Room was okay. Nothing special, nothing awful. The location might be fine when the weather's better, but during the winter, being down at the bottom of a hill wasn't so fun with the snow-packed roads. I never got stuck, but it was a near thing. And the internet was bad, not at all reliable.

I came in on a late flight and was given an unbearably smelly room, room 106. Couldn't sleep and requested a room change at 3am. I moved across the hall and slept a few hours. Next morning I discovered that my coat, car keys and cell phone were gone, stolen from the first room while I slept. I had to... More

I would hate for a first timer to stay here and have a bad FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE. People sneak their dogs in the rooms, dog hair was all over the top bed covers, sink was clogged, black mold was present in the restroom, in its beginning stages ( not to serious but enough to make it feel cheap, and uncomfortable)...

the hotel is on a salmon fishing creek, next to the train to port, next to the wild ride sled dog rodeo and the lobby has great lodge decor. Cookies and milk too! the staff was very helpful.

In the entrance there is a big bear in a glass case which gives the real feel of being in Alaska. If you are a light sleeper don't stay here because its next to the railstation. I stopped after a 1200Km bike ride so had no trouble sleeping. I shared a room , a king bed each, and we could... More

I like the location close to trains and right on a bike path with Ship's Creek racing along just outside. The rooms were as promised and were in reasonable condition (except for the one nearest the front desk that had clearly been smoked in - in a smoke free property) Breakfast - not stellar but adequate appeared as promised. the...

We needed a hotel close to the railroad, and this is certainly the best choice as you don't need a shuttle -- it is easy block or so walk to the railroad depot from the hotel (shorter distance than when we slogged our luggage in the airport to the check in desk!!!! - much shorter). We booked this because it... More

Hotel itself was satisfactory, but was awoke very night with loud train horns starting very early in the morning. Rooms were hot & stuffy. Aircon noisy. Ok for insomaniacs but not me.

My elderly parents and I stayed in this hotel for one night in between the Fairbanks-Anchorage and Anchorage-Seward trips on the Alaska Railroad. Its greatest advantage is its proximity to the Alaska Railroad. While a shuttle is available to meet railroad passengers--a service that was very timely and convenient in our case--the property is also so close to the train... More
