Stay here! Very friendly and accommodating!

Airport shuttle to hotel was easy. They even shuttled us to Princess lodge next morning no charges. Rooms: quaint individual cottages, very clean and comfortable. We were happier here than at Fairbanks Princess Lodge! Breakfast buffet was good. Don't miss Museum of North, Soapy Smith Pioneer Restaurant downtown (owner is long time Alaskan and shares a wealth of info + good food, Pioneer Park for Salmon Bake and don't miss the Golden Heart Revue at the Palace Theatre
