Cascade Mountain Suites - Mt. Baker Hotel

I could not have asked for a better stay! The new managers , Heather and Brandon, are amazing. This is by far my favorite hotel I have ever stayed in. I love that this place is a smaller, historic hotel with a very homey feel .What makes this hotel so unique and special is the love and attention heather and Brandon put into this hotel and in taking care of their guests. They make themselves available practically 24/7 for you to make sure you are well taken care of.
I stayed in the island suite and absolutely LOVED it.. The suite has a full kitchen , spacious living room and two separate bedrooms. They even provide dishes silverware and pots!. The room was extremely clean upon arrival , even more so than any other hotel I’ve stayed in. There were nice personal welcoming touches , like a binder with lots of information to make the most out of your stay, a cute personal greeting card, etc.
This hotel is extremely close to popular trails, lakes, mountains, etc. it’s also quiet, peaceful , and cozy. From now on, this will be my number one spot to stay at when visiting concrete WA and/or the surrounding area.
If you are looking for a really good deal and a home away from home, you MUST stay here!

This is a fantastic place to call home for a night or two while traveling. The staff is amazing and very attentive to your needs. Everything was clean and fresh. They even had make up towels.

It seems that Heather and Darren are doing a pretty good job at managing this place and turning it around with better service. Rooms are spacious, ammenities are excellent, towels and toileteries awesome. The place is quiet and has a number of services nearby. Would use ir again if I had to. Keep up the good work!

I was just blown away by the host at this establishment. He was very curtious. He wanted to make sure I had everything I needed and walked me through everything I needed to know about the hotel and the town. The only downside to this place was the carpeting in my room. There were so e obvious stains. But it was very clean. Once they change the carpets out. This hotel will always be a 5star, I am sure. Parking was not the greatest either. But it does not take away from the stay. Huge rooms, great amenities in the washroom, huge comfy bed. For the price, I've never stayed anywhere better. Do not be deterred from the lower star ratings. The new management has made this quaint little hotel a masterpiece. I would highly recommend it. I hope they can upgrade the carpets in the future, and possibly the TVs. Always a gripe with me. It is 2023 !! Lol 😆. I know you will enjoy the rooms anyway.

A lot of the reviews here are from the prior owner from what I’ve discovered.

I recently had the pleasure of staying here and the husband and wife that work here proceeded exceptional customer service. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well taken care of! However, what stood out the most to me was the incredible work of the husband and wife who manage (or own?) the place.

Their hard work and attention to detail as they renovate is evident in every aspect of the hotel. The rooms were immaculate, comfortable, and with modern amenities considering where located.

The couple's dedication to making their hotel the best it could be was truly inspiring. They were always available to answer any questions I had, and their passion for hospitality was infectious.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area. The level of customer service and attention to detail is unmatched. It's clear that the owners have put their hearts and souls into creating a truly exceptional experience for their guests. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We booked two rooms as part of our family trip to the North Cascades. The couple that runs the motel are attentive. The kitchen was unexpected and allowed us to cook a hearty breakfast.

The rooms were comfortable and clean. Would recommend - check in and check out was fairly quick and easy.

As some of the other recent reviews have said - this hotel has come under new management. The new owners are very kind and respectful. This isn’t the fanciest place, but they’re working hard to renovate and rebuild the hotel. We would definitely stay here again!

I don’t know if management has changed because we definitely didn’t experience anything like the previous reviews. The gentleman that worked the front desk was at the location longer then their closing hours and he welcomed us in the office and checked us in. He was kind and made checking in easy. We stayed in “cozy cottage” which was a small room with a nice bathroom. We were shocked at how nice it was for a 2 star motel. The bed was made with multiple sheets and blankets, the bathroom was big and clean. The guy even left us a fan while we were out hiking. We came back to the fan and a note at our door saying sorry they didn’t have AC but hopefully the fan would help. We went on the first hot day of spring and the room didn’t even need the fan it was cool and comfortable. The whole process was easy and we stayed two nights. I’m happy with the stay but the town was definitely weird. A good area to stay if your hiking at the national park. Beautiful drive!

I reached late night but these guys were still up and quick to respond, very friendly, I couldn’t meet them in person but i could feel hospitality. Spacious room! Beautiful spot, went on a hike to chain trail by Mt baker.

We could not have asked for a better stay. The hotel rooms were better than advertised, EXTREMELY clean (especially bathrooms which are huge when spending the day hiking), and the service and hospitality was better than what you would expect at a 5 star resort in the middle of a big city.

I cannot stress this enough, the stay here was unbelievable and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Close location to north cascades, some great restaurants nearby, and an awesome bakery and ice cream shoppe for my fellow sweet tooths.

