Preferred - accommodation in Anchorage

We found a hidden gem in Alaska, especially in Girdwood, AK. This is a great resort, at first when I read about this resort I thought they misspelled the name but actually it is called Alyeska Resort. This resort has a long history and it is located in a forest, right beneath Alyeska Mountain. Great drive from Anchorage to Girdwood with breathtaking views of Turnagain Arm, where are several places where you can take photos. The access to the Resort is very easy, surrounded by so cozy town of Girdwood, the most we really enjoyed the things that resort offers: Tram to the mountain Alyeska, where you can really enjoy the magnificent views and there is an affordable restaurant where you and your family can enjoy great food, relax under the sun, since we traveled in July we spent time by just relaxing up on the top, After you can take moderate hike down to the valley/resort. There are many great information boards where they explains how easy/moderate or difficult hikes are. Great salt water pool/spa and the gym, our family had a blast staying at the resort. In summer the day hours are longer , but resort has heavy curtains so you can sleep without eye covers. We really liked the interior of the hotel: the perfect mix of grand mountainside elegance and cozy alpine retreat, spaces feel incredibly warm and welcoming, decorated with Alaskan Artwork. The staff is very friendly, despite our late arrival they helped us to check in with positive attitude. Beds/pillows are very comfy.

We had a 11 hour layover so we needed a room last minute and this location was very accommodating! We were able to early check into a room with no issues and was provided complimentary shuttle to and from the Anchorage airport. Staff was very nice! Only complaint was the AC in the room wasn't working well. Great korean food next to the hotel as well!

No complaints about my 8 day stay.
