Blodget Lake

No juice for our 2 night stay at breakfast. Comfort had old blood stains, was washed. For $300 plus a night very disappointed, on an emergency stop, no rooms available before 2. TV had issues with satellite. Carpet could be cleaned

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.

Lots of homeless in the street, no restaurant nearby , with coffee but not tea . Carpet looks and feels dirty. Expensive for the price .
