Trail Lake Lodge

Really enjoyed my stay at Trail Lake Lodge. The setting is stunning and I had a great meal at the restaurant after a day of fishing in the rain. It's also conveniently located between Cooper Landing and Seward.

I never stayed at this place. I booked b/c it came up as Seward location. It was not until I spoke with cab driver, that I found it was a thirty minute drive.

Our stay in Trail Lake Lodge at Moose Pass was wonderful. The accommodations were lovely. The staff was kind- particularly the folk up front named Gwen. An absolute delight! Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Precious little town. Thank you!

A local review! We love this place and these people. This is Alaska. It's not fancy but it's warm and inviting.  Good drinks. Good company. Simple food. It's worth the stop and always has lots of local character.

It is no 5 star hotel by any means. What you get is what is advertised. If you are looking for a warm place to stay between Anchorage/Seward this is an option that works....there is no fridge/tv/microwave/electronics/modern stuff which is great if you are just looking for a warm room....the bed is hard as a rock and you best have a chiropractor appointment ready for after your stay because you will need it....but if you don't want to get eaten by bears, stay in a tent, get wet, sleep in your car and you don't want to swim in the sewage smelling lake, the hotel room in and of it's self is clean, you get a warm room/shower...never saw anyone so that was fine as well. We just needed a place to stay and not pay an arm/leg for and this worked.

Good people, service and food! Room clean and comfortable. Not a Hilton, but for the price a good “Alaska” hotel. We will be back.

The location worked wonderful for our group of 3.  We drove from Anchorage (airport) with many stops along the way. We arrived after hours to find a self check in system that was absolutely no hassle.  The view of the lake is amazing.  I had made note of this place on a previous trip as it was just too beautiful to drive by and keep going but that trip we didn't have reservations.  On this trip we stayed 3 nights.  We used it as a base to go hiking in Whittier , white water rafting on day 2, and floating the Kenai River on day 3.  The rooms are small but equipped better than some expensive hotels.  Think, microwave sitting on top of mini-fridge, next to sink with coffee pot.  We didn't need much more as our days were spent outside and the room was for sleeping. The beds are not plush but they are comfortable.  We had coffee in the room and would grab a breakfast burrito from the restaurant on our way out.  We never made it back in time to have dinner at the restaurant but we were told by other guests it was very good. We had a hot shower each night with plenty of linens.  It was all we needed.

I know a lot of the reviews have been negative but this lodge is just a simple, comfortable motel. The rooms haven’t been renovated so they’re a little run down but almost everything was spotless and the linens were clean. I’d say just some of the corners were a bit dusty and there were some hard water stains in the sink. The mattresses are a little saggy but were still decently comfortable. We stayed for a night to catch an early kayak tour out of Seward and it was a good deal. Most other places closer to Seward were at least 2x the cost for a room. Definitely recommend; just don’t expect the Rosewood.

Friendly staff. Easy check in process. Clean rooms. Reliable internet. Quiet area. Two twin beds with electric base board heat. Our room did not have a television or coffee maker and the restaurant does not open until noon, so limited options for breakfast in the area. Nice place to rest on way back from Seward to Anchorage.

Great location on beautiful lake!

The Trail Lodge was a much better price range than the rooms at Seward. A mini fridge would have been nice. There’s no AC, or fan, but the window had a screen, and the temp was fine. Our biggest complaint was the mattress. It was a 1 star. Ugh!  There’s not tv, or phone, so we walked over to the lodge which is very log cabin and was clean. The staff were all hospitable. The beer was good. She even gave a little sip of the on taps so we’d get what we like. Later we had the best wings!

We were not sure what to expect with the wide range of reviews but we were very happy with our stay. First, the staff was amazing, from the person who checked us in to the restaurant staff, the nice manager we spoke to about our loud, drunk neighbors (they then quieted down), and the cleaning staff. Second, though older (we were in across the street motel section), it was very clean, beds were fine, shower was great. There was a disinfectant smell on arrival but not bad and to be expected in older property in Alaska. So overall very pleased.

Was looking for an affordable location for the night between two days at Kenai Fyords and this place was great.  Although I did not eat there, there was what appeared to be a great restaurant associated with the property.  It was lake front but again I was not able to see what options or views there may have been.  The room was across the street from the restaurant and was basic but easily filled my needs of a clean and comfortable place to sleep and shower for the night.  Would certainly stay again if back in the area.

View is amazing! Staff is super nice. Stayed 2 separate nights. 1 night room had icky odor. Second night a different room was fine. Beds are ok for comfort. Small. But we didn’t need much. Had 3 in our room.  Good darkened rooms for sleeping. Has a restaurant and bar.  2 of us loved their  burgers. My salmon was ok. Priced right. Again, nice staff!

Love the mountains!

The property is a neat little place on a lake with beautiful scenery.  It's an older place and there is nothing fancy.The people are pleasant to talk to, and very helpful.  The restaurant had good food.  There were 4 people in our room, and there was not enough hot water to go around.Cold showers aren't my thing.  Other than that, everything was great.

This is a fun, historic place right on a lake where float planes take off and land.  They also have a quite good restaurant for lunch and dinner meals.  Building shows its age as do the rooms but, again, one is staying in an older and historic place.  It is about 20-30 minutes from Seward so we drove back and forth several times during our 2-night stay.  Note that you'll pay much less for this place than similar lodging options in Seward.
