertised free wifi didn't work.
8.0 / 10.0
Great place to stay for RMI Rainier trips. Room, especially bathroom (water damage) needs a bit of upkeep.
8.0 / 10.0
It’s 6 miles to the national park entrance. With a timed entry passes starting from 2024, this property is a good option for an affordable rate. The interiors are decent , don’t expect a Marriott or holiday inn service.
8.0 / 10.0
Loved our stay here! Convenient to get coffee in mornings from the adjoined shop. Good location to get to mt rainier, and still close to food options! Only catch was didn’t realize how small rooms were. It worked fine for us only staying 2 days, but would’ve been a bit cramped for longer.
10.0 / 10.0
This is such a great place to stay if you're visiting Rainier. It's right outside the park gates, the rooms are big, clean, and comfortable, and there's a great cafe right on the property to pick up breakfast on your way to the park. Also, a clean, well-maintained hot tub to relax in after your hike. The food next door is good, the store will have any gear you forgot, and the whole property is very nice. Definitely recommend!

The bathroom was not good. The shower was a dribble the first night and not very hot the other 2 days. No hooks anywhere to hang towels. No space to put anything.
2.0 / 10.0
Very basic room, no sound proofing so could hear people walking in other rooms (wooden floor) including upstairs. No hair dryers, no tv, room small and considering it was a motel there was no parking outside. Nice little cafe they have, good range of drinks and ice cream. I think food could have been better.
