"We spent two nights at Alta Crystal Resort while visiting Mount Rainier and really enjoyed our stay. It’s just over 2 miles from the park entrance and tucked into a beautiful, tree-covered setting.
The pool area is such a nice place to relax after hiking. We saw people lounging poolside with books and others enjoying the hot tub, but my favorite was the cedar barrel sauna. HEAVENLY! It heated up to around 170° pretty quickly and felt absolutely amazing after a long day of hiking.
We stayed in a Queen Loft, which had a full kitchen, dining and living area, smart TV, and a wood stove. They even provided firewood and fire starter. The balcony was especially nice in the morning. The bedroom itself was small but comfortable, the shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water, and they provided plenty of regular and pool towels. Even the toiletries smelled great and were made with natural ingredients.
The little store onsite was convenient for snacks and small necessities—we actually needed a razor, so that was appreciated! There’s also a water bottle filling station, which was perfect before heading out for the day, and plenty of parking.
Overall, a cozy and convenient place to stay when exploring Mount Rainier, and that sauna alone was worth it!"
