LOGE Alta Crystal, WA

This is a mountain oasis. They allow dogs free of charge. Our room was a great size for a family of four, plus one puppy. The kitchen was ideal. My kids didn’t want to leave the pool. Also, the hot chocolate bar was a hit for all of us. Charlie was fantastic, so knowledgeable and kind.

Nice location, hot tub was great, small kitchen. Little mobile reception so the wifi was much appreciated.

Our family stayed here for a family wedding. We really enjoyed the location and the loft room, since we are a family of 5. Note there is limited snacks and no dining here. There is a sister-restaurant where breakfast is served, but it is about 10 min away and options are very limited. Take lots of snacks and food if you have kiddos. There is a kitchen in the room. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We plan to go back.

We stayed from 29Jun to 02jul 2024. We had a 6 person suite and the complete experience, facilities and staff were the best we ever had. The location and solitude were excellent if visiting national park. I would visit again!

Setting was peaceful and beautiful with tall trees. Room condition needs some improvement, but quiet surroundings amid tall fir trees exceed our expectations. We enjoyed peaceful 3days stay. Staff were very helpful.

Excellent service and easy access to downtown.

Nice room, nice location, we enjoyed lying on the outdoor hammocks while chatting and started gazing with friends

Charlie at the front desk was super friendly and kind. We loved free s’mores at the fire pit. There was no ac which is typical of the area but it was a little too warm end of July for us. Fans were provided but if sleeping in loft where hot air rises it was a little hot. Mattress not super comfy. Overall we were pleased with our stay and for Sunrise area location couldn’t be beat. Would stay again if visiting area.

Very cozy and close proximity to Mount Rainier’s Sunrise entrance. We left after 6:30am and arrived at Sunrise entrance just before 7am so we did not have to use our timed entry pass. We then cancelled our timed entry pass near the ranger station which had WiFi which allowed another visitor an opportunity to enter the park. Next time we come we’ll definitely use the outdoor grills and use the complimentary fire wood. Also our room had a fireplace which came in use on one of our chilly evenings. Our room had direct TV and no problems. Don’t forget to ask for free ice. Our receptionist was super friendly and very welcoming.

What a delightful place to stay for exploring Mt Rainier! Only about 40 min to Sunrise Corridor entrance and about 1 hr from Paradise Corridor entrance. Perfect for families with agile kids that want to sleep in the 2 beds in the loft (up a ladder). A second bathroom is up there too. Queen on main level is comfy with full bath and shower across the hall. The couch is comfy if you need room for another person or just to spread out a bit more. Would have liked a few extra blankets and pillows. Hot water is hot! Small fridge and microwave are handy but the fridge makes a droning buzz all night. Furnishings are all perfectly adequate and clean, but dated and weathered some use. It’s economical, not luxury, and the price is very reasonable. No washer and dryer amenities though, major drag. There a nice pool and a hot tub that were great for afternoons and early evening. S’mores are set out to make at has-powered tables, very thoughtful! There’s also a small but helpful shop with a few grocery essentials to get you by short term (you need to bring in food for real cooked meals). They have DVDs to borrow as well. Really liked it here. Very friendly and helpful staff that run the shop and check in area from 8am-8pm. Would stay again.

First the staff was amazing and nice. The property was great. My only thing is that there are no dining options. The ski resort has restaurants but the one at the bottom of the mountain was closed so you had to go to the top to eat and the food was ok.. there is a small place about 15 minutes north and that's it. So make sure you bring food to cook our room had a refrigerator stove oven and microwave but there are no grocery stores close maybe 1.5 hours away.

Perfect lodge near Mt Rainier

Everything was wonderful except there is no air conditioning. There are a few box fans and we slept with the windows open. There is no washer and dryer on site as well. Manager says they are working to get one on site which would be perfect for those hiking all day and have smelly clothes.

Rooms were a bit outdated but clean and has plenty of area to spread out. Staff was amazing!! I can’t say enough about the girl that was at the office/gift shop area literally the sweetest most welcoming person I’ve ever met at a motel/lodge. Hotel Highlights: Romantic, Quiet

Absolutely phenomenal place. Great people, excellent atmosphere. Highly recommend if visiting Mt. Rainier.

In the woods, close to the mountains, and yet with all comforts. How can you beat that?

Good: good location, very nice suite with a fireplace, friendly staff Bad: a little overpriced, kitchen needs a serious update, our room was located on the first floor therefore there was no view :-(

Good location, Customer service, Close to Mt Rainier Gondola and Sunrise point. Small hikes close by.

The LOGE hotel is absolutely adorable. I believe our summer trip fell during their off season (it seems to be more of a winter resort), but that didn’t take away from its charm. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 6 with 2 restrooms & enough beds for everyone. The surroundings were amazing with a cute lawn game set up & space to explore. The staff was super friendly and helpful!

Wonderful 3 night stay in the woods near Mount Rainier. It was quiet, quaint, and the front desk was WONDERFUL. A little tight for space, and the property may seem dated, but we had a wonderful time. 2 adults, 2 kids and a big dog were comfy the whole time, and the staff really loved having a pup on the property. They were great and we will totally be staying here again.

This place beat my expectations! One less star on the facilities because they do not actually have a sauna up and running. It's on the map they sent me but we were informed it isn't installed yet. I'll come back to write more about how great everything was when I'm back home. Charlie at the guest service area was so helpful. Mt Rainier National Park is just a ways down the road. Absolutely breathtaking and stunning experience.

