A good overall stay. This is classed as a motel but you cannot get you car to the door of the room. However this is a popular motel with business travellers which is a good sign. I arrived at 1pm out of main season and got the last of 50 rooms. Its attractions are that it is only 12 miles... more

All I can say if you visit the lounge at the Totem Inn is to watch your husbands. It must be the lack of men in Alaska. The regulars are always drunk and the bartenders are ready to snatch whatever comes in the door. This was not a very nice place to vacation. The service was way too slow in... more

Totem Inn is conviniently located 10 miles north of Denali national park. The Inn is ok and the rooms were clean. However the staff were downright rude. The lady was totally uninterested during the check in process. We actually checked in at around 5 PM in the eveing and not at some un-godly hour. The whole time she hardly uttered... more

All in all my stay at Totem Inn was very disappointing. We were checked in by a young Native American boy who was not interested in uttering any words. He did not even greet us or told us in which direction to go to our room. The only few words he did say were "Credit card?". I travel around a... more

While staying in Healy, Alaska, we ate twice at the Totem Inn. For summer 2005, the Inn has hired a very personable young man who goes out of his way to please customers. The menu is extensive and varied, considering the restaurant must drive TWO HOURS to Fairbanks for their food supplies. The Totem does an excellent job with breakfasts... more

My stay at the Totem Inn was pleasant. It was what I expected for the price I paid. A nice room, a good meal in the cafe. But the bar was excellant! There was a great band and a friendly bartender who gave me real advice about where to go in the area. She even drew me a map to... more

I was visiting Denali National Park, and I stayed two nights at the Totem Inn. I found the cafe service to be slow, the food to be too greasy and unappealing, and the rooms to be uncomfortable. They had live music in the bar that was too loud, and the people in there were too drunk. The staff seemed generally... more
