It was pleasant and quiet. Parking was a little confusing at 1st. Coffee was excellent! An extra chair or small table would have been nice.
Thanks!

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.

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.

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.

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.