I'd give this a 4.5 out of 5 green dots, but since that's not an option, I rounded up to five. Beautiful surroundings, well-kept grounds, nice buildings. A pleasant place to spend time. We didn't use any of the extra ammenities as we were busy recreating at Mt Rainier, but there were plenty to enjoy. I'd try LOGE again.

We live in the biggest town near here so when I looked up hotels that have pools, the Loge Alta Crystal looked intriguing. It had everything we needed so we packed our bags, grabbed a pizza & wings (knowing there are no dining options up that way) and headed up the mountain. Just prior to our arrival we received a text with our room # and door code. Virtual check in is always preferred. Upon arrival, we unloaded our truck to a well appointed and clean room. I was surprised that it had a true kitchenette with all the necessities. The couch was stained but it wasn't off putting - I'm sure it's seen a lot of use. It pulled out to a full size bed which my teenager slept well on. The bedroom had a queen that I had to share with my 11 year old but it was comfortable and the whole place had just what we needed for bedding and toiletries. The boys wanted to go swimming so we all got dressed and headed to the heated pool. It is older and again stained but clean and well maintained. I could tell that they do a good job with keeping the chemical right (I formerly had to maintain a small apartment pool & tub). While the boys swam, I decided to take the dogs for a walk around. Nice grassy field with poo bags & can for waste. We then just started walking further up the hill past the cabins where I discovered a sign "Trail" so I followed it. It led me to a beautiful waterfall. Had I brought the right shoes, I probably could have kept exploring. Returned to the boys and we wrapped up the night watching a DVD (found in the office after launching an inquiry as to why the Direct TV wasn't working - hello satellite! Lol) Slept through the peaceful night and checked out early around 9am (11am is check out time). I plan to stay again...this time with appropriate footwear. Rooms: Clean and simple Safety: Safe and quiet for mom alone with 2 kids Noteworthy details: Serenely beautiful natural area Hotel Highlights: Quiet

Excellent hotel to enjoy a few days of rest. Everything clean, excellent service, spacious and familiar. I would have liked to stay longer!!!

The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful surroundings. Enjoyed the s’mores by the pool and the hot tub. You can hike right from the property to beautiful areas. We liked that they welcome your pet with a pet treat bag.

Great cabin feel. Good location to trails and down from Crystal Mtn (we went in off season so most areas were not open yet but location was great).comfortably slept 4 of us (2 kids, each had their own bed/space).

Great place to stay for easy access to Crystal Mountain or summer hiking and adventure. We loved the welcome kit for our dog (food bowls, towel, treats, tennis ball, etc), the heated pool, smores by the pool, and beautiful hiking trail into the national forest right outside our door. The room was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The little store on site is great and has snacks, drinks and free coffee and hot cocoa bar.

The check in was very easy and smooth. The texting to request for shuttles and service was very convenient. Clean rooms, pool, hot tub and amenities. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great location, close to Crystal Mountain Resort and nestled amongst the forest

Great clean place with space, amenities, friendly staff and convenient location to Crystal Mt. We had a big group of friends and families for CMAC racing weekend. The lofts were spacious and kitchens sufficient for making group meals. Know that the appliances are all mini including the fridges:) I suggest augmenting with coolers. Ice is provided by the office. Slam dunk place to stay. Highly recommend!

Pool & hot tub are a plus Close to the ski hill…….., Complimentary Shuttle service…, Good place for a ski vacation…., Fun for groups, family, and solo style vacations and/or quick retreat. Enumclaw (the big city) is only just down the road, as well :-)

The lodge offers a cabin type feel even though most of the rooms are set up as condos/townhouse shared walls. Trails are easily accessible from the property. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. This is a great place to escape during the week. Beds are comfortable. Hot tub is hot and inviting and it is beautiful to look up to the sky through the trees while the jets massage your back. The area is dog friendly. If you come, please clean up after yourself. We did see some guests leave waste on the trails and un-bagged in unlined waste bins. This is a place that deserves respect. My dog was more than happy here and I hope that with good behavior of other guests, he will continue to be received here with open arms. There are Roosevelt Elk and deer that frequent the property. There may be some bears and wild cats. Birds are beautiful. There is much to see and do.

This was our second stay at Alta Crystal. First trip was in a queen room and this time I brought the whole family, canine included, and we stayed in the Tahoma cabin. The kids are in the weekend lesson program, and this accommodation is awesome to avoid all the early mornings and extra awesome with the shuttle that takes you door to door. Compared to an unnamed more convenient location, this is far superior in terms of value given the size of rooms, bed comfort, ability to cook your own meals, pool and hot tub and dog friendliness (if that's your thing). Unfortunately this go round the pool heater was broken (massive bummer for my kids and us, quite frankly) and a few things in the cabin need attention too (numerous light bulbs out, broken table, remotes not working). The staff are all lovely and very friendly, responsive to requests for help, and the kids love the after dinner (free) smores and hot chocolate. Definitely a happy find this year.

We stayed on the mountain last year, and accommodations are sorely lacking. This year we decided to stay at LOGE Alta Crystal and loved it. Would stay there again anytime. Great location, great staff, we were allowed to keep our car in their lot while we skied that day and were able to take a hotel shuttle to and from the mountain. Outstanding service!
