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.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort

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.

The screen in the window was broken. Paper towels were shoved around the screen to hold it in place. The window was open and Flies were in the room, shower door stuck shut and I to really pull hard to open it. There was no air conditioning or fans. We didnt even stay the night.

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.

The area was peaceful and had beautiful views. The room had all the necessities - bed was ok, shower had hot water. The only complaint is that the other guests were so loud that we didn’t get much sleep. Their talking in other rooms and hallway, opening and closing doors, etc went right through the thin door and walls. If it wasn’t for this, I would stay again.

Minimalist room in an old rustic building that provided a clean comfortable place to stay for one night. Very quiet even with the saloon below. We had a delicious hamburger in the saloon. Laid back and friendly staff! Very good choice if you don’t need a tv and are looking for a reasonably priced place to sleep out of high priced Anchorage and Girdwood. We would stay there again!

Excellent value.

We had a nice little cabin all to ourselves. The lady at the Saloon, who seemed to often be running the place all by herself (waiting tables, cooking, taking care of payment, etc. always took time to take care of our concerns (get us supplies such as toilet paper, etc.). We were well taken care of, and it was a nice, quiet place. The food offered in the Saloon was good also. Add to this the fact that this was one of the least expensive options and it was a very good deal.
