We stayed at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge for one night on a land tour prior to an Alaska Cruise. The day we were there it was raining so the weather wasn't the best. However, we ventured into town on the shuttle and had a quick look around Talkeetna...small and quaint. The enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The room was... more

We stayed at this lodge a little over a year ago, about Sept. 7th. Can’t recall exactly what we paid but believe it was just a little over a hundred for one night. Albeit, that was an off season rate, at the tail end of a poor tourist season to boot. The room had a decent view, and was quiet;... more

If you are in Anchorage and have a few days to sight see. Take a drive to Talkeetna and stay at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge. It was worth the drive and the money. We had a beautiful 2 days and a stunning view of Mt. McKinley from our large picture window. We went on a plane ride tour of the... more

Situated around 1.5 miles from the very quaint and sweet, downtown, this lodge was very pleasant. The lobby is large and impressive, in a Rustic Convention Center sort of way. We ate in our room both nights as they was a wedding and a cruise ship in the hotel although we had to plead for this as the hotel does... more

Thank you for your review. We do quite often host weddings and special events but are equally grateful for our independent travelers. Unfortunately, our facility is currently unable to accommodate room service, however both of our restaurants are able to package meals to go. Thank you again for staying at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge.

Just OK

The price was rather high ($400+/nght) and the room was not spectacular, rather average, the view was great but not worth the price. The walks around the property took us about a 1/2 hour, not the hikes they were advertised to be and you would not walk to town as the website also stated, but they had a shuttle. The... more

Thank you for staying at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge. Please check our rates in May and September as our rates do change during the slower season. Also our website is a great place to save. We are located 1.5 miles from the town of Talkeetna and there is a nice walking path into town. We do have walking trails on...

Stayed while on a land/cruise tour with Royal Carribean. Nice rooms but NO air, did have ceiling fan with fan above TV which definitely helped but rained when we were there & so couldn't keep window open. Pretty comfortable beds. Shuttle service is provided to the town of Talkeetna BUT they only run until 8pm. You can get a shuttle... more

Thank you for your review. We were very fortunate this summer to have warmer than usual temperatures. However, as you discovered this did create some challenges with our room temperatures. Air conditioning is not something typically needed in Alaska, due our cooler weather. We’re glad you found the fans helpful. Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge has two restaurants to accommodate our guests....

We paid close to $400/night for a room with a mountain view. Of course, the mountain was not out during our 1 night stay (we luckily saw it while in Denali Natl Park). The room had no AC! The lobby, restaurants, and all other public areas did. This is unacceptable for the caliber of hotel and the price we paid.... more

We were fortunate this summer to have many warm, sunny days, however, this brought along some challenges in keeping our rooms cool as air conditioning is not commonly found in Alaska. We appreciate your comments and value the feedback we receive from our guests. Thank you for staying at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge.

This hotel managed to ruin several days of our Alaska vacation. We booked a Suite in October of 2008 for 2 nights at a cost of over $1,000.00 and paid in full at that time. Every hotel we have ever stayed in guarantees your room when you pay in advance. Not the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge. They are happy to take... more

We are very sorry about this situation and regret that it had such a profound impact on your vacation. The night prior to your arrival, we did move guests into the suite you reserved with the understanding they would change rooms the next day. The following day, when those guests informed us they would not move, we were left with...
