The stay was OK. Lobby and front desk were not inviting and the room was a bit dated. Price was high for what you got. Felt safe and the elk that showed up in the evening and morning were the best part!

Not so great at the Cowlitz River Lodge
The room was nice and clean but it was not even close to the Cowlitz River. The staff was not friendly nor helpful - both at check-in and check-out. Will probably not ever stay at this hotel again.

Go enjoy the park then check in.
Very nice place but they are super strict about check in and shorthanded so don't expect to get in early or even right at 3:00. They no longer offer any kind of breakfast. Strange metal bedskirt that klanked every time you sat down or moved. Nice to have AC.

My rating of 3 is not at all a negative rating. It's just a fair rating so everyone has reasonable expectations. This is not the nicest, fanciest place you'd ever stay (a 5 rating), but it's definitely not the worst place you'd ever stay (a 1 rating). I don't think the people giving those ratings are being fair to the hotel operators or potential visitors. The room was basic, but clean. The lobby area wasn't much, but we didn't need it to be. I think there are some misleading pictures of the hotel that make it look better than it really is, but aside from that I don't really have any complaints. It's a small, independent hotel in a small town, serving a large national park that doesn't really have a lot of nearby, convenient lodging options.

Well located, friendly staff. Full disclosure : Wifi Internet is barely working in most of the rooms. Bandwidth was metered at 4 Mbps… if ever this is important to you.
