It doesn't look like much, but the rooms were clean, and refurbished. The beds were pretty hard, but I don't mind a firm bed. The staff was very friendly and even gave us some garbage bags to cover a piece of luggage we had on top of a vehicle to protect it from the rain. They a nice refrigerator to put your fish in too. Would stay here again.

For an outdated building, it was very clean, staff was very nice, and I would stay there again. My only hope would be they consider updating at least the mattresses and pillows; they were super uncomfortable. Otherwise a great stay!

Just what I needed
A perfectly fine place to stay at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly. Not a resort destination, but a welcome sight after dipnetting on the Kenai. I'd certainly stay there again!

This is a refurbished older hotel. It's a good place to stay for fishermen. They have freezer space for rent for one's catch. The room was comfortable. The refrigerator had a shelf for a freezer, like many hotels, and it was able to freeze our blue ice. There was coffee (but no decaf) tea, and grab and go items for breakfast; nothing special, but we still were glad to have it.
