Bryan and I decided to pamper ourselves for this month's Weekend Getaway. We got ourselves a room at the Alyeska Resort instead of renting a cabin. This made our typical packing a lot easier as we did not have to deal with food - so my car was more than adequate for the trip.
The hotel is such a nice place, with a beautiful setting and very comfortable common areas. The entryway is a very big space with the Northern Lights & a Polar Bear greeting you at the front door. The comfy blankets & pillows invite you to sit in the window to gaze up at the ski slopes, and the moose head in the lobby adds a very Alaskan touch to the decor.
Our room was up on the 7th floor and had been just recently redecorated. The lady checking us in said that it was one of the nicer rooms they had. The bed was HUGE and it even boasted a big bathtub to soak in after a day of skiing.
Being up so high meant that we had a great view of the mountain - even with the rain/slush coming down all day. Had it been ski season we would have been able to watch all the people enjoy the slopes, but everything was shut down. We still had enjoyed the view, regardless.
The one thing our room did not have (and I had neglected to bring our own) was a table - so we packed everything up and took it all down to the common room and set up shot at a corner table. It worked out really well down there, with plenty of room for my cardmaking and his computer work too!
