We stayed at this motel for 1 night on our way from Valdez to Anchorage. We arrived late around 9 PM on a rainy day and the check-in was smooth. The room, bathroom, and the bed were clean. The room had a microwave, coffee maker, and a small sink. The parking was right in front of the room. Overall a great simple and basic stay.

I arrived after a long day of driving to a cookie at check in and the most comfortable bed and pillows! The room was incredibly clean, sheets smelled wonderful, and there was a perfect little kitchenette. The location is very convenient but there was some road noise. Overall, so much attention to detail that was so appreciated after a week of travel.

It was perfect for what we needed! The staff was very nice, they offered us sparkling water and cookies. We were able to park our trailer there. The rooms were out dated but clean and comfortable.

Don’t stay here
Wasn’t as nice as it appeared in the picture. No air conditioning. Was informed after 2 days with no room service that we had to “sign up for daily room service when we booked the room”. Never heard of that before especially when booking a room for 5 days. We took the dirty towels to the office ourselves so they wouldn’t mildew (as well as the trash) and had them give us clean ones. It was also loud at night as it is in the middle of town.
