What guests think

At Nisqually Lodge, travelers highlight the convenient proximity to the Mount Rainier Nisqually entrance, generally clean and comfortable rooms with rustic charm, and friendly, accommodating staff, creating an easy base for hiking days and quiet, cozy evenings.

Common downsides include thin walls and upstairs footfall leading to noise for some, no elevator to second-floor rooms, and occasional housekeeping lapses or maintenance quirks. There is no on-site breakfast or restaurant, though free lobby coffee is offered and nearby spots exist, sometimes with limited hours; prices can feel high in peak season. Expect a straightforward, comfortable stay suited to hikers and families.

Nestled close to the park entrance, Nisqually Lodge is a peaceful getaway, thanks to its quiet location. A helpful tip for guests would be to ask for ground floor rooms. These are not only more accessible but also save you the trouble of maneuvering your suitcases up flights of stairs. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Ours was spacious, well-kept, and furnished in a way that was pleasant for us Stepping into the lodge, you're welcomed by a cozy lobby area, complete with amenities like a FREE wifi, coffee station, a computer, and a refrigerator. Hosts were cordial and had friendly demeanor, making us welcome. Located in the small town of Ashford, Nisqually Lodge is surrounded by a handful of restaurants, all within a short five-minute drive.

Lovely lodge and close to Rainier. Service was great and able to answer our questions and give recommendations. Comfortable and clean rooms. Laundry was available but outside so we skipped it that day. Stairs and no elevator but we managed.

Kids and grandkids all together. The room had 4 queen size beds and 2 bathrooms. It was huge and fantastic for a fun family game night vacation. We booked the room to add the adventure along with The Polar Express. Excellent family memories made. The lobby was exceptionally cozy. Complimentary coffee/ coco bar. Nice fireplace and lounge area. The large family room is in its own building which was perfect with the little ones running around having so much fun. The sofa pulled out into a bed. The kids loved that. Woke up and minutes away from Mt Rainier Nisqually entrance. Finished the trip off with a drive to Paradise and some fun snow time. Will definitely be returning to this gem.

The lodge is a little bit older than some places I've stayed, but it was clean. The bed was very comfortable. The front desk was great to work with and was able to accommodate our extra needs, which we were very grateful for. The view outside our window could not be beat. I was especially thankful for the mini fridge and microwave in our room.

This lodge was just okay. The front desk was not helpful or friendly really, mostly just rude. The lodge itself is convenient to the park though. The Ukrainian restaurant is great, it’s next door. Wouldn’t stay here again, but it was fine. Walls VERY VERY thin! Wasn’t a problem for us until the last night but we were still able to sleep. They didn’t clean the room well before we got there, we found someone’s purse that had stayed there before.

Nisqually Lodge is a convenient place to stay if you plan to hike/visit Mt Rainier/Paradise. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. They offered complementary tea/coffee/bananas. The bed/pillows weren’t quite as comfortable as we’d like, but they may be just fine for someone else. The shower was AMAZING! Great water pressure and there was plenty of hot water. We did notice that the walls weren’t well insulated, meaning we woke up to someone snoring in the room next to ours several times. :) That being said, I would still choose to stay here so that says a lot.

We booked a room with two queens through Hotels.com. I’m not sure who mixed this up, but when we arrived, they had us in a room with only one king. The woman at check in was very apologetic and managed to squeeze in two cots, then give us a significant discount, but I’m not sure how they didn’t have our room in the first place. I thought that’s why we made a reservation. All in all, the agent at the desk was great to work with, but the stay wasn’t ideal.
