"Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the property. The hotel was nice and clean with a lot of amenities. We had a minor issue with the room; no soap or shampoo but were able to ask a housekeeper for them. I was hoping to be very impressed based on the room rate we paid but we left a little underwhelmed."
"No one welcome us! No breakfast! No ac but it was fine coz it was nice cool weather and fresh air and peaceful! We like the statue of the bird at the front! We were rested! We left sooner around 9 am for breakfast somewhere and see aerial view in alyeska!"
"Trail Lake Lodge was a convenient and strategically located stop on our Alaska road trip. We were able to drive from Anchorage to Seward, visit Exit Glacier, and then continue to the lodge, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.
The lodge has a classic Alaska character and is in a beautiful setting. Our room was clean and the rate was lower than many lodging options in the region.
The check-in experience felt impersonal. While the staff member was professional and corrected a billing issue promptly, the interaction lacked the warmth and hospitality we experienced at other Alaska lodges.
The room was modest. The bathroom was very small and showed its age. The lakeside deck overlooking the water didn’t have outdoor seating available to relax and enjoy the views.
We also encountered some confusion during our departure. The lodge was locked when we tried to check out around 7:30 a.m. Eventually, a staff member let us in and explained their key drop box system.
Overall, Trail Lake Lodge provided a clean and reasonably priced place to stay in a great location. The setting is attractive and the lodge has a classic Alaska feel, but the dated room, tiny bathroom, lack of accessible lakeside seating, and somewhat indifferent service kept the experience from feeling particularly welcoming. It met our needs for a one-night stay, but it was not a memorable lodging experience. We visited early in the season, so perhaps they were still gearing up for the summer."
"The cabin was very clean. The check-in smooth and friendly. Plenty of parking. The cabin was well equipped. The heater worked great.
The only thing that wasn’t appealing was the outside view of this one particular cabin. The others were probably fine. I’d still stay in this same one though especially for mainly a good nights sleep."
