“Shafted by Growley Bear”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2008
4
people found this review helpful

We called Growley Bear and made a reservation which was confirmed at the time of the call. We then called back the next day just to double check because we knew that most places in Gustavus had booked up. The reservation person, Julie, called back and confirmed again that we had the reservation for the dates we asked for. A week later they emailed us telling us that they had no availability for those dates. When I called to ask what had happened I was told that they had made our reservation for the wrong month and that now we had nothing. Julie was full of excuses, offered no alternatives and rudely stated, "There's nothing I can do." Due to their lack of professionalism and rudeness I would not recommend doing business with this company.

  • Disliked — rudeness and lack of professionalism
  • Stayed July 2008, travelled as a couple

“Hidden Gem in Gustavus/ Glacier Bay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2005
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed two nights at the Growley Bear during an August 2005 visit to Gustavus Alaska. The Growley Bear, which feels more like a lodge than a bed and breakfast, was roomy and comfortable. Gustavus is a rather remote destination, so higher prices were expected, but the Growley Bear was a good value, running about $150 per night for three (including breakfast). It was recently updated and the room was spotless. We also enjoyed the large hot-cooked breakfasts, which included fresh homemade pastries and fresh fruit (which is difficult to find in Alaska- apart from blueberries). The Growley Bear appears to have been overlooked by guidebooks, but it is a hidden gem.
