Our room was exceptionally small and had neither closet nor luggage rack. It looked like it was intended for hourly customers. This impression was reinforced by the naked couple engaged in sexual activity in the window of the well lit adjacent room. We were also offput by the signs in the parking lot advising us to park at our own risk. The room was clean.

We love that they provide a shuttle from the airport. We only needed the room for the first night we arrived before we started our Alaska Adventure. Our room was older but worked exactly for what we needed, a room for a good nights rest after traveling. Love the lobby and the breakfast. Staff at the desk was really busy when we arrived but she handled it quite well, she did a great job. Have stayed before and would stay again.

Quite an old property, but clean and well maintained. The staff are very friendly, breakfast was ok and airport shuttle was great. The shower didn’t drain in our room and the air conditioning was as very loud.

The room was nice and the beds were comfortable. However, for our 4 night stay they never cleaned and restocked the room. One day they had replaced the towels and that was it. I had to ask at the front desk for extra towels, toilet paper and coffee. Everyone was very nice and the room was comfortable, but the lack of cleaning/restocking was a bummer.

Would stay again.

The bed was too soft, although the blankets and pillows were great. The breakfast was just a basic breakfast. Nothing special. The shuttle service was timely.

This was a terrible disappointment of a stay. First off the price charged was not what was quoted. Room was very small (10x14) and not what their website shows. They never came to clean the room in the 3 nights we stayed there. Very little imenties in the room. Bathroom was so small that when you sat on the toilet, your feet where in the shower.
