This lodge is in the perfect location to access Mt Rainier National Park from both the West and East entrances. The lodge is family owned and run, and the owners were very welcoming! The decorations are adorable and very fitting for the area. It is very quiet and peaceful. We will stay again the next time we are visiting Rainier.

I stayed a night here during a recent trip to Mt Rainier. Check in was easy and the manager was very friendly and helpful. Popcorn in the lobby was a nice bonus plus saw a herd of elk crossing the property! I had my dog with me and we stayed in a dog friendly room on the ground floor-the property has plenty of space to walk your dog. WiFi was fast, bed was comfy and the shower was hot. Would definitely stay again.

The property was good, although nothing special. The room was clean and tidy, with a soft & uncomfortable bed. I would be unlikely to return

If you are visiting Sunrise@MtRainer, there are very few lodging options within one hour drive. Cowlitz is an old roadside motel. With the right expectation, Cowlitz will suffice for a one night stay. I stayed in a room with two queen beds. Shower has good water pressure and it drains well. Plenty of towels. There is an extra sink outside of the bathroom. It looks like the bathroom may have been renewed in the last few years. Rest of the room is unremarkable. Wi-Fi is fast that I can stream Netflix. I was able to park right in front of my room. There is no food service.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
As previous reviews mentioned, staff was not friendly. The property needed some upkeep. Area around property poor town. The room was not clean: power in sink. The A/C made a noise while running. The sheets were polyester. The smell of cleaning supplies. Some of these things are personal preference. I was deeply disappointed in the 'wonderful" I was expecting.
