This hotel out of all of the hotels in my county which is Lewis or Cowlitz County Washington has the most amazing accommodating staff respectful allows checking from 5 AM on the day you're checking in and you don't have to check out until 12 PM in the next day the rooms are beautiful queen and quiet What I am assuming is the owner is the most sweetest woman ever I totally recommend this place read more

This place is a gem, so convenient and the cleanest motel I've ever stayed in. The owner was a hoot and we had everything we needed for a lovely night sleep passing through town. If I am ever back in the general area I would go out of my way to stay here again. read more

I LOVED this place! They were so accommodating and we were able to meet the owner who was in fact, the sweetest lady. We showed up later than expected and she was more than welcoming. They also had donuts and coffee in the morning. It was great read more

This was the best Motel I have visited in years. We had the opportunity to stay 2 nights and it was amazing. The rooms are clean- they have housekeeping services and washer and dryers to wash your clothes. The owner is very sweet and has run this business since she had it built. There are restaurants close by and Castle Rock is a very cute town with lots of flowers and small businesses. The room rate was very reasonable. There is coffee AND pastries in the office. The employees were kind, friendly and went above and beyond... I give this establishment a 10 ! read more

Only stayed 1 night. Wished it was longer. One of the cleanest. Most quiet,nicest management, easy to get in and out of. Spaciest, nice refrigerator, and microwave. The place smelt new. Had free pastries, and coffee for breakfast. Nice Mexican restaurant across the street. Easy to walk to ate there.Had great food. And the price is very reasonable. Can't wait to stop here again. And the road to Mt St Helens is right outside the door. read more

Mt St Helens Motel - Our double Queen room. Beds very comfortable. - Hotels Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

A group of us stayed here for a weekend so that we could play on Mount St. Helens. I chose Helens motel since it is located 1-1/2 hours away in each direction of my chosen hikes. I reserved four (4) rooms by making a phone call to Ellen. A deposit was not required to hold my rooms. I reserved my rooms in March for a stay in October. After I hung up with Ellen, Ellen emailed me a confirmation of my reservation. Through email, Ellen was able to assist me with any further questions that I had such as: dining recommendations and outdoor adventures. Upon check-in, full payment is required. Discover is an accepted form of payment. The total price of our room for a Friday and Saturday night was $147.40. Helens is a motel, meaning that amenities are slim. The ice machine is located in the lobby. Complimentary coffee, donuts and daily newspapers are also located in the lobby. The lobby closes at 10pm so be sure to get your ice before closing time. None of us had any problems connecting to the internet via our phones during our stay. Our room, 204 (located on the 2nd level) was clean and suited our purposes perfectly. It was a blast from the past to use an actual door key to our room since most establishments use key cards. Our room had two queen sized beds, a mini-fridge, microwave and a flat-screen TV (unable to connect out our Amazon Fire TV Stick). Hygiene product isn't offered (shampoo only) so be sure to bring yours from home. Room 204 looks out over the parking lot and highway. The parking lot is quite large with a good deal of parking available. I loved looking outside in the early morning and witnessing a full lot. Since the rooms aren't meant for large groups of people, we all brought our own chairs, a couple of tables, a propane heater and games that we set up outside to further enjoy each others company. There are a few restaurants withing walking distance of Helens which is nice after a day of playing hard and driving several hours. Thank you Helens for offering a clean establishment for us all to rest our weary bones after playing hard in your backyard. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to future stays. Mount St. Helens is a temperamental beauty. read more

The owners treat employees poorly and treat guests like children. This is not a family friendly place. The owners are not knowledgeable in customer service or in running a buisness. There are 2 other resorts on silver lake l, silver cove and streeters. They have cabins also and nicer compassionate owners read more

Beds didn't Didn't Have cleans linens and refrigerator had Someone personal items in it... I had recommended to family out of town. whoEver was working there had a horrible attitude...wouldn't recommend ever again read more

Very nice! Friendly staff from booking to checkin. Love the bed! Across the parking lot to a nice restaurant and on the route to Mt St. Helens. Clean, lovely room with microwave and fridge. Sink is outside the bathroom for ease of two or more getting ready. read more

Great price and good location off I-5 far enough away so you can't hear the freeway, on the road that heads towards Mt. St. Helens National Monument. Rooms are extremely clean and large with nice furnishings. Even better, you can walk across the parking lot to a reasonably priced restaurant and lounge, Parkers. Perfect stopover between Portland and Seattle. read more

I found this hotel on Yelp. The reviews were pretty spot on. The hotel manager Helen (I think that was her name) was delightful, helpful and it really shows that she enjoys what she does for a living. We stayed 2 days. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the free coffee and donuts provided early in the morning. The nightly stay was affordable and the area is perfectly located right off highway 5. When you first walk down the lobby headed for your room - the smell is a bit funky - but not that bad of a deterrent. This hotel is cute and quaint and is right across an adorable wine tasting venue. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. read more

