"I'll admit I didn't have high expectations for a small place in a little town (Cougar) - I just needed a place to sleep before summiting Mt St. Helens. I was pleasantly surprised how great this place is. The lady who checked me in (might be the owner) was very friendly and super-helpful. The room had all the modern amenities (Apple TV, chargers on the night stands, AC) and was clean and comfortable. I didn't have a chance to try the restaurant but I've heard it's good. Highly recommend"

"Not a five star hotel, so donโ€™t expect the perfect room. Needs TLC (some paint and a bit of small renovations. Ex: our mirror had burn marks at the top left and our bathroom had some paint chipping). But overall, really clean and convenient for the price. FYI- they were out of conditioner when we arrived so make sure to bring your own toiletries. Check in and out was quick and swift. Donโ€™t worry about not having free breakfast either. Woodland has great breakfast options (Mattโ€™s Diner, Red Leaf Coffee, etc.). 45 minute drive to Ape Canyon, Mount St. Helens. Great area for access to the south side of the mountain."
