Not the Alaskan dream.

The location was ideal for getting places, though the room itself was very outdated and in need of work. Window was broken so couldn't leave open for fresh air. Not what we expected.

When I brought it to her attention she recharged the correct amount, but the "voided" amount is still pending on my credit card thus reducing my available credit.

Motel from the 50’s

It’s an old timer motel that you would find on a 4 lane highway from the 50s/60s. No A/C, no hair dryer, no coffee in the room but they did have hot water. You wouldn’t think you would need A/C in Alaska in August but you do need some circulation in the room. Alas, no ceiling fan either. When I looked at the hotel I actually did try to call another hotel for a room (and I have never done this!). The room was on the first floor by the road so we couldn’t leave the door open while we slept. I know that you get what you pay for but we paid over $300 a night to stay. TRUST ME… pay the $50 more a night and stay some place else.
The room was old but it was clean. This is the only reason why I gave it two stars instead of one.
Meh.

Pros: fast hot water…. Showers were good. Beds were pretty comfortable with memory foam mattress toppers. Semi-stocked kitchenette was convenient for early breakfasts and snacks. New Smart TV. Smelled very clean when we arrived.
Cons: WiFi was very slow. The fridge in our kitchenette- the freezer acted as a fridge and the fridge didn’t keep things cold (yes, we checked the temperature dials in both). There was a thermostat on the wall, but it didn’t appear to be connected to anything. The room got stuffy during the day and because there was no fan or AC we had to open the windows- which was fine- but there wasn’t a screen and it made for noisy (and sunny) evenings which made it hard to sleep while adjusting to the time difference. Pillows were underwhelming.
Pretty sure this room (106) wasn’t originally built to be a hotel room- top half of the door is glass (with a window shade that doesn’t completely cover the glass) It’s a little cramped: no room for a small table and nowhere else to sit but the beds. Little things like a visible missing outlet cover, missing knob off drawers, a previously installed tv mount still on the wall but not in use, and a smashed lamp shade cover made it feel run-down.
I’d stay here again if I HAD to, but I’d look elsewhere first.
Okay in a pinch

Liked that there was a sink outside of the shower since we had 4 people in the room. Great hairdryer. Very mushy mattress, did not bother me but could for someone who prefers a medium-hard mattress.
