Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately, the Crest Trail Lodge was one of the worst hotels I’ve stayed at in years. While lodging options in Packwood are limited, I recommend to look elsewhere. 3 things stood out in a negative way: 1- As mentioned in other reviews, the staff was the rudest I’ve ever experienced. I never felt welcome 2- There is virtually no sound proofing. We could hear every movement of our upstairs neighbours 3- The basics were not in place: poor wifi, no breakfast options

Disliked: Staff & service
To be fair, the property is clean and comfortable. However, the front desk staff was quite unwelcoming during check-in. We arrived an hour early with a car full of luggage, but were bluntly told that early check-in was not possible and that they couldn’t store our bags. As a result, we had to visit the park with all our luggage in the car, which was inconvenient and disappointing. A bit more courtesy and flexibility would have made a big difference.
