Whittaker's was exactly what we needed! The room was clean and the expected amenities. We really enjoyed that Basecamp was right next door. Easy to check in. Breakfast food was good! The "light breakfast" is just a freezer burrito, but the smoothies and English muffin were great. Overall we liked it a lot and would recommend it!

If you are looking for a place to stay near Mt.Rainier NP without breaking the bank, this might be a good option for you. Just some things to consider... First of all, I was shocked to find that this joint had such high ratings (even though most of the positive comments are about ice cream and pizza). I know part of the charm of this place is "roughing it" so when we arrived and realized there was no TV in the room, my reaction was "okay, oh well". But my wife and I arrived to a hot room with no air conditioning and two small fans. Both were caked in dirt/dust and one didn't even work. Upon further inspection of the bathroom, shower and toilet were in desperate need of a good scrubbing. Water temperature and pressure were inconsistent. Ive taken better showers at backwoods campgrounds. The cherry on top was the rock-hard beds that prevented us from getting a good night's rest. TLDR - probably best to spend a few extra bucks for 21st century amemities and a clean room somewhere else, but to each their own.

Great Vibe

A few of the reviews here were less than charitable. We loved it though. Very cool mountaineering vibe. We sat outside and had wine at the picnic tables and then there was live music in the courtyard at the bar next door. It was an awesome evening.

Definitely more "Historic Bunkhouse" than "Motel". The rooms are VERY sparse and rustic: not much in the way of power outlets, camp beds with foamy mattresses, no tv, spotty wi-fi, no extra space or furniture (like a chair?) in the room, no hair dryer in the bathroom - just the absolute basics. Like I said, more bunkhouse than motel, but a decent place to crash for the night if you're on your way to or from Mount Rainier. Wouldn't recommend it to people who appreciate the basic comforts provided by most hotels/motels, but great for the outdoor enthusiast who just needs a place to sleep, shower, and go.

It is a great place to stay for visiting Mt Rainer. Or just hiking in the area. The staff were primarily college age. Very pleasant. The one frustration was that the internet was very unreliable.

A nice property if you know what to expect. It is a clean, basic accommodation with no frills. I wanted a place to stay after a strenuous hike to Camp Muir and this was fine for my needs. You should note there is no TV, AC, in-room coffee, and the advertised free wifi didn't work.

It’s 6 miles to the national park entrance. With a timed entry passes starting from 2024, this property is a good option for an affordable rate. The interiors are decent , don’t expect a Marriott or holiday inn service.
