This is the most perfect place to stay for a quick night's sleep before heading to Homer. Beds are comfortable and I especially enjoyed drinking coffee out of a ceramic mug. Repeat traveler that appreciates the cost of a good night's rest.

This is an excellent little Motel. They communicate through text message but answer quickly. It was clean and well taken care of. Would have no hesitation to stay here again. Great little spot that was more reasonable than Anchorage or Girdwood.
