9.4/10 Exceptional! (106 reviews)

Pristine room and bathroom! Staff was so friendly which was much appreciated after a 7 hour drive. We really enjoyed the new and nicely rennovated rooms and felt the beds/pillows were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to our family and friends!

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,009 reviews)

We were somewhat disappointed. We had a really nice, spacious, and comfortable room but felt the whole experience was overpriced. It was raining when we arrived. We had our luggage taken to our room and I was informed about parking. The lot near the hotel is very small and can handle only a small portion of guests. The other parking areas, quite large, are a good walk from the hotel, especially in the rain. We had dinner at Seven Glaciers, and our server was exceptional. Sadly, the food was mediocre. The main entree was Halibut and Filet Mignon. The Halibut was a little dry, chewy, and not flaky. The Filet Mignon was the thinnest we've ever had, about a half-inch thick. Our overall stay was excellent but definitely overpriced, especially dinner.

We visited Anchorage and Denali returning for one last night in Anchorage. Such a neat hotel to stay in right before leaving Alaska.Bea
