I purchased a groupon for a "special deal" for $99 sounds like a great deal ! Only one restaurant open out of three, excavators working across from the outdoor seating area so nothing but noise throughout the day. The tram was still being maintained and so unable to go up to the mountain top. On thing I do not like... More

The Alyeska was nice but a bit disappointing. Only one restaurant was open so I didn't get to take advantage of any of those nicer restaurants others posted about. Also the rooms were average at best. The view was nice.

We stayed on the 8th floor. The room was awesome. The only disappointment was bathroom. The water never got hot and the door was hard to open. Everything was beautiful there. There wasn't much noise on the 8th floor being the top floor. Very spacious room. There were 5 of us and we all had plenty of room to stretch... More

I have been reading about this place for years and finally had a chance to stay on a recent business trip to AK. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I booked the place due to an email special and the price was great. It was in between "seasons" meaning the ski crowd had departed and the summer visitors... More

This is an expensive hotel -- but you get what you pay for. The rooms were comfortable with nice amenities. We only stayed one night, but were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub in the evening with no interruptions. My husband and I were there with my brother and sister in law and we all enjoyed ourselves terrifically.... More

I stayed at Hotel Alyeska for a Heli trip, very convenient access with the group meeting area in the lobby. King suite was very accommodating, comfy bed, beautiful views of the mountain (on even numbered units). The water and chocolates delivered to your room every evening was a sweet touch!;) Front desk staff very professional and on top of it.... More

We stayed on a Monday following Military Mondays at Alyeska. We really appreciate that they offer free lift tickets to military members on these days because it was so worth it. Everything in the hotel was great, the snowboarding was good, and Java House on site is so yummy!! Rooms can get a bit pricey but we enjoyed it and... More

Stayed at Alyeska with my wife yesterday. Everything was great - spring skiing, nice spa and good restaurants. Town shuttle will get you most places from hotel. Room was well appointed. Would totally stay again.

The only thing I can imagine that would be better than staying here in August would be coming back during ski season, so that is now on our list. There is absolutely nothing negative to say about this establishment, The rooms were perfectly cleaned and well appointed with great views, the food and beverage service was perfect, concierge extremely friendly...

We stayed here for three wonderful, unforgettable days. The staff was so welcoming, the views amazing. There is so much to do, even if you don't ski or snowboard. I spent a day snowshoeing, another day simply exploring, while my companion snowboarded. This is a truly beautiful, well kept hotel. There is a huge fireplace with lots of seating and... More
