This is an older hotel but appears to be in good shape. Personally, I liked the older feel this place had. It was very clean. The staff was great. The shower in my room wasn’t working great, so they moved me to another without hesitation. There is a restaurant and bar attached. The prices are a little high, but the portions were good, and I would expect high prices in a tourist town, especially one in Alaska.
