The hotel was pretty average. It feels like its heyday was a decade or two ago and is in need of some TLC. The property is maintained, but at a pretty basic level. Tub inserts, residential window unit ACs, standard box spring beds, well-worn hallway carpet, and squeaky flooring. For the Summer rates, I had higher expectations, to be honest. The rooms were larger than typical newer builds, though, so there was plenty of room to leave suitcases open. The most disappointing aspect was the restaurant. It had been talked up, so maybe expectations were set too high. The overall value of the experience just wasn't there. We stayed at a newly remodeled property downtown at the start of our trip and had a much better experience with similar costs.

I’m not quite certain why this place gets so many bad reviews. It’s how it’s described. Not fancy, solid rooms, comfy beds. It’s pretty basic for a mid-range hotel. We did not have a view but that didn’t matter for us. We had been looking at Alaskan mountains for 10 days. If you are high maintenance, you may want to stay elsewhere. If you are laid back, this place is solid.

No free coffee or tea. I reserved the room weeks in advance and online checked in several days before but when I arrived at the hotel I was provided a room with no view - was told that that’s all that was left at that late hour. I should have had my room reserved when I online checked in - else why bother to do It? It only saves a few minutes at the time of check in but it took me a lot longer prior to fill in the 4 pages and take photos of my DL and enter my Cc info. Also, there was no mention in the lobby of the rich dog sled history that brought me to the hotel. Finally, I requested clean towels one evening and it took over a hour to get them delivered and 2 phone calls to get them done. All and all, average is all I can say. It was the least impressive of the 5 hotels I stayed in during this trip.

We asked for an early check in and were charged an extra $50 even though our room was in a floor where the halls were undergoing repainting with the expected smells. When my husband tried to take a shower the shower knob wouldn’t pull up do he ended up taking a sponge bath until I could go downstairs to request maintenance as the hotel phone was constantly busy. I also noticed two pending charges for $100 on my visa not one fortunately both were reversed after checkout. The only redeeming feature was the excellent pub on the ground floor.

Chris at the front desk was great and at the Flying machine our hostess Rita was wonderful . The problem I had was since I went through Expedia to make reservations we had a set price per night and we decided one more night and the manager at the front desk would not give us the same price, so I called Expedia and they would not either so I had to pay also double for one night .

The lodge was very convenient to airport. The lobby is dated but clean, the staff courteous and friendly. 4th floor hallway being renovated was visually nasty and we should have been told ahead of time, BUT our room was very clean and spacious, bed very comfortable and sheets crispy clean. Nice hot water for shower, and good complimentary breakfast buffet with friendly service.

We requested a room with a view. When we arrived, we were told there were none available. My wife has a problem walking due to a recent knee injury. We requested a quieter room because ours was noisy, it was right over the parking lot. The desk clerk gave us a room at the other end of the building. A long walk from the elevator.
