A fun little motel with a great view of the mountains! It was a warm night and we couldn’t figure out how to turn off the base board heating so we opened the window. Room was clean and had a retro feel to it. We also liked the big eagle statue in the middle of the property!
This reasonable priced motel is a great choice if you’re spending a few days pre-cruise. It is just down the road from Anchorage off by itself near great hiking and convenient to the glaciers. The exterior is a bit dated, but our room had been nicely updated with all the standard expectations along with some charming touches. It is a virtual check in; however, the host was very responsive to email or text which made it super easy. Would definitely stay here again.
It is next to the highway so very convenient to drive to view points on the way to Seward. I stay for one night after long drive. I found it is actually a great stop to continue the next day trip to either Whittier or Seward. This part of Hwy is very scenic.
I recently stayed at this motel about 30 minutes from Anchorage, and it was a good experience. The location is safe, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. I loved being able to walk right from the motel to some stunning scenic trails—perfect for a morning hike or evening stroll.
Veronica updated us with all the details we needed on the day of check-in, making the process smooth and stress-free. The self check-in was convenient and easy to use.

Disliked: Amenities
Check in was smooth and simple. There was no AC only a loud fan to circulate air in the room. We thought it was overpriced for the location. Someone else booked it for us, but we should have looked ourselves. We would have found nicer places for less expense.
