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.

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 !

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.
