The room was quite warm when I arrived. Someone knocked on my door at 11pm after I had been asleep for a couple of hours, and upon hearing male voices, I, being a lone female, decided against opening the door, and was a bit concerned about their intensions and the fact that there was just a doorknob lock and nothing more to protect me, so I didn’t sleep much after that!

Cabin and stunning views

this was an amazing place to stay facing the turnagain arm. Was a great place to rest after a day of adventuring and exploring. There’s even a bar and restaurant downstairs to get food as well.

This little biker bar was just as advertised- no frills and efficient. A small room, it was all we needed as we toured around to Whittier, Girdwood and up into Anchorage for a few days. A classic and friendly roadhouse tavern below offered good eats and drinks in an unassuming setting. It won’t be for everyone, but if you know what to expect, it’s a good place for the price.

Tiny room with very basic stuff for only sleep.

If you don't consider the price, this place gets 2/10. The room is very small. Other than a very small bed, you don't have anything. No chair to sit on, to desk/table, no hair dryer, TV, iron, or even room cleaning. I didn't even get a new coffee pods, paper cup... During the 3 days stay. I had only for the first day. I mainly used the place to go to bed and leave in the morning. If you consider the fact that the price is lower for the area, you can give a bit higher score (4-5). The location is OK. But even for buying a coffee or breakfast you have to drive 15 miles. I probably won't book this place again.

Nice little cabin in a less populated area outside of Anchorage. Very rustic little cabin that checks off the bare necessities. Provides what I would see as a very Alaskan experience. I would definitely stay there again.
