    This is a cute, rustic hotel in the heart of Ogden canyon. One side of the hotel faces the road and mountainside while the other side faces the river. When you select your room or cabin, you can opt for which side you'd like. My wife and I stayed in the Gold Rush room, which faces the water. We opened the window at night to get some fresh air and cool off the room since we struggled to get the AC to work. It was nice to have the scent of the mountain air flow in. The hotel is Alaskan themed with rustic cabin walls, a deer mounted in the lobby and mountain themed furniture. It's cozy and quaint. There were a few things that made the stay slightly less comfortable such as no fitted sheet on the bed-chasing the sheet all night every time you move isn't a fun way to slumber. We had a hard time getting the AC to work and were very hot all night. The breakfast was ok, although it was pretty cold. I can appreciate that it's hard to prepare several different meals all around the same time, but cold biscuits and gravy is a bummer. Overall, this is in a beautiful location, which carries a lot of the appeal for the Alaskan Inn. I will probably drive a bit further up the road and pitch a tent at the nearby campground when I want to return and explore the area.

    I was on a work trip and found this inn very close to where I needed to be early in the morning. I stayed here on a week night and arrived around 6pm to check in. I might have been the only guest in the main building and think they have about 10 rooms on the first floor. The inn is located right in Ogden Canyon and gorgeous views driving into the canyon, with rushing water through the river and a few waterfalls spouting water. Check in was easy and the attendant was nice and pleasant. I asked if he could recommend a sunset hike, and he provided me with an info sheet with local hikes. Breakfast is complimentary here and probably the nicest service I have seen in a long time. The attendant takes your order and breakfast is brought to your room from 7am - 10am. I called in the morning at 6:40am and breakfast came at 7:10am. It's a nice spread and the hospitality was old school, which I enjoyed. A few things were off about my stay. First, I could not get wifi in my room. It wasn't the end of the world as I was only staying for one night, and it helped me to just disengage. Second, there were two heaters in the room, and I could not find the remote for the second more modern heater. I did really enjoy the nice big bathtub and can see this coming in handy on a very cold Utah night after a day skiing. Bed was super comfy, and sheets were very crisp, the way I like them. Overall, it was a nice stay, and I think if I wasn't on a work trip, I'd come back again and stay here and just unplug for a while.

    Generally loved our experience at the Alaskan Inn! The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was included, which was perfect for starting the day. Clean rooms and cute cabins. It's positively dreamy during the winter or spring. The jet tub in the room is on the older side - not keeping the water hot for long and the jets are slower. Huge, comfortable bed. Love the twinkle lights outside. Definitely would recommend this getaway! And it's close to downtown Ogden if you want to go out to eat. Thank you!

    Girlfriend and I stayed here for a couple days. Cabin was cute and cozy. Staff were friendly. Had tried to contact them before we stayed via phone, website and Facebook got no reply. Their website needs a bit of work too. More online presence would do them good. Food was yummy. All around a good experience. With communication was better. Will come back.

    I love love LOVE the Alaskan Inn! I truly can't say enough good things about this place. You can choose to stay in a private cabin or in one of their newer rooms inside the "hotel" area. You can't go wrong with either option. Inside rooms still have plenty of privacy and you don't hear the hallway or your neighbors. They also do room service so you can get a yummy dessert late at night. Another thing I love is that they include a breakfast for everyone who stays, which you order the night before. You can also order additional things for special occasions like flowers for anniversaries, an entire cake for birthdays, etc. And the service is always so great. It feels like they really know you and care about their guests. They also have large jacuzzi tubs in each room so you can relax. I just love being able to wake up, open the windows, and see the gorgeous mountains right outside.

