The rooms were decently sized; I really liked the split room/bath area. There’s nothing too fabulous about the bathrooms, which surprised me as the hotel is somewhat "resorty".
They had beautiful views from many of the hotel windows (including our room). The shuttle service (gratis and available 7 days a week) is quite nice as Girdwood is a small town without taxis. The hotel's spa was pleasant, small but nice, I had a great massage while watching the snow fall outside.
The huge hot-tub and pool area were fantastic with great views! I would have given this beautiful hotel a higher rating had there been more to do in the hotel. Many of the bars/restaurants associated with the Alyeska Prince were closed until the weekend and that's when we left.
