“Best bet for early Mount St Helens”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

The Mount St Helen's motel is good value for the money. It is clean, well maintained and the friendly staff were helpful. Wifi in all rooms. Good food within walking distance (Mexican restaurant across the street and then walk through the drive through for ice cream on the other side of Berger King. Very good breakfast from 6am at Peper's 49er restaurant around the corner.) Most valuable is that you will beat the traffic to see Mount St Helens.
We mounted our Honda GoldWings at 8am and took 90 minutes for the minimum 45 minute drive to Johnson's ridge overlooking M S Helen's and had time to stop and enjoy the vistas (Elk creek bridge is awesome) with almost no other traffic. This is an under appreciated place to stay.

Room Tip: All rooms are good.

“avoid if possible”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011 via mobile

We read tripadvisor reviews and decided to stay here as it was closest to Mt St Helens. Very disappointed in this old style/ old fashioned motel.

Rooms were dark and dreary; dark flooring, totally bare walls, very little light and impossible to read. A/C noisy. Towels were frayed at edges and very small.

No coffeemaker. to get a cup of coffee you actually have to leave the building to get to the lobby. no breakfast offered, just doughnuts.

If a flat screen TV is of paramount importance, they have one in an old fashioned cabinet. The room is large.

Would suggest staying somewhere else, even if you have to drive 10 miles extra.

“Clean and Reasonably Priced”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

Like the reviewer before, we paid $87 for a large, clean room. All rooms are equipped with queen size beds, according to the front desk. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was nicely equipped with Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, refrigerator, and microwave. Free pastries and coffee in the morning. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice and reasonably priced motel.

We chose this hotel due to Trip Advisor reviews - Thanks!

“Nice, big, clean rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

We paid 87$ for the room and it was excellent. Clean with fridge, microwave, nice big flat screen TV. Free coffee and donuts in the lobby. Free Wi-Fi that was working perfectly. Nothing bad to say about this place!
