Old school lodge with basic, but comfortable accommodations. The feel is a bit out of date, but you are in Glacier Bay National Park. No need for TVs or WiFi in the rooms. The lodge does have WiFi if you’re itching to stay connected. There is a fireplace in the sitting area, with puzzles and reading material, and comfy chairs/couches, as well as a restaurant, and the park Visitors Center upstairs. The restaurant is ok. It is run by Aramark, so what can you expect? The only item that really stood out as remarkable was the halibut tacos. They are worth a try. Everything else I tried was meh. Still better than overpriced stadium food though I suppose. And…Glacier Bay National Park.

2 nights at Glacier Bay

It’s a National Park Lodge so it’s basic, as you would expect. It was clean, comfortable and in a location that is remarkable. We stayed here for two nights. After the first night staff came by and asked if we needed anything. How often does that happen in a “high end” hotel?

Glacier Bay Lodge was a wonderful stay in a beautiful part of the world! It had everything we needed- rustic charm, friendly people, comfy beds, a restaurant and excellent customer service! They provided shuttle service from and to the airport and ferry and to other places as needed. They also provided several tour options- the Glacier Bay boat tour was excellent! Drawbacks for some people would be no refrigerator in the rooms and no tv in the rooms or main lodge area. However, there are ice buckets in the rooms that restaurant staff will fill up as needed.

Worth the visit

Nice quiet location. Our room was clean and the service overall was decent. The staff is seasonal and not always coordinated. Sometimes the server was excellent other times it was lacking. There is no rash area to gather and play cards or games. The lounge area has couches and is the only place with internet. You can’t sit in the dining area because it’s constantly being turned over for the next meal. It would be nice to have another place to gather especially since it rains frequently. We did find 1 table upstairs with 4 chairs that we cleared off park material so we could play cards. The food was decent, pretty much the same menu everyday so if your coming for more then a night or two be prepared. Breakfast hot items were warm not hot but the selection was decent. There is no bar but you can order alcohol during meal hours or if someone is available when the dining area is closed. The hiking trails are nice and i would recommend the boat trip in Glacier Bay. Overall the stay was good and I would recommend it to others.

I was really looking for a vacation where I could unplug, relax, spend time outdoors, and take photos of animals. Glacier Bay was the perfect place to do this, and Glacier Bay Lodge's location in the national park made it a great choice. We spent a week there (August 14-20). I was a little nervous reading the reviews left by others, for no reason. I think a lot of people went early "post" pandemic and the property was likely struggling with supply chain and staffing issues that were happening globally. Other reviewers seem to forget they were going to a national park. - The room had plenty of light, the bathroom fixtures were dated but it was clean and there was a moisture absorber in the closet - important for a rainforest setting. There was no mold, the bedding and room were clean. - Food options were somewhat limited, mostly because we're vegetarians, we packed shelf stable, high-protein snacks to supplement. There is only one restaurant ON property, but that's more than many national parks have. The food was good, the staff altered menu items to create novel options for us. - The staff were friendly and helpful. They shared their favorite hikes, photos & videos they had taken while exploring the park themselves. They were not intrusive but were happy to chat with us and seemed to enjoy working together a great deal. - Transportation was great, even when Alaska Air's tower went down and one transport became 10. The driver also took us to a hike offsite for free.

The property was great and the staff was very good. A suggestion that I would have is: have the option to purchase a sack lunch if you are going out for the day or have a conveince store area where you could purchase sandwiches, chips, cookies, etc.

We loved our stay at Glacier Bay Lodge! Beautiful setting and friendly staff. The room had a noisy heater, but it kept us toasty on those cold Alaska nights. Would be nice to have coat hooks for drippy clothes, but otherwise everything was very comfortable and relaxing. We were there five nights and it was perfect. Did the day boat, kayak tour, and hiked all the trails - highly recommend.

Glacier Bay Lodge is several miles outside of the small town of Gustavus, but the destination of choice for travelers to the area, providing an optimal staging place for trips out to the glacier. We hiked the coast on the forest trails running north and south from the lodge. Both trails are extremely well maintained and gorgeous the whole way through. The staff was more than happy to ensure we knew all of the risks in the area and allow us to borrow bear spray just in case things went sideways. Not convenient if wanting to visit Gustavus, but a problem easily solved with a rental. Otherwise, shuttle service is available to and from the airport without the need to rent a car if you are visiting for the glacier tours.

Poorly run lodge

Hotel is in remote place, where food supplies and employees are hard to find. Given that it is run by a major company. They have the skills to work with food suppliers. Besides hamburger, everything else is not available.
