The rooms are nice and specious. Everything is clean. The location is very good, very close to downtown. What we did not like is that they did not do our room every day.

We were refugees from a flight cancelation due to a storm. We picked the cheapest place within walking distance of downtown. This is a modest motel with a popular restaurant next door. A convenience store shares the parking lot where we found sandwiches for dinner since the weather was truly terrible. The staff are just wonderful, friendly and helpful. The next day they took us back to the airport in their courtesy van. I would stay here again.

Great location for walking into town and enjoyed the cafe. Room was spacious and kitchenette was very handy. The bathroom was recently remodeled and looked nice but the showerhead falls to the side and then spays all over the bathroom. I was unable to turn the heat down in the unit and was too hot at night.

It's Alaska, so it's different. We live in Fairbanks and were meeting family that flew in from the lower 48 and were boarding a cruise. It was a turn-and-burn, one-night stay. The hotel room was super clean, bed was super comfy, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the room was close (walkable) to an IGA grocery store, a liquor store, and an Alaska State museum. Totally recommend!
