The location is great for hiking and access to the glacier park. The room was generally clean, except that the fridge contained the leftover food from the guest before us. Overall, the stay was great and we would book here again.

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are nicely updated, clean and well-furnished. Comfortable beds, thick towels and a small breakfast table and chairs.

It is a small motel near the scenic road from Anchorage to Seward. The view awesome. It takes 30- 40 minutes to get to Anchorage, 20 minutes to get to Wild life center and 40 minutes to Whittier. The price is much reasonable compared to the fancy hotels in Anchorage and Sewards. There is a gas station next to the motel. We brough our own food. We did not see many dinning options.

I recently stayed at this motel about 30 minutes from Anchorage, and it was a good experience. The location is safe, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. I loved being able to walk right from the motel to some stunning scenic trails—perfect for a morning hike or evening stroll. Veronica updated us with all the details we needed on the day of check-in, making the process smooth and stress-free. The self check-in was convenient and easy to use.

It is next to the highway so very convenient to drive to view points on the way to Seward. I stay for one night after long drive. I found it is actually a great stop to continue the next day trip to either Whittier or Seward. This part of Hwy is very scenic.

Loved the bathtub! A real one from back in the day before shrinkflation took over and started shrinking everything. Best price on the peninsula in the tourist season. Being a local forced to go to Anchorage for whatever reason, it was nice to be just outside the overpriced zone. Thank you, Veronica!
