My fiance and I stayed in the Paradise Yurt for two nights recently. I stumbled upon Alexander's mainly because most others were fully booked and we made our reservation a week before and I'm feel like we got really lucky.
Prices were very good compared to Yurt glamping where we live. Our yurt was about 30-40 yards into the forest next to one other yurt but far enough away you can't see them and I didn't ever hear our neighbors either. It comes with a bed, chair, small bed tables, an electric blanket (which was quite clutch for my lady), electricity with several plugs and

Lovely, quaint, very close to the National Park, rustic yet clean - great staff, superb grounds, fun and perfect if you have a pet and are lucky enough to reserve a pet friendly room.
We had room 16 - sooooo cool and fun. Came with a private patio on the pond.
They bring your breakfast in a picnic basket to your door- there's a common room in the lodge, and a cute pond in the back with a small waterfall
Bed was comfortable too
I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised and would return again

Just stayed here for a quick trip ( mount raineer half marathon). Room #10 was great, hotel is over 100 years old and has a ton of character. Very clean, breakfast included and best of all - the staff was great! Would definitely recommend staying here if visiting Mount Raineer National Park. Located very close to the south entrance.

There aren't many options to choose from if you want to stay a night at Mt Rainier, but I'd rather find somewhere farther than staying here if I could choose again.
First impression was that the room was smelly. The beddings were not felt clean. Most ridiculously, there isn't a vent, a window, or any kind of air outlets in the bathroom. The only way the odor could go would be into the room itself. The AC was incredibly noisy even at low fan speed. We didn't have to use the heater, but if you do, a small heater is located at a corner of the room so the heating would be very

The chalet is great but the beds upstairs. The caretaker just came over and gave us a room with a new bed. I cannot believe how awesome and kind Jim is. (Hope I got his name correct. ) Thank you so much. The house was super clean and everything is amazing. Don't let the oldnest of the place scare you. It is really an awesome place. We rented the chalet and one of the rooms by the pond for a socially distant family getaway. Thank you again for the amazing response. Never had any place be so kind and responsive.

We spent two nights at Alexander Lodge and had the best experience! The breakfasts were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms and breakfast room were sparkling clean and everything was extremely well organized. The hosts were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We had the loveliest experience, thank you so much!

I absolutely loved my trip to Alexander's lodge! Great location for a day or two of exploring 'The Park' and close to the Wild Berry Restaurant to fuel up or enjoy a drink on the patio. The hotel itself has so much history and an 'old world' feeling from it, a refreshing experience from the boring modern chains - staying here is an experience! It was so quiet and peaceful. The parlor area is great for families to enjoy or grab a movie to watch in the room. The pond and waterfall also adds to the quaint and charming experience. Stay in room 12 for a cute little private

I am not sure why the reviews for this Lodge is rated 4 stars. Like most travelers I relied on reviews to help me decide.
This is my experience:
The pro-
Definitely closest to the Southwest/Nisqually entrance via SR 706 to Longmire and Paradise areas of Mt. Rainier National Park.
The cons-
Upon entering the lobby it was not air conditioned and smelled heavy with pine sol cleaning solution. As you walk up the stairs to the room, it smells moldy.
The room is small
The AC inside the room poorly position, no option for air flow or level of adjustment . My children were cold during the night

Wonderful experience. Last minute hiking trip for my daughters birthday. We arrived late and they accommodated us. Our late arrival made it difficult to plan for our breakfast and again they accommodated us.
Rooms are beautifully individually decorated and incredibly comfortable. Lovely common and outdoors we look forward to enjoying on our next visit.
Our family travels a lot through the summer months we usually choosing to stay in a chain hotel. Alexander's Lodge has converted me. I will now choose the hotels with character. Not sure I could go back the stagnate box boring rooms of the chain

The usual warm and friendly welcome set us up for a lovely relaxing stay. Nothing was too much trouble and the cleanliness was excellent. Breakfast and service were perfect each morning and we never felt rushed. The location is perfect, quiet and relaxing.