    So there is good and bad with the Alaskan Inn, To start with the good is, The manager Brenda is amazing and super friendly and so willing to help in any way possible, she was the best! All of the staff is super friendly, and always willing to help, the location is really pretty, especially in the winter, we stayed there in February. Lots of snow in Ogden Canyon is very pretty that time of year. My wife ordered roses and picnic basket, that was perfect! The food is pretty OK, breakfast is served right to your room nice and hot and anything that you order from the menu is on the tray. The not so good, the facility is not in good working order, our heater in our room is new and did not work so we had to use the old heater, if you're trying to fill the spot tub in the bathroom, the shower does not turn off so while you're filling the tub or if you're wanting to add water you're also taking a shower, The caulking around the tub is all cracked and leaks water everywhere, there's a constant dripping noise 24 hours a day that continues to drip all night long and will sound like Chinese water torture after a while, I did not sleep hardly at all the entire weekend because it was so noisy, don't recommend rooms on the canyon road side, super noisy day and all night. I had a chicken sandwich that came on a bun that looked like it had been sacrificed to the bread gods, the tomato slices were thicker than the chicken, more mayo than anything, I just didn't eat the bread. The bad, our room was on the road side so all night long you don't get any sleep because of the cars going up and down the canyon, some of them so loud, it rattles the windows in the room, this went on all night long, our dog was a mess from it being so noisy, she never settled down. We ended up leaving a day early... More good to finish, We got a massage and Brenda was so kind to check in on Duchess while we were out for an hour. For the staff we loved, for the facility not so much.

    Went here for our honeymoon, the theming is great and the staff was super nice. My only complaint would be that on our check out day we didn't receive our breakfast and we're rushed out. (Our honeymoon was a few days before Memorial Day and the weekend.) we could tell they were gearing up for the holiday weekend but that's sad we were pushed aside for it. :( Other than that there isn't any complaints. Although my phone service was practically non existent but my husbands wasn't and we're on the same network with the same phone. ‍ so just be warned you may or may not have phone service and working wifi.

    My husband and I came here for a staycation for our first wedding anniversary. This place was everything we wanted. The staff is very nice, the cabins are so cute, each room has their own theme. The location makes you feel like you are at a far away get away. The rooms were clean, had complementary sparkling cider. The jet tubes were awesome, makes me want to get one for my home. The breakfast that is served to your door was surprisingly really good, it made me look forward to our second morning breakfast. Overall a great experience and can't wait to go back.

    Beautiful lobby!

    Absolute amazing find! We spent the week hotel hopping and this was our last stop. Our only disappointment is that we didn't find it sooner! We will definitely be back!

    Our stay was just what we needed! Our family was visiting from Arizona for a funeral and we needed a little time to our selves. The cabin was perfect for the three of us. My daughter slept in in the bunk beds and was thrilled. Our bed was comfortable and soft. We were spoiled with sparkling cider and chocolates . Breakfast choice was wonderful! The only small complaint we had was that our breakfast was cold, We were so looking forward to it so that was a bit of a disappointment. We will be returning for sure!!

