Brooks Falls

We stayed at the Aleyska in the summer months for an event. The property is beyond beautiful. The hotel building is grand and had all the needed amenities one would expect. The room was very clean and well appointed. Most of the employees we encountered were friendly and hospitable. The restaurants were clean and waitstaff accommodating, though not all were knowledgeable regarding menu offerings and on one occasion our server disappeared. Dine-in food was delicious. However, I did not care for the fact that none of the "things to do" are included for guests. The spa and ski lift tram, bikes etc. are all for fee attractions. The prices were per person and very high, making it disheartening to have to choose what to do for a family with children and ultimately opting to go elsewhere for our adventure. Other than to see it, there is really no benifit to being a guest with this hotel. It was a very expensive room to sleep in for the night. Many hotels offer less expensive rooms AND include bikes, kyaking, saunas, heated showers in the pool room. I can see that staying here in the winter for the sking my have some better benifit.

Left before breakfast. Shuttle & driver were great. The main door to our room did not lock properly,
