Blanket Lake Tours

Room was remodeled and looked amazing

The mountain view was stunning, the hiking paths beautiful. We enjoyed our stay, especially the tram ride up to the restaurant and the pool and workout room 3rd floor. The cost was really high, so we did not eat dinner we had a drink then found our own food. The concierge was helpful, as was the front desk. We would not have been there for one night if it was not for expedia same-day booking with a discount that made it a bit less expensive. I would not pay full price to stay or eat at Alyeska, too $$$.

I understand, it is the end of summer, and rates are going to be high. However, for the price, it was not ideal ($6489.42 for 3 nights) - we had a 2 bedroom suite room -mountain view. The mountains are in the distance, way passed the subway and other fast food signs. Our room is on the corner next to the street, very close to an intersection. So, loud music from cars waiting at the lights and accelerating/peeling out cars go throughout the day past 11pm. We are right across the street from a grocery store, which is great. However, we ended up being approached by 2 homeless individuals. We did not feel like we were in danger, only because of my 250lb husband and his do not mess with my family stare. The front desk staff is not very friendly and abruptly interrupts any questions, or concerns you have with a can't do anything about it answer - we asked at 5pm, that if they were unable to clean our room, to please help with 4 large bath towels exchange only. She said FINE, 3 sets, we said, no, no need, only 4 bath towels since we have 5 people and are trying to reuse towels - she hang up on us and about 5 mins later, a nice older gentlemen came and delivered 5 sets of towels to us. The morning buffet is ok, the grill had an excellent chef (of Puerto Rican origin maybe), except when he is not doing the cooking, then, everything is either burnt or raw. Overall, I read through many hotel reviews before booking and believe most of the hotels are all in this same level.