So I decided to have a spontaneous date night and got me and my girl the hammerhead package witch included our night stay at the lodge, $60 for dinner and $30 for breakfast. Well if I must be honest the stay was the only good thing about this place the hotel is great however dinner was horrible especially for the price both me and my girl were so disappointed she got a clam dish I ordered a 10oz ribeye we also got to start port side ceviche and Scooby snacks (minie corndogs) when we got our food it was cold literally everything but what just came out the fryer witch was the corndogs our waitress was very unprofessional she knew nothing literally had to ask for everything we needed menu drink menu what our package consisted of she even made me get up to walk out the restaurant to the hotel front desk to see what our package included when it clearly said to let your server know... we blew it off finished our food and just continued with the night we were told drinks can be delivered to our room when we called room service both the front desk and the pub we got no answers we had to end up walking back down to the lobby after calling multiple times breakfast came delivered to our door in the morning and once again food was cold not even enjoyable There we're no condiments to go with the breakfast I got chicken fried steak and my girl got a lil breakfast plate with eggs and toast my chicken fried steak way over cooked and burnt, potatoes cold I didnt even eat it it was so damn dry i DO NOT recommend eating at this specific location at all the hotel experience was the only cool thing about the place and also the beer they did have good beers so overall the stay was decent but the food here literally trash I've had better service at a motel 6 read more

We got stuck in Castle Rock late one night in April 2017 with an electric car that needed charging and the nearest charging station out of order, so we called local motels and this one not only was still open very late but kindly allowed us to plug our car into an outlet to trickle charge it overnight. They were life savers that night and I just found the receipt with a note on it reminding myself to "give a good Yelp review!" so I apologize for the lengthy delay!! Also the nightly rate was reasonable ($65) and we were only surprised by the room tax because we don't stay in motels often and didn't realize there was tax. Or maybe it's because we live in Oregon and forget there's tax in Washington? Anyway, I would love to return here someday under more delightful and less stressful circumstances!! Hopefully that will be in a post pandemic Pacific Northwest where there are some good vibes in a peaceful and safe society. read more

Mt St Helens Motel - Saved receipt- I'm only three years late.............. - Hotels Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

Comfortable and roomy wheelchair accessible rooms. Bathroom has plenty of space to manuever. Raised toilet seat and tranfer bench available. Has built in shower chair. Shower only. Very friendly and helpful staff. Has knowledge of "things to do" in the area. read more

We picked this motel by chance - Google had a bunch of options, we weren't really sure where we should be looking to overnight before heading to the mountain, but the name (and the very reasonable price) sealed the deal. Ellen was wonderful. Super chatty, gave great advice for how to go about our drive through, and was clearly invested in providing the best experience for her guests. I'm not sure if all the rooms are ADA, but the one we got was (we didn't request it but if not all of them are ADA she must've noticed my disability and given us one). Rooms super clean and comfy, good Wi-Fi access, mildly rustic feel without being too "kitschy". Loved the bear statues out front! Breakfast in a cozy nook in the lobby was really just perfect - a selection of doughnuts and actually *good* coffee. All in all, atmosphere, cleanliness, proximity to the park, assistance by the host, and super reasonable prices should draw anybody here. read more

Came upon this little gem of a hotel while house hunting from California. Castle Rock is a very beautiful small town within about an hour of Portland and 2 from Seattle. My husband and I were getting tired and googled hotels around here. This hotel and only one other in the area so we went with this one..and we are glad we did. The lady at the front desk Ellen was beyond helpful and knowledgeable and answered all 500 questions we asked she really made this motel feel like a temporary home. There's always a pot of fresh coffee and donuts when you wake up. The rooms are basic hotel motel rooms but very clean. The beds were pretty good and I was thrilled with the cleanliness! Hopefully we end up getting a home in this lovely town but if we don't I know where we'll be staying again. Thanks for everything Ellen! You are a wonderful host! read more

Mt St Helens Motel - Hotels Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

This place is awesome and Ma Rose is a gem! Family-owned, very reasonable and super clean.

Dont be fooled by these reviews. The owner is very nice and the exterior of the motel looks good, but the place should have been gutted. Very old construction and the room has a funky smell. The kind of smell that only old roadside motels can have. It'll do in a pinch, but much better options available just 10 miles down the freeway in Longview read more

This motel is everything in the reviews and more. Ellen is the sweetest, most sincere woman I have ever met. She has touched my family in a way she will never know, we are forever grateful for her, words can't express how thankful we are. There isn't another human being that would do what she has done for complete strangers, without any expectations or anything in return. Ellen is truly one of a kind, a blessing in disguise! And to think, we almost got a room across the street....everything happens for a reason! read more

Great price for a quiet, clean and no frills motel. We did laundry $2 total. They supplied detergent. Beds were comfortable. Good coffee and yummy pastries were provided. Owner was super friendly. read more

