I stayed in a deluxe King room for 5 nights during a conference held at the resort. This is not the sort of accommodation I would normally choose if not for it being the conference venue. The setting is beautiful with lots of hiking trails taking over from the ski runs during the summer months. The resort was large with many carbon copy rooms, reminiscent of a cruise ship dropped at the base of a mountain. The staff were all courteous, efficient and helpful with directions and advice on activities. Bottled water was provided in my room, this was not necessary as the tap water is the best I have ever tasted in over 100 countries visited. The bathroom products were provided in small plastic bottles when refillable dispensers are preferred for earth friendly purposes. The dining options are not particularly suited to a solo traveller and menus were also limited for my nutritional requirements. There is a small village which has a grocery store and a handful of eateries, and some more take away options at the intersection with the main road for those not keen on resort dining or resort prices. These are all within walking distance along an easy to follow path for those with time and energy, otherwise there is a loop bus service operating approximately hourly. For those who do not hire a vehicle, transport options from the airport that I used were the Girdwood Express and the Red Eye, both were very good but the latter only runs twice a day.

6.6/10 (1,564 reviews)
The room has no couch, coffee table, desk chair, coffee maker, the refrigerator was a micro, and the nightstands seem like their missing something. Additionally, I completed the online check in and had to repeat everything again when I got to the hotel because none of what I did online transferred over to the system in the hotel. The entire room was not worth the $440 I spent on it, I will advise others to not stay here at these rates for these sub-par accommodations.