    Romance is harder than you think, but not here. My husband surprised me with a stay at the Alaskan Inn Feb 28th and Mar 1st 2019 (our second wedding anniversary). Here were my thoughts about the establishment: Location: To be honest I'd never noticed this place in the canyon before, I thought it was kind of neat the way it was tucked into the side of the canyon. I walked around through the entire property and it doesn't seem to matter which room you end up in, you will have a view of something. In the Cascade room, where we stayed, there was a giant tree in front of the window which offered a little more privacy. I loved sleeping with the window open and smelling the trees, and hearing the river. There is no better white noise than this and you can probably hear the Ogden river from any room you stay in because it runs right behind the property. Noise: I was surprised that being off of a semi-busy road there was no noise from the road. The other thing that surprised me was for being a romantic place, we didn't hear any of the other couples. I could sometimes hear the hot tubs turn on in the hallway, but I didn't hear anything else, it was really quiet which afforded me more time to focus on my stay instead of what my have been going on in the next room. Staff: Everyone we dealt with was amazing. When we checked in with Jordan she was super sweet and helpful. We mostly dealt with her and she was really friendly and accommodating. There was another woman my husband dealt with to handle the romance packages and I can't remember her name, but she was also great with helping my husband carry out the surprises for our anniversary. Everyone there was top notch. Facilities/booking: Like most everyone else reviewed, booking online is the pits. My husband got tipped off to this place when trying to find a way to celebrate our anniversary from a friend and he booked online after seeing all these amazing photos and just falling in love with the place. My suggestion is, don't book online. It's better to call in and know what room you're getting because most of the time when you book online, you get assigned a room and that's no fun. We ended up in the Cascade room, which is the only room not photographed online. I think this place is renovating things because unlike most of the rooms with a cohesive theme and decor, this room did not have that. We didn't get the neat rustic bed, which was upsetting to my husband, and some of the furniture didn't match or go along with what the room was called. That kind of thing didn't really matter to me, but my husband thought we would be in a cabin that was rustic and romantic with a fireplace and we ended up in the lodge in a room that was kind of disjointed in the way of themes. The bed was comfortable and new from what the gal said at the front desk, the green headboard and frame it sat on didn't feel very cohesive to the room and we kept stubbing our toes/legs on it when we walked around the room because it sticks out just a bit further than the bed does. The room was clean, and I didn't notice any real wear and tear in it. The hot tub was well maintained, and clean! I can't say enough about that. I'm not picky when it comes to decor and furniture but cleanliness is imperative. There was also a fridge and a coffee maker! Extras/romance packages: When we arrived the room was made up nicely, there were mints on the pillows, and a bottle of Martinelli's chilling already. I didn't know it at the time but my husband had purchased a few things. He set it up so that while we were away having dinner they would drop rose petals all over the room and the bed, and fold towels into swans, they also took our wine out of the fridge and started it chilling so when we came back from dinner the room was ready for us. I was surprised and happy. My husband found it easy to work with the staff to make these surprises happen for me. He ordered another package that was hot chocolate and a marshmallow chocolate spread that was delivered right on on time and we loved it. It was the best anniversary so far. I was really impressed with all they offer for couples to help them reconnect and melt away the troubles of the outside world. I was also really impressed with the lobby shop. There were the usual tampax, medicines, etc, but there was a whole shelf for adult sexy time items. There was flavored dust, bath bombs for the jacuzzi tubs, and other neat stuff. None of it was wildly inappropriate, I could have walked right by there with my kids and they would have been none the wiser as to what any of it was for, but it was nice having some extra options. I would highly recommend this place for couples that need to reconnect. This place makes romance easy so you can focus on each other, and remember why you decided to be together in the first place. You can't put a price tag on having togetherness like this. I came away feeling really great about my marriage and recharged. Great experience!

Plenty of other unimproved areas as well as an expertly manicured awesome waterfall, pond and real grass garden behind the joint. The garden area is isolated from a busy train track by a large berm but you can definitely tell the trains go by. There's a couple of gas stations as well as a 7-11 just a block away to top off the tank and get a slurpee before you get back on the road. Breakfast was a typical free menu but I noticed they had a rotating feature each day.

Super unfortunate when trying to take a shower because the tub kept filling up, I kept having to grab the drain every 30 seconds to lift it up manually - which kept making my hands slimy. Even getting the drain to stay up momentarily, the tub still backed up. After having a look under the drain I now understand why. The tub in general just looked unclean, with a greenish stain surrounding the drain area. It looks almost like there was an attempt to clean, but not a great one. Additionally, the water was warm (not hot) at the hottest setting for less than 5 minutes, then the water started to get cold again. The luke warm water would also fluctuate in pressure when it was warm - super strange. Was also not a huge fan of the body wash, "Argan Oil Complex", whatever the scent is smells straight up like play doh; "fun to play with, not to eat" (or wash your body with). The bed was not super comfortable, somehow stiff AND springy. I found myself tossing and turning trying to find the "sweet spot" and just couldn't quite get there. Not up to par for $100+ per night. The staff was friendly, and helpful when it came to the check-in process, but the experience of having to try to fix things, or deal with them rather, just to make staying here manageable was not awesome.
