Stayed for 2 nights and it had all the amenities we could have. Rooms were clean and spacious, kitchen was a bonus. Would definitely stay here next time
The fireplace in the room really was the cherry on top of a day of hiking. Check-in was seamless, the room was fresh, and it was in a perfect, convenient location. I would definitely stay here again!
Lodge is on the road to exit glacier and the national park. Check in was super easy, the staff we easy to message and the room was large, comfortable, new with dining table and kitchenette with dishes.
Self-check-in, very convenient. New property so nice accommodations. Great shower, kitchenette handy! And terrific location for hiking at Exit Glacier.
My boyfriend & I were looking for a lil quaint spot just to wind down for the day…..drove in from Anchorage & the lodge was just what we needed. Room very clean & quiet for the most part(few kids running around outside - lil noisy but that didn’t last long)
I will definitely be back
we had a 2 bed room - its was large. Had a nice kitchen which was great for breakfast (Microwave only). One thing that would have been nice is to have a stove or hot plate to cook up some eggs and a toaster.
Would highly recommend this property.
Room was 10/10 wonderful space, clean and beautiful. Would totally stay there again. Beautiful property.
Not a huge fan of no front office/ self check in, it didn’t work for us so we had to wait, coffee shop wasn’t open yet which was rough because you’re not “in town” and not any trails around the property we found. Would love if they were pet friendly but would try them out again over the summer when we are back for games or quick weekend since we don’t live far.
Nice location, a little out of the hustle and bustle of town, close to Exit Glacier. Clean well-appointed rooms. Comfortable beds. Fabulous shower. Helpful kitchenette. Plenty of space in the room. Great find.
Only thing we did not like: would have liked more check in info prior to arrival. We were nervous we would not be able to get the info sent through hotels.com bcs of lack of internet/cell service while traveling, but we did eventually receive a text directly from the Spruce Lodge staff.
We didn’t use the kitchen but it had a stove, large refrigerator with ice maker and a microwave. Interior was neat and clean. It was a self check in, easy instructions and our code were emailed hours before check in just as was stated they would.
The only thing we noticed missing was bath soap of any kind.
The exterior grounds looked like we were at a construction site with some kind of big equipment beeping at 6 something in the morning while backing up.
Great location, the entrance of exit glacier is nearby.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
Somehow soulless experience with completely remote check in and out. Didn’t see a human the whole time! The room is ok but poorly laid out with a barn door right next to bed which is impractical if two people. Also door came off rollers multiple times for no reason and trapped whoever was in bathroom until other person released them!
