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.

Nice, quiet stay. Too high cost.
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.

A little lonely...but a great resort
Our stay was very pleasant. The hotel was clean and the staff helpful and pleasant! The Bear Lodge is part of a larger resort eith lots to do. We were here at the end of the season so there were very few people at our location and the front desk at our building was never manned so it felt weird and alone. The restaurant was closed, vending machines unplugged, no coffee, etc. Not too many restaurants within close walking distance. But we liked the resort and would stay again earlier in the season
