    Great place and setting! Dining in shoulder season limited.
    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Even though it was shoulder season, it would have been nice if we had more choices for dining at the resort. With Sitzmark and Boretide both closed it would have been nice if the Seven Glaciers was open. We ate at Forte the first night and the meal was ok. The only other choice was asian sushi, which was not to our taste, so we settled for a pizza in the Forte the second night. I looked up the tram hours and decided to ride up after diiner since it was open until 8 pm. Alas, I ended dinner early to get there only to find it had closed early. If they had advertised an earlier closure I would planned differently. Perhaps close at 5 pm during shoulder season.

    The staff and facillities were great! The setting was beautiful. The grounds and landscaping lovely. Loved having Tram onsite with terrific views! The building is beautufully decorated and the room large and comfortable.

    We had dinner at 7 glaciers on the mountain and to be honest it wasn't all that great for the $125 a person. I would just suggest going up and having drinks at the bar. The room was nice but the beds are very well worn. I had the worst 2 nights of sleep because of the bed.

    We loved the Nordic Spa here at the resort. We did the 60 minute massage before the spa and was well worth every penny!

    Incredible location with quality resort services, only marred by outdated and dingey rooms
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe King Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The rooms were extremely outdated and dingey. It was like staying in a Super 8. You didn't receive glasses in the rooms--only paper cups. The accommodations were fine, but they were absolutely not "luxury," and I consider any reference to "luxury" to be false advertising. I also heard of other guests receiving free upgrades, which of course is disappointing if you're stuck in the ugly and old Super 8 rooms. Parking is also quite difficult and far--I think valet should be cheaper to accommodate this significant shortcoming.

    The resort didn't offer late checkout, but they were accommodating in storing the bags. Also the pool attendants were quite nice. The shops were also quite nice, well-curated, and reasonably priced given the location. Common spaces were inviting and well-maintained, with lots of comfortable spots to sit and enjoy the fire in a proper lodge atmosphere. The resort food was fine for the price.

    Best resort in Alaska and the ski in/out location cannot be beat.

    Rates varied by the night but were pushing 800.00 which is high. Nothing else really stands out as a negative.

    This has to be the best full service resort in Alaska. Rooms appear to have been updated, hotel is very clean and well run. Food and drinks were reasonable and ski in /out location is great. Would stay here again.

    The price of the rooms did not seem worth it. The rooms had a spoiled smell to it. The bed was hard and there was no microwave. And the view was the back of building. It should have been discounted. Not sure if I will go back.

    The restaurant was expensive but excellent!

    We booked two queen beds, but they were definitely full size beds. For the price we paid here, I would have loved to have the bigger beds we paid for. Free breakfast also would have been great :)

    The location and scenery was beautiful. The valet workers were so accommodating and gave us a personal ride down to the ski resort. The spa here was amazing and so clean.

    Alyeska is a centralized location between Anchorage and Seward

    You definitely need your own transportation as shuttle services to and from Anchorage are very expensive and the resort isn’t near enough to town to make it walkable. The staff isn’t very personable and your basically on your own to find your way around the property and see what services are available on site, meal options, etc

    Alyeska is in a great location being less than an hour from Anchorage and two hours from Seward. There is self parking available which is a good savings.

    The rooms didn't have air conditioning. It got pretty hot in the summer at night. Opening the windows helped with ventilation significantly . Something to be mindful about since I didn't notice this before booking.

    Great location and the facilities also very good.

    Many staff members were not helpful at all and in fact the bartender was quite rude to almost everyone at the bar the night we were there. We are used to getting great service as we are always very nice and positive. The exception was that the bellmen were very helpful.

    Gorgeous setting and we loved the hydro spa.
