“For budget-conscious travelers who do not mind sacrificing some amenities, the hotel provides an affordable option roughly 20 minutes from Anchorage; friendly staff and a daily continental breakfast are included. However, the property shows its age, and some rooms may require maintenance, so inspect the room before settling in. If basic and cheap is your priority, then you will be happy here.”
