This was a very nice Stay. Close to bird watching at Creamer's Field and close to the Fountainhead Antique Automobile and Fashion Museum. Food was good at the restaurant, actually, very good.
After our VBRO cancelled last minute and had issues getting a refund. We went to Bear Lodge. The staff were open and friendly and went above and beyond to welcome us last minute. Rates were reasonable. The rooms were clean and the grounds were very nice. I will recommend this hotel to anyone.
Late arrival at the airport was no problem for the free shuttle pick up. 2:30 am check in was no problem either.
Breakfast was expensive but most everything is in Alaska.

Many indoor and outdoor common areas to relax and socialize.
We were not part of a tour group, so it seemed pretty quiet. We were told by a front desk clerk most of the occupants were from tour groups, explaining an empty parking lot. It was also mentioned that if you were not part of a tour group the rates are much higher. This was disappointing to hear.
The person that picked us up from the airport at midnight was happy informative and went way beyond taking care of us. The room was large and pretty , best we've had so far. My only complaint would be no food, but actually that has been an ongoing problem. I love this place, I'd stay again.
