My rating of 3 is not at all a negative rating. It's just a fair rating so everyone has reasonable expectations. This is not the nicest, fanciest place you'd ever stay (a 5 rating), but it's definitely not the worst place you'd ever stay (a 1 rating). I don't think the people giving those ratings are being fair to the hotel operators or potential visitors. The room was basic, but clean. The lobby area wasn't much, but we didn't need it to be. I think there are some misleading pictures of the hotel that make it look better than it really is, but aside from that I don't really have any complaints. It's a small, independent hotel in a small town, serving a large national park that doesn't really have a lot of nearby, convenient lodging options.

Well located, friendly staff. Full disclosure : Wifi Internet is barely working in most of the rooms. Bandwidth was metered at 4 Mbps… if ever this is important to you.

The location is convenient to the park; the room was quiet, clean and neat. The downsides were that the front desk person was not that nice and the room door is open to outside directly and there were a couple of flies in the room!

Room was a good size. Gentleman who checked us in was not friendly. The toilet was so loud and sounded like it was going to break when we flushed it. Also the shower sounded the same when we used it.

Front desk fast and friendly. Clean room and comfortable bed. Quiet, so slept like a baby. Got to see two elk roaming in the back from the window:). Only stayed one night and left early, but enjoyed my stay.

This is a solid 4.5 property. It is a bit older but the remodeling to the room was very nicely done, creating a large, warm, inviting space with warm wood tones appropriate to the beautiful natural surroundings. The microwave and the generously sized refrigerator were definitely a plus! One the outside, there is an attempt to spruce things up with flowers and some nice touches. However, there were some cobwebs about on the exterior area of the lodge. We stayed only a few days and we will return if given the chance. This is a solid place to stay while enjoying all of the natural beauty within a few miles of the motel. Packwood is a neat little town full of friendly people. The ladies at the town welcome center were very friendly and helpful!
