Room was clean and fine. Staff was grumpy and acted like you were a bother. Not tracking rooms-gave a second customer a key to a room already occupied by a member of my family-very unsafe. Stay away from Cowlitz River Lodge.

Slow internet. Gentleman at front desk was short with answers. Location was not full the night before ( off season between summer and ski) but would not allow us to check in a little early. Wanted to get a hike in yet that afternoon but had food in car. Ended up going to a brewery.
