When we arrived, we were very excited to stay at Paradise Inn right next to the great Mt Rainier. We knew we were staying in the Annex and we were told our room was on the first floor, which is the bottom floor in the Annex. There are no elevators in the Annex, so we had to drag our luggage,...

Context: a 7 day trip to hike and explore Mount Rainier Postives: Historic lodge with beautiful lobby, excellent restaurant with great service, friendly and helpful front desk staff, excellent location for hiking trail heads, good lobby store, Negatives: typical national park lodge with "cheap motel" type rooms and bathrooms, difficult parking, can be very crowded

We have stayed at other historic inns in the national parks like the Paradise Inn. So we were prepared for "rustic" accommodations. Even considering that, I'd say that overall Paradise Inn was below our expectations. If you stay here, be advised that: 1) It is very expensive for what you get. We got one of the lower priced rooms to... More

Only 90 miles from the airport, but it seemed longer as we appeared to drive right around the mountain before ascending it! What a superb location under a magnificent mountain. The "park lodge" type room was more than adequate complete with a great view (several deer appeared under the window one day). The food and drink were first class and... More

Really pretty traditional inn in the middle of the National Park. We stayed in the old part of the lodge, without an ensuite bathroom, but the shared showers and toilets were really clean and not too busy, so don’t let that put you off. Only downside was the food options, especially in the evening. As far as we could work... More

The Paradise inn was a perfect place to base and enjoy the park, staff were friendly and knowledgable. The inn is Beautiful! It was clean comfortable lots of public areas great views!! Hiking right out side the front entrance fantastic wild flowers, deer, a bear, marmots. Food was average but not outragously priced like some parks.

The Paradise Inn is expensive for what it is - except for the fact that it is truly in Paradise! We went in August when the wildflowers were in bloom and Rainier was in all its glory. We stayed in a queen room with private bath, in the lodge annex. The room itself is nothing special. The heater control is... More

We stayed one night in the National Park Inn and the next night in Paradise Inn so here’s a comparison. First, the forest fires cast smoke over the entire mountain so it wasn’t all we had hoped for – but still, it is one absolutely impressive mountain. The National Park Inn is small, quaint, homey, very friendly but the rooms... More

I have stayed in a number of National Park lodges, so even after reading critical TripAdvisor reviews I thought I had the proper expectations. Unfortunately, this ended up being the worst lodge I have stayed in by far. The only positive is the location and proximity to trails. While I understand that it's a historic building, there's really no excuse... More
