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.

It was a little older. Needs some minor touch ups. Air conditioner was way too loud. Difficult to sleep when it was running and had to have it running as it was too warm without it.

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.

Everything was great except for the dining options. It was a small town with few places to eat. Also the TV reception was awful. We couldn’t watch anything without constant interruptions or complete loss of service.

There were 2 screws sticking out about 1/4 inch from the middle of the floor entry and I stepped on them twice injuring my foot. I told the staff about them and they already knew about the problem, but never bothered to fix them. The place is old and a bit shabby, but probably on par for the area. The shower head needs replacing. Very few outlets to plug adapters into. But they do provide outlets to charge EVs, though only at 120v.

Watching the herd of elk out our back window was a treat. The property is quiet and spacious. The outside of the building could have used a power wash but everything inside was clean and appealing with rustic cabin style decor. I would stay again. Be aware that breakfast choices in town are limited so breakfast would have been a nice extra.

While we were within normal Checkin times, we had to wait 5 or so minutes for the gentleman to arrive at the desk. Appeared he was next door at the gas station getting his snacks. He was not hospitable at all. Bathtub still had hair and dirt in it, and what appeared to be the rag to be used to clean said tub was clean, dry, and sitting on the edge of the tub.
