What guests say
8.1 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 322 guest reviews
Alexander's Lodge wins consistent praise for its unbeatable position at the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park and its charming, vintage character — including quirky options like a forest yurt and an octagon-shaped room. However, guests frequently flag let-downs around breakfast (ranging from missing to substandard grab-and-go offerings), steep stairs with no elevator, and a price point some feel outstrips the quality, with occasional maintenance issues adding to the frustration. Overall sentiment is warmly positive, but prospective guests should set realistic expectations around facilities and meals.
