It's a quiet affordable place to stay that's got beautiful views of the water and mountains. Only a short drive to Anchorage when you want or need to go to town.

The room was simple but very clean. It was in a remote area so wouldn’t want to stay more than one night, but it served its purpose to get us out of Anchorage on our way to Seward.

A fun little motel with a great view of the mountains! It was a warm night and we couldn’t figure out how to turn off the base board heating so we opened the window. Room was clean and had a retro feel to it. We also liked the big eagle statue in the middle of the property!

This reasonable priced motel is a great choice if you’re spending a few days pre-cruise. It is just down the road from Anchorage off by itself near great hiking and convenient to the glaciers. The exterior is a bit dated, but our room had been nicely updated with all the standard expectations along with some charming touches. It is a virtual check in; however, the host was very responsive to email or text which made it super easy. Would definitely stay here again.
