The room was simple but very clean. It was in a remote area so wouldn’t want to stay more than one night, but it served its purpose to get us out of Anchorage on our way to Seward.

Check in was smooth and simple. There was no AC only a loud fan to circulate air in the room. We thought it was overpriced for the location. Someone else booked it for us, but we should have looked ourselves. We would have found nicer places for less expense.

A fun little motel with a great view of the mountains! It was a warm night and we couldn’t figure out how to turn off the base board heating so we opened the window. Room was clean and had a retro feel to it. We also liked the big eagle statue in the middle of the property!

This reasonable priced motel is a great choice if you’re spending a few days pre-cruise. It is just down the road from Anchorage off by itself near great hiking and convenient to the glaciers. The exterior is a bit dated, but our room had been nicely updated with all the standard expectations along with some charming touches. It is a virtual check in; however, the host was very responsive to email or text which made it super easy. Would definitely stay here again.

We arrived late and simply entered our room code. The motel was an older building, but inside had been renovated within the last few years. It was a clean and nice place to stay on the road. We literally came in, showered, slept and then we left the next morning.
