This hotel had many of the luxuries other places we stayed in Alaska did not have … having said this, it was a bit soulless, more like a slightly up market UK Premier Inn. It was my 40th birthday and the bar was shut by 9 everyone was in bed. We were the last people in the common area and felt like we should leave … I was in bed by 10, very odd

This property was average, was not special. It did not present views better than you get at the National Park Visitors Center. It was a warm night the time I stayed, the ac didn't work, so opened window and used the room's box fan and ceiling fan. Staff couldn't get the printer to work. Stood by for 20 minutes until a manager arrived, apologized for my wait, and gave me my key. Restaurant foods were just okay.

Nice hotel and grounds, disappointing food

Our stay was nice as far as facilities and grounds are concerned. The food was really disappointing. One of us had the salmon dinner and the rice side was over cooked and tasteless while the salmon portion was quite small for the price charged. One of us had the cheese burger dinner which should have been easy to do. However, the bread was dry and they only put a small spot of dressing on the bread.

Knowing now that this property is owned by Princess cruises, and caters to cruise passengers first, I would never stay here again. I requested a king bed, but they would not accommodate me even though I made our reservation months ago. The one shining star was the little gal working the gift shop. She was very sweet!

Didn’t get to stay. Reservations were made in April 2024 for two night. A week before the reservation they canceled it. A few days before the second night was canceled for a bus tour, hope the people enjoyed our room!!!!

Absolutely beautiful location. However, when we checked in we were offered zero information on amenities, activities, or dining. We wandered around the place and ate at the bar. Our server, a younger dark haired tall gentleman (with some tattoos), was just perfect. We witnessed the other server high pressure selling everything he could from more drinks to dessert and felt like that was annoying just to be in earshot of it. He was loud. But we loved our server and I think he should be in management. All in all except for our server I felt like with the other staff that we didn’t exist. The hotel is located in a pretty spot. Watch out for the frost heave driving up! Also that hill must be fun in the winter. We also ran into quite a lot of hungry mosquitoes on the little nature trail, so be prepared for that.

Great location with amazing views and facilities. Limited dining choices and the restaurant was understaffed - they warned us before ordering that it could take up to an hour to get our food.
