This is the most perfect place to stay for a quick night's sleep before heading to Homer. Beds are comfortable and I especially enjoyed drinking coffee out of a ceramic mug. Repeat traveler that appreciates the cost of a good night's rest.
Reasonable price, located mid way b/w Anchorage and Girdwood. We stayed two night total with different reservations since we enjoyed our first stay. Budget friendly and great views.
First impression upon pulling into the parking lot was, “Oh no, what have we got ourselves into”. However, rooms were great; clean and cozy! Would definitely stay again! Highly recommended
I stayed 2 nights and enjoyed my stay. I’d stay here again. It is a great value in a beautiful location. The virtual front desk was a new concept for me but worked out perfectly for my very late arrival.
Don’t let the “Bates Motel” vibe scare you off. Rooms are clean with everything you need, including ice. Quiet, comfortable beds, clean rooms and the price is incredible for the location. Stayed here 3 times now !
A nice place, sits right across the Seward Highway from the Turnagain Arm. Room well-appointed; shower in bathroom is semi-circular cubicle. Staff friendly and helpful.

very low budget motel. It's tough to check in from off site
Really enjoyed the stay…much quieter than Anchorage. Great value! Super hosts.
The room was simple, clean, good furnishings. For the value…can’t go wrong.
Motel is conveniently located on the Anchorage Seward highway. Nice view from the room. Rooms are spacious and property is well maintained and clean. Easy self check-in and checkout.

Enjoyed staying here. Will definitely stay here again.
Typical older motel. It was clean and had what i needed to spend a night. For the price, it was a good stay. Very close to Gridwood so we went there to eat.
This is an excellent little Motel. They communicate through text message but answer quickly. It was clean and well taken care of. Would have no hesitation to stay here again. Great little spot that was more reasonable than Anchorage or Girdwood.
