We stayed at this lodge for 2 days. The view was spectacular and the room was comfortable, not extraordinary. However, there were several problems with the shuttle service and reservations for tours. The food was average and high-priced. We were there in late May and most of the staff were new at their jobs with the lodge having only opened... More

The view from the lobby is stunning. We arrived the day the hotel opened under new management. The staff couldn't have been nicer. One of our rooms was great, the other probably the worst room in the hotel. Looked and felt like a cold basement. I was able to change my room. The hotel is located up a hill and... More

Shuttle will take you down hill to catch the tour bus. Didn't eat here so no review about the food. It was quiet and private. Got a good nights sleep. Used the coupon in Tour Saver Book, so we stayed 2 nights for the price of one. Their prices are about the same as other places around the park.

Ok first the good stuff.... Tremendous view if you are willing to pay extra for it. You twist up a winding mountain road to this beautiful resort perched on a cliff. We were checked in quickly and the front desk service was efficient and friendly. The resort is close to all of the tours. Now, not so good: restaurant service... More

We stayed here 1 night with 3 other family friend couples. Booked rooms with out view because of price, but didn't expect that much of difference with out a view. Some what felt deceived. The location of the lodge is beautiful with grand views from lobby and outside. But for rooms with no views, we end up facing the parking... More

This is an ok hotel, the room are not great but they're ok. The staff at reception is nice. The restaurant has nice food. Lovely view from the restaurant windows. I would just say that this hotel is way too expensive for what it is.

Stuff I loved: the location, views from the lobby, proximity to the park and Healy's main (only) drag, the cafe where I could get a latte. The rooms were noting special at all--felt like a budget hotel but we were paying more than budget prices. The restaurant--beautiful, but the variety was very limited and my friend had food allergies. The... More

The lodge is located overlooking a scenic area. The room was clean with lots of space. The restaurant had good food and great views. Overall I think this place was fantastic. It's a lodge not a five star hotel. It reflects Alaska - the rustic, natural beauty. You won't regret the stay!
