National Park Inn

What a lovely inn! National Park Inn is both historic and modern. We loved the friendly and expert wait staff in the dining room, the patient and accessibe front desk staff answerng a million questions, the large porch veranda for afternoon reading and dozing in rocking chairs, the afternoon tea served with scones in the living room, the comfortable rooms and accessibility to all things Mt. Ranier. We chose the hotel plan (5 night) with breakfast and dinner. The staff get to konw you quickly and are friendly and smart and gracious. The room we chose was the double with sink....we shared showers and bathrooms with others on the floor. This was not a hassle. We never saw anyone else! It is more like a European experience of shared facilities but everyone is quite respectful and so the whole experience is lovely and comfortatble. We are 75. We loved the hiking and the National Park Inn and all things Mount Ranier. We hope to be back when we're 80!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. As long as your expectations are realistic, you will too. For starters, it's inside the park entrance, so you have a head start on everyone else heading up to the Jackson Visitor Center in the morning. I booked a room with a private bath, which meant we did not have to share with others. My wife was very relieved about this. They say there's no wifi or cell service, but we got one bar with Verizon sitting at our window, and there's a spot near the ranger station where I got two or three, so I could sit at a picnic table and do whatever internet stuff I needed to do if it was too slow in our room. Yes, it can get hot, but we kept both windows open (our room was on the corner) and used a fan to keep the air circulating. It might be an issue in August, but in late June it was fine. We enjoyed the general store too and would have liked to try the restaurant but didn't get the chance. Front desk staff were always kind and helpful.

The peaceful ness of a no tv, no electronic, lodge in the wilderness is just the perfect place. I would go stay again.

Great property. Surprisingly good food. Nice staff. Great hiking trails.

Beautiful view from the front porch, both evening and morning!

inside the park, so surroundings are beautiful with hiking out the back door. room was small and pricey (it is a national park) wonderful sitting room with fire and tea at night. restaraunt was good, but also pricey.
