We drove up from our home in Anchorage and after reading some other reviews we were wary of this place initially, but it turned out just fine. It's definenently a hub for some of the tour/cruise groups. The price is higher then average but typical for places that only have a summer season.

The room was limited in that it didn't have a refrigerator or microwave- but the perponderance of food in the area made that not such a big deal. We traveled with a 10 month old baby and found plenty of places that catered to her.

The hotel restaurant was a little pricey, but their breakfast buffet was excellent. We hit up every restaurant in town while there and recommend you try some of the more "exotic" fare, as my wife called it (i.e. buffalo/reindeer). You can see everything you want in 2 nights here, hope you have a good trip!

Stayed while on Royal Carribean cruise, beautiful view, had shuttle down to shops down below. Coffee pot didn't work so they gave us free coffee at their coffee stand which also made great lattes, etc. Very friendly staff in the gift shop. DIdn't eat in the restaurant, went to bar thinking we'd get faster service, THAT didn't happen-bartender not organized at all.

Though you can't beat the location there's nothing "Grande" about the accomodations or service. This place is very, very basic and worn. Most staff were impersonal and one was surly/patronizing ... One night there was enough; we will not return.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful! We stayed there as part of a Royal Caribbean Cruisetour package. The view from the main lodge was gorgeous! The food was excellent, especially the fresh-baked bread.
