Didn’t look like much, but the owners take great care of the property. Room, bed, kitchen were wonderful. Only room for improvement- coffee pot is great but coffee isn’t good. This is very minor given how great place is.

Great value. It was much cheaper than the hotels in Anchorage. Although basic, it was clean and we'll run.

Old school motel room, very clean and well kept. Staff was friendly and helpful. Comfortable but not flashy. The place is remarkably quiet and the location is central to activities in the area.

Palmer pet friendly staycation with Bansky

Great place to stay for Bansky’s visit to the Vet Specialist! Super easy check-in! Very cozy, clean and comfortable room with everything we needed. Thanks for having a pet friendly place! Great to be close to stores and restaurants. The Mountain Views are spectacular! We stopped by the local museum and the statue of the famous sled dog Balto who helped to run the diphtheria serum to Nome along with Togo.

Excellent customer service. She helped me change my reservation 3 times as my plans abruptly changed. This is a nice Motel, it was clean and warm. Like most motels the buildings were cheaply made. But is is comfortable and convenient. I did not see anyone my reservation and door keys were saved for me in an envelope.
