Not a lot of options in town

...but very comfortable, clean, nice staff, and a nice view. Without much competition around, this place is nicer than it has to be.

This is a relatively tough review to write as Bethel is not London nor is is Paris. Bethel is remote Alaska which means that the entire area is austere, to say the least. The River House is perfect for that setting. I was there during and ice storm and a blizzard (one followed the other). The hotel was clean, warm, dry, comfortable and well stocked in its kitchens. It was quiet and everything worked well. Put simply, it was perfect for what it needed to be. I am certain I will stay there again when I go back to Bethel.