Stayed 2 nights in the cozy cottage. It’s an older place I think but not dilapidated and run by a nice married couple. I had no issues and would stay here again. The location is on the edge of the North Cascades and has 2 different type of places for food/drinks across the street. Lone star is open 7a-3p for good breakfast/lunch foods. Hub has food but I didn’t eat. Just great drink prices and good bar tender. Down the road is also 5 B’s bakery and that was amazingly delicious. Can’t beat the price and location for sure.

My friends and we got two rooms for three nights to visit the North Cascade NP. We would like to thank the manager Heather Davenport for making our stay so wonderful. She is so nice, helpful and professional. She really makes us feel like home. In addition, we like this hotel, the room is very cozy, clean, and artistic,

We definitely will come back again and introduce this hotel to my friends when they visit the North Cascade NP.

This hotel is very clean, with big rooms, and extremely reasonable prices. The owners are very helpful. I even got some local trail suggestions, and alternative suggestions for the North Cascades because of the fires. I highly recommend this place

Update, new manager 100% better!!

June 2021: Try to check in my brother-in-law and his two small children and was told the second child could not stay because it's a two-person room I asked the receptionist to explain it further as it's a three year old and four year old with their father they would share a bed she then spoke very slowly like I was dumb I asked her not to speak to me like a child then she called me a little bit** and the c word and told me she was calling the cops if I didn't leave the property then proceeded to charge my credit card still for the night I am disputing the charges and reaching out to the Better Business Bureau. The sad thing is I live in concrete and it's a beautiful place but people like Melinda give it a bad name

We had to book last minute 1 night stay and they happened to have a room available. Perhaps because of the previous reviews. However, I haver never based my stays fully on other people's experiences. As far as I could tell, people's opinions said this place was clean.. and that's the most important for a quick stay.

Well, talk about a nice little find in a small historic strip of Concrete, WA right off highway 20! Each room has its own cute theme. Cozy Cottage, Seascape, Seaside and a handful of others (I apologize for forgetting off hand what the names were.) We stayed in Seascape, it was spacious, had a nice sitting arrangement, large restroom, and the bedroom had its own door. I believe the couch had a hide-a-bed but we didn't need to use it. Yeah sure, the carpet had stains, but come on - doesn't yours? Everything was indeed clean despite the stains. The service was great too. Despite others' experiences, the front desk lady was kind, talkative and just wanted to do her job.

Being a kind human being to others goes a long way. Thank you for a charming place of rest and comfort. ♡

Place is going under new management, but is amazing!
The rooms are quite spacious and super comfy. Our room came with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and a couch.
There is one tv in the living room and another in our room. The beds are soft enough to have a good sleep after a day of hiking or just walking through town.
The price for staying is more than fair, the location is just perfect since is in the middle of a 3 way cross road. You can pick to either go left back to the city, right towards Diablo lake or down. There is a bar, restaurant, ice cream shop and a theater across the street.
I can't wait to go back and stay longer.

Great spot, comfortable bed (love the separate room vs living room!!) and all you need to discover the North cascades NP. Most importantly, incredible staff. We felt very well taken care of. So glad to see this place under management who cares about its rep! Highly recommend.

The couple now running the hotel are doing an excellent job of making sure guests are safe and comfortable. So close to north Cascade National Park! Highly recommend!!!

Full Disclosure: My friend and I decided to book a room here partly because of the proximity to North Cascades National Park and partly because we thought we were in for a treat, considering the reviews about the "mean front desk lady". (Frankly, I aspire to be a cranky lady who yells at tourists one day, too. I was prepared to take notes.)

My friend and I arrived just after the check-in time. We were greeted by Melinda, who checked us in, asked about our trip and home-town, and gave us some suggestions for making our stay a good one. She was super welcoming...it quickly became clear that she's not just the "front desk lady", but most likely the sole owner/proprietor of the hotel. Even much of the artwork in the room(s) appear to be handmade by her (so cute!) She's clearly protective of her slice of heaven in a small town, and rightly so!

The room itself was incredibly clean and spacious. It was set up more like an apartment (separate sitting/TV room with a small kitchen area, bedroom also had its own flatscreen TV and the softest blankets EVER, and the bathroom was HUGE!) She even included darker face-towels for guests to remove makeup and other products without damaging the other bath towels...keeping costs down to what what honestly a very reasonable rate for a large apartment-style room within a few dozen miles of a National Park. We felt lucky to stay here!

As long as you are courteous and remember that you are a guest in a special place, I have no doubt that you'll find Melinda and the other folks in Concrete, WA to be very hospitable and welcoming. I would visit again in a heartbeat!

Super clean and great location! Hotel is a bit dated but I'll take cleanliness over fancy any day. The new manager is super sweet and inviting. Would definitely stay here again!