The Mt St Helens Motel is very comfortable and as others mentioned CLEAN. The beds were very comfortable, as were the pillows. There aren't a lot of "frills" but I don't require that. The price was very reasonable. As others have mentioned, the innkeeper, Ellen was friendly, helpful and available. It definitely felt like a family endeavor and everyone was welcoming and nice. We were there for a couple of days and looked forward to coming "home" to this place. There are many wonderful things to see and do in the area and this makes a great home base. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. read more

We were scheduled to stay at the motel five days from today. We had reserved three rooms over the phone in April. Unfortunately my father-in-law had a health crisis today, and we had to cancel all three rooms. The owner or manager Ellen Rose could not have been more lovely about the cancellation. We hope to be able to visit the motel in the future. Five stars for lovely customer service. read more

This is by far the best choice among the options given. By far. Friendly, fair price, big rooms, refrigerators, walking distance to several places to eat. I've stayed in them all, this is the only one I recommend. Book early during "high season". read more

The Mt St Helens Motel is not like staying at the average roadside inn. It's as if the proprietor Ellen has invited you into her clean and cozy home. Your a truly a guest,. I heartily recommend this charming spot if you want to stay close to Mt St Helens or just stopping along I5 for the night. read more

Really great customer service! We were vacationing in the area when we had to make an emergency trip to the hospital in Morton, where weren't discharged until around midnight, and drove quite a ways until we found somewhere that was open that late at night and had availability. I think we must have woken the innkeep up, because she met us in the lobby in her robe and had clearly closed up for the night hours before. We were so very appreciative of her accommodating us that I couldn't not leave a review. The motel's exterior is quite unassuming, but the room was both very clean and comfortable, and looked like it had been recently updated. read more

The rooms are sizable, was extremely clean (the most important consideration), the staff friendly and helpful, conveniently located by I-5 and on the way to St Helens and was competitively priced. Would stay there again. read more

Great place for the $!! Came to see Mt. St. Helens, was a little weary because it's a motel, but our stay was excellent!!! It was Quiet & friendly staff. There is also a restaurant across the parking lot and a winery! read more

This motel is like a breath if fresh air! The owner Ellen is very friendly and has done a great job decorating and keeping everything held to a high standard. The rooms are large, clean, and have comfortable beds and nice furniture. They have lots of parking and a restaurant next door which we did not try. I gave this 5 stars because it is as far as motels go. If your looking for a 5 star, high rise hotel it's probably not for you! read more

Mt St Helens Motel - A front view of the lobby. - Hotels Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

Super clean. Very comfy bed. A microwave and fridge. Right near everything we wanted, trail info, food, coffee and right off the interstate. The only difference between a chain hotel and this place is the mini shampoo bottles. read more

I stayed of Labor Day weekend. This was an inexpensive and friendly hotel and as the name suggests, it is near Mt St Helens. Staying here, you have fairly easy access to both sides of the mountain. I've stayed here twice, and was pleased both times and will stay again. read more

Two years later and we still stay at the Mt. St. Helens Motel when we visit family in the area. It's located near the highway, good price, clean, spacious, and a great place for a good nights rest on your journey to Mt. St. Helens or continue on the highway to your next destination. This place is nice and quiet, next to Parkers (decent food) and across the street from Papa Pete's (yummy pizza). Ellen, the owner, is really sweet and we look forward to seeing her on our next visit! read more

Ellen was very very nice. The price was great. It was very clean, quiet and convenient (restaurant just across the parking lot.) I was the recipient of a very kind gift after we left... Ellen found my kindle and book light and promptly mailed it back to me. She even paid the $10 shipping cost! There is very little chance that another place would let me know that I left my precious kindle, yet alone mail it back to me for free. I highly recommend this motel. read more

Ellen is lovely. The motel was clean and as others have said 'without frills'. There is also a guest laundry. The best option in Castle Rock particulalry if you plan to visit Mt. St. Helens and the surrounding area. Very close to I-5, the visitor centre and also on the road up to Johnston Ridge Observatory. read more

We loved the Mount Saint Helens motel, Ellen is so nice and accommodating. The motel is clean and a great overnight stop into Mount Saint Helens read more

Stopped at Parkers restaurant next door for a meal (excellent). It was getting late, so decided to inquire if they had a room for the night. What a treat to talk with Ellen. She gave us a room at a great rate, helped with suggestions for traveling the park and food in the area. We felt as if we were a part of the family. Room was comfortable and clean, but without the frills. Great location. Highly recommended! read more

Fine little motel for the price. Hubbie and I were on a quick getaway for the weekend. The bed was comfortable (although a couple more pillows would have been nice), the TV reasonable to negotiate, there were comfortable chairs and a big window we left open all night for fresh air. Would have given 4 stars except tne shower shrieked like a banshee the whole time it was on and the bathroom fan was so loud you felt like there was a semi truck idling in the room with you. Otherwise the room was basic but comfortable and clean. read more

Comfortable rooms with everything you need. What this place lacks in fanciness, it makes up for in the BEST customer service. My coworkers and I have stayed here frequently for work over the past few years, and the staff at this hotel earned our loyalty right from the get-go. We keep coming back! read more
