Kazi

Disliked: Staff & service
The front desk staff were a bit rude throughout our stay. From the moment we checked in, the experience felt unwelcoming. When we first received our room keys, I was putting my credit card away and the receptionist immediately called out “next” without even a simple “thank you” or “welcome.” During our stay, each time I went to the lobby, the interactions felt awkward and uncomfortable. For example, when our room keys stopped working and I asked for assistance, the receptionist seemed surprised—as if it was unusual—and instead of handling it calmly, she began ranting. It made the situation unnecessarily unpleasant. Overall, the front desk team could definitely improve on basic hospitality, courtesy, and professionalism.

Staff were not friendly. The man at reception was quite rude about a simple request for housekeeping. Also had issue with shower not draining. Room was fine otherwise.

OK Motel

This is a motel, not a "lodge" . As so it's a basic (yet ok) motel in a very small location. Ok to crash for a night, not more.

Great location if you were visiting Mount Rainier National Park and surrounding area. My room was spacious, clean, quiet with comfortable bed, mini-fridge, microwave and coffee machine. Wifi is free but speed in my room was less than 5 mbs. Parking ample and free. I would have given this hotel higher rating was it not for the complete absence of room service.
