Had a very good night's rest. The bed I was on was great and had just enough covers and the pillows have been upgraded. They're done with the kitchen remodel and it's back up and running! The food is not bad either
You're not gonna get a 5* room at the most remote norther point in the US, but their breakfast at the diner was surprisingly PHENOMENAL
Rooms were a little small, the room had a nice tower fan that was perfect for night time. Overall quiet, awesome customer service. My Son ordered reindeer sausage and a jaritos, delicious.
Stayed in early September. Hotel was great, staff was kind, facility was good. Most of the place were within walking distance which was pretty good. Bed were clean, pillows nice, and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. It was great, would go again.
Stayed here for half of my work trip. The room was clean, warm, and comfortable. One of the nicest hotel beds I've had in a while, I slept well.
