It is not fancy and the television wasn't working the first night, the restaurant wasn't open for dinner but the views were stunning. We had a really yummy traditional breakfast for only $10 a plate which was our cheapest meal of the trip. We aren't picky We were just happy to be in Alaska
My family of four had a pleasant stay here. The property was exactly as my son had requested - a woodsy lodge near a lake. Our room was tight but it was clean and we had enough soap, towels, etc. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. We had to wait a bit to be served, but we were told that as we were seated. If a restaurant is busy, then I assume that it's because the food and service are good, which is was. The lake setting is very pretty and we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise in the morning. We were able to walk across the street to buy snacks and just down the road is a shop that sells homemade fudge and crafts. We really enjoyed our time spent here and would stay again.
We checked in and were told we had been upgraded to a lodge room, rather than a hotel unit room, which based on other reviews was a good thing. Pros: Our room had two beds and a sleeper sofa/loveseat. It was relatively clean. Tiny tiny tiny bathroom, but whatever. Good satellite TV and free WiFi. Restaurant and bar onsite. They were ok - nothing special. But this lodge has a spectacular location. Trail Lake is gorgeous. Moose Pass is a cute little community, conveniently close to a lot of things to do. Now for the Cons: this property needs maintenance! It is falling apart. Mattresses are bad. Carpet was ripped and falling apart, balusters on the stairs were falling apart, the dock was not usable. Log siding and wooden trim all deteriorating. Just heartbreaking. It was probably so beautiful back in the day. Please show it some love!

Good for a night's stopover
Beautiful views, a nice restaurant with good food and a bar. It’s within driving distance of Seward and several hiking trails, and sits right next to a gorgeous lake where you can go kayaking. The rooms are decent, though the internet connection isn’t very reliable.
Like others we were put up at the motel across the street which is outdated and lacks any charme.
Very nice and kind owner cannot make up however for one of his staff who provided really uninspiring service, for defensive when we complained and even threatened to throw us out of the restaurant.
I hope the owner can fix this place - in the meantime I recommend you stay elsewhere.

Liked: Staff & service
The room is rustic and very small. It was clean and sparsely furnished. This is not unusual in small lodges in rural Alaska. Trail Lake and surrounding mountains are beautiful. The food in the restaurant is quite good.
This property I will review. Although the staff, restaurant and lounge were all great, the room is very small and the bed is very old. No amenities. No TV, no Internet. But the upside is it’s proximity to Kenai fjords national Park. I stayed two nights but paid more than the room was worth.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No tv. Friendly staff. Beautiful location.
No Tv. Almost non-existent wifi. It was only hotel in that town. However, it was in beautiful location , and library do offer a free wifi.
A very uncomfortable bed with an old mattress.
Heater didn’t work in the room and an electric heater didn’t keep the room consistently warm especially at nights. We checked out one day earlier than planned because we didn’t sleep well for two previous nights.
We thought we were staying at the lodge, but was given a room across the street at an older drive up motel they may have acquired later. No fridge, TV, coffee maker or microwave. Very very basic and small . Clean though and there was coffee at store across the street for morning. Ok for a quick overnite but not fir anything more
