"Over all the hotel was fine, the staff was friendly. Only hitch was we arrived at the airport at 1am. The hotel provides "a 24 free airport shuttle". With that said we could not get through as the number was answered by an "AI" answering machine and we were not able to contact the shuttle and hired a taxi instead. The hotel is also very close to the Alaskan railroad hub so you will hear train horns day and night. The price was right and it served as a great step over hotel for the start of our Alaska adventure!"
