Luxurious linens and towels compared to all our previous stays in the last 5 weeks. High end snack and breakfast items all included for you to choose from. Sooo quiet from all previous stays in Alaska. We felt like queens. Beautiful artwork. Can't say enough nice things.

Very comfortable… the only thing I noticed both times I’ve stayed there, is that there’s very little hot water or none… I think they need bigger water heater to accommodate everyone…otherwise, very nice and comfy 😊

We loved this inn! It was quaint and cute with beautiful views of the town and Mt. Aleyska. The room was small and had a shared bathroom, but everything were very clean and cozy. There was also a sweet little kitchen area next to the lobby that was fully stocked with snacks and breakfast items. I would highly recommend this inn!
