Alyeska Resort

Alyeska Resort was a large ski resort and hotel with good sized rooms, a little old fashioned but clean and well presented. The grounds were well presneted and attrtactive as was the large entrance area. The hotel had a number of restaurants and the one visited [ a Bar) average at best in terms of food offering , quality and cost.Servicre was as expected.

I am sitting in the lobby right now trying to get some work done at 6:30 am, and I have to listen to disco music because they refuse to turn it off when nobody is even around. It infects all of the areas where you might otherwise want to sit and read a book or work, and I think it is sad that they are so stupid. This is otherwise a pretty good place to stay and I would give it a much better review if they were not so stupid!!!!

Comfortable room. Welcoming and helpful staff. Good restaurants and bar. Only complaint would be adjusting temperature in the room.

Alyeska Resort's marketing is far better than the resort itself. This is a mammoth facility that at least in the summer is great for corporate retreats - lots and lots of private meeting rooms - and large open spaces but the actual sleeping rooms are the size of sardine cans and the messaging of the owners is that they will squeeze until you say ouch. For example, there is a thermostat to control temperature, but it is controlled by a central location. No option to make room warmer or cooler. Lighting is minimal. Tiny tv. Not a really great place if you are not part of a large group.

After 27 years, I finally got to return to Alyeska and it was just as good as I remember. We enjoyed walking around the grounds and getting to explore Girdwood with the resort as our home base. We also took advantage of the tram and were rewarded with gorgeous views from the mountain top.
