The room we received was very small, with a stained bedsheet and comforter, and the coffee machine still had a used pod inside—a clear sign of poor upkeep. We managed for one night, but we wouldn’t recommend it for a longer stay.

Super accommodating staff
staff (Jackie) was willing to change my room to make it easier to get to, no stairs cause I'm an older lady. Very pleasant about making changes for me. I loved that! This is very convenient for my travels in Alaska and convenient to the airport.

The room was not clean, and the bedsheets seem not to have been changed. There was a great deal of body hair in them. Gross! The toilet seat was not attached to the toilet and it fell off repeatedly. The room did not appear to have been vacuumed in a while.

Such a quaint little property. Gives a bit of a retro vibe in a good way. It's very affordable, coffee, hairdryer, breakfast and recently updated. If your not a 90210 pampered housewife and you want a clean,safe, friendly atmosphere then this is a good choice. We booked at Expedia 74.00 1st night and 89.00 the following night. The heat was out in our room but the front desk gave us a space heater and it ran us out of our room it worked so well. Worth not paying 300 to 400 a night.
