I'm so glad we spent the money for a view room - it's so serene there and gorgeous, we enjoyed the view from our room so very much. Although it's rustic - it's clean, private and we had a wonderful stay at the lodge. The restaurant can get pricey so ask for the 'bar' menu vs. the dinner menu! It's... More

This isn't the BEST hotel in the world, but it's a really nice place in a very remote location. the rooms are large, the people are helpful and the park is beautiful. There's enough to do in and around the park. This is exactly what we were expecting - a slightly nicer than usual lodge. Perfect. The biggest downside is... More

We stayed at Glacier Bay Lodge for three nights in early August. We booked a package including all meals and the Glacier Bay cruise. Also arranged our flights to and from Juneau through the lodge. Having read some earlier reviews we were a little apprehensive but would have to say that overall we had a very good experience and loved... More

The lodge is in a beautiful location in Bartlett Cove. From the dining room and deck, we watched many humpback whales feeding and breaching. The rooms were basic, but you are out in the middle of the woods. Food was generally good. The waitstaff were extremely friendly but the rest were a little inconsistent. Overall, a very convenient and pleasant... More

We recently spent 2 nights at the Glacier Bay Lodge. We opted to do the all-inclusive version which included two menu based dinners and two buffet breakfasts as well as the on site whale watching trip which included a lunch. (I am not sure why but our package did not include lunch on our second full day there...) The lodge... More

Glacier Bay Lodge was really nice. There is plenty to do at and around the Lodge. The dining room menu was very good! And on top of all of that...we took the day cruise. What a great way to end a great trip to Alaska! More

The lodge was small but a nice place to hang-out. Overnight accommodations are cabins accessed via a boardwalk. The Cabins were nicely appointed and comfortable. The setting was true costal backwoods. Within walking distance is a harbor where you can book a Glacier Bay cruise. Several hiking trails start at the lodge. The restaurant had excellent food and moderate prices.... More

Great place to stay because of its terrific location overlooking the bay inlet. They provide transportation to all the activities, although you may have to wait for the shuttle or bus to show up. We had all of our meals in the Lodge because going elsewhere would have been very difficult, but the meals were good. We obtained two nights... More

Beautiful setting, lots of ranger led activities. Room spacious and beds comfortable. Restaurant limited and fairly expensive as you would expect for this setting the food was nice. They catered to my gluten free, vegetarian needs without fuss. More

I just left a two night stay at the lodge. I was a little hesitant to stay here because I couldn't find any recent reviews but have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We were met at the airport and taken to the lodge. Our room was ready on arrival...a double bed and two single beds. Bed was ok. Room... More
