"Such a quaint property close to Mt rainier entrance. Fun little cafe shop inside as well for ice cream and breakfast / lunch items.
Friendly employees too!"
"Great room. I appreciated the roomy bathroom and grab bars. Parking was good. Hotel is in a good location for Stevens Canyon entrance of Mt Rainier NP. I also enjoyed walking in Gifford Pinchot National Forest."
"Staff were very kind and helpful, room was clean. No elevator nor offer of lifting heavy luggage to the second floor. No breakfast ... which they say has not happened in the past 4 years. Was very close to the park and bonus was seeing a group of 15-20 elk just down from the lodging."
"Highly recommend Alexander's Lodge! Great accommodations. Grounds are awesome! Staff is so friendly and helpful. Located a short distance from Mt Rainier National Park."
"We had a *wonderful* stay 💜. Every member of the team we interacted with was friendly and helpful, several gave us great suggestions for activities and poi to visit when they spoke with us and definitely helped make the family vacation memorable. The stairs to the upper floor were a little steep, however, we did not mention we had family with mobility challenges until after we'd arrived, so that one is on us. And once we did mention it, we were given great suggestion on trails and places to visit that accommodated people with mobility issues. 10/10 we will be back 💜"
"I had an overall pleasant stay at the Gateway Inn in Ashford, Washington. One of the biggest advantages of this property is its location—being right near the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park makes it incredibly convenient for anyone planning to explore the area. The surrounding scenery is beautiful and really adds to the experience. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.
There were a few drawbacks, however. The room we stayed in had a noticeable slant to the floor, which was a little unusual and took some getting used to. The internet service was also spotty at times, although the hotel does disclose this ahead of time, so it wasn't entirely unexpected given the location. Additionally, there were no TV channels available during our stay, which may be disappointing for guests looking to relax indoors after a day of exploring.
That said, if your main goal is to enjoy the natural beauty of Mount Rainier and stay close to the park entrance, Gateway Inn is a convenient option with friendly service and a great setting. Just be prepared for a few rustic quirks that come with staying in such a remote and scenic area."
"Cabin and outdoors were very clean. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. The only y negative was using the worn out cooking utensils. Buy some new pots and pans and measuring cups."