It was a unique experience in an older building with modern touches in the room like the Google speaker, USB ports charging station, and TV. The bed was extremely comfy and the room clean. A little small, but we weren't there for very long anyways. Great location next to Mount Rainier and Elbe, complimentary wine was really nice in the evening, and the breakfast area was nicely laid out and clean. Would come here again!

We had the best weekend a Mom and Daughter can have. The staff here at Alexander's Lodge is very friendly. We enjoyed the character of the lodge, and the display of the history of the building. The conforting feeling made us feel at home. The surrounding grounds where beautiful with the pond and waterfall. Enjoyed the evening glass of wine before turning in. They even take a step above by providing us with a breakfast to start the day. I highly recommend Alexander's Lodge to all my friends.

OMG! Fair warning! I paid $179 for 1 night in a room (#1) that was literally the smallest room I've ever stayed in my 63 years, and worth under $50/night. It was less than 9' wide and maybe 12' long (but there was a chair, A/C unit and a table for the tv to sit on that took much of the room beyond the 5 or so feet beyond the bed). You couldn't hardly open the door into the Armoire all the way which was next to the bed to hang your clothes and there was about 15-18" between each sides of the bed and the walls so you had to squeeze sideways to get into bed. The A/C unit

My husband and I decided to get married here and it was a great decision.
The service was great - from the friendly front desk associates to the housekeepers - we always felt taken care of. We stayed in the Upper Tower Suite which is a super cool room. You do have to climb a steep set of stairs to get to the bed upstairs but it is worth it. The property is an old, Victorian boarding house so obviously this is not like staying at the Westin, but if you love old charm, you will love this place.

The attentive staff here warrants a 5 star review in itself but let me start from the beginning. Last night 4/19 my family and I attempted to reserve a cabin at Three Bears Lodge 2 miles up the road from Alexander's Lodge however the next morning 4/20 (our reservation was for 4pm) after 18 unanswered phone calls and 3 messages and 1 email I never got our reservation confirmed by Three Bears. Upon looking for another place to stay for one night before we hiked the mountain on friday 4/21 I came across this little gem with great reviews on the trusty Yelp platform.

I've been visiting these parts for the past 10 years and have come into Alexander's Inn now Alexander's Lodge usually for dinners and the gift shop. However, I thought I would stay for the first time this past weekend.
I thought this place had changed ownership given the change in name. Upon arrival, I noticed a stand outside offering people the choice to "Express Check-in and Check-out" which I thought cheapened the place. My impression of Alexander's Inn over the years was an upscale country inn with a personal touch and a warm welcome.

Can't be in a better location to Mt. Rainier unless you stayed in the park itself! Alexander's Lodge is just a short 5 minute drive from the park entrance.
We stayed in the Tower Suite and it was a two-floor Victorian style room. The bathroom and living area was downstairs while the bedroom was upstairs. The bed was surprisingly comfy. The ladder was a bit steep, so watch your step. Some features and decor at the lodge felt dated, but it is a 100 year old lodge. The cleaning folks were nice but not super thorough.
The hot tub facing the trout pond deserves an A+! It was a great way

We had a very pleasant stay in our cozy suite. The room had very nice views from all windows. The living area was comfortable, with a nice porch overlooking the meadow. The bedroom was really nice, and the bed was comfy. The jacuzzi was relaxing and the view from the jacuzzi was picturesque! We woke up to snow the last day, and just could not have been more pleased.

We had a positive experience and wouldn't hesitate to return. We stayed in the budget queen room, and our bathroom was across the hall. The room itself was small, but we were there to see the park, so it didn't matter. They even had a card and chocolate bar to wish me a happy birthday, which was really nice and unexpected. The room was about $140 and nicer than a lot of other places that were booked over the holiday weekend.

Stayed 4th July weekend due to a wedding in the area.
Chose this Inn based on a meal we had there last October (which was super!),
The room (no.4) was large,old but had modern features in the bath etc. Very "New England-y" . Super clean throughout the Inn. The bed and sitting area were comfortable. The common area down the stairs had coffee, TV and lots of family board games.
They recently put in room a/c which was a life saver in 90+ degree temps.
The breakie had 3 or 4 menu choices plus a couple specials. More than a most B&B's. It was all fresh, not off a steam table
