The lodge area is nice and full of fire places and cozy areas to rest and enjoy a good drink with company or a great book, the piano player was fantastic, I could have listened to him all night. Our room was on the first floor all the way at the bottom, at first I thought I'd get a nice... More

We booked the first weekend of the season, May 24, 2013. The lodge had just opened up. I really can't believe they even open this place up with 20 ft of snow still on the ground. This was my first experience with a "national park lodge" and I was really disappointed. First, after a long drive to the Inn, we... More

This hotel at 6000ft on the slopes of Mt. Rainier has been a special paradise for people for around 100 years. The hotel is made of wood and it has one of the most beautiful lobby's I have ever seen in a national park. The rooms are small and cozy but with bath place shared in the corridors. The suites...

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.
