Nice place to stay!
Very spacious and clean room, with easy self check-in. Plenty of parking and many things to do close by - exit glacier and downtown Seward were quick drives away. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and would definitely stay again.

Overall great.
Great check in process and service. The room was a good size but could use some paint or wall cleaning to remove some scuffs in multiple places.

Nice Lodge
No problems aside from lack of AC but that's most (maybe all) lodges here. And it's cool enough to where that's not a big deal.
Otherwise, great stay!

Good enough for a budget hotel. Clean rooms, good kitchen. There is also an Apple TV provided which is good for evenings/night stay in the room. However it would have been better if they provided kitchen tissues and chopping boards. Also, I am still clueless if they do clean the room if you don’t put the “do not disturb” sign. We stayed for 3 days and didn’t see they coming to clean the room. Very close to Harding ice field and there is a grocery store also nearby.

New, comfortable rooms. My only complaint is that the room numbers were too small and the same color as the building, so it was hard to find our room when arriving.

Lovely accommodations but hard to find!
Stayed in a two bedroom chalet. Accommodations were lovely- plenty of room for the 4 of us- everything looked brand new. However, our check in was effectuated by text with the name of the unit and a code to get in, but no directions as to where the unit was located. There are multiple buildings. The road in to the lodge was unpaved and there is little lighting at night. We fortunately arrived during daylight but it took a lot of driving around to find the unit. A map would have been very helpful and essential for anyone renting a chalet and arriving after dark.

Wonderful Lodge
Huge, well equipped, modern room. Immaculate.
Rooms have no air conditioning and a fan would be a welcome addition.
Very convenient location to both Exit Glacier and Seward.

Lovin’ on Spruce Lodge
We loved Spruce Lodge. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Lodge is a little out of town so really quiet. Lodge provided a convenient shuttle service to and from town but it was not free.
Coffee shop had good drinks but I would pass on the other items.
There was a good eatery right across the street for dinner.
We would gladly visit Spruce Lodge again.
