Alyeska Resort

The location of the hotel is stunning. Surrounded by the ski resort and great hiking trails. The hotel itself is dated, dirty and the staff are not well trained. No one seems to know where anything is or what time it will be open. The carpets in the rooms are filthy. You need to make an appointment to use the swimming pool but the link to do so doesn’t work. People at the front desk didn’t care. We are in two different restaurants, both were mediocre at best. 3 stars are for the location and the grounds. For the price, this was so disappointing.

Nice hotel with mountain view, friendly staff, plenty of “extras” but unfortunately you have to pay for them. There are some nice walking/hiking trails around if you are into that. Our room was nice but nothing special. The best part about staying here for us was the aBar Restaurant. Friendly and attentive staff there. We had only drinks one night and food and drinks two other nights and were never disappointed with anything. Even guests have to pay to use the tram (although discounted by a small amount). We did use the tram one afternoon and if it had been a clear day it may have been worth the money. There is a nice bar area and indoor and outdoor seating at the top, along with a gift shop and small museum. This hotel may be better suited for a winter stay but we felt it was overpriced for a summer stay.

$700 per night for a 2nd story room facing the parking lot. No bar to get a beer at 2pm in the afternoon. Dated room. Sink doesn't drain. No housekeeping. Valet parking $27 per day. No bar for a beer or cocktail at 11pm. No food/snacks anywhere on the resort after 10pm. Have to reserve a spot in the pool for a 1 hour window ahead of time. Just felt like getting ripped off because of location with no substance behind the view. Won't be back, unfortunately.

We visited in early July on our way to Anchorage. There was no more snow (as expected), but had the opportunity to walk around, go up the tram, see the views, slopes and experience the food. The place looks very nice and we would like to return during winter.

We stayed here as part of a tour and were very pleased with our experience. The grounds are well groomed and impressive. The facilities are quite varied and complete. The room was flawless and the bed extremely comfortable, perhaps the best we ever slept on. A bonus was when the sun broke through in the morning the view out our window was inspirational. We ate in Forte and the food was pricey but delicious. We had tickets for the aerial tramway and found the view atop the mountain was excellent. If you find the price acceptable I can recommend that you stay here.
