8.8/10 Excellent! (1,007 reviews)
The room was great and everything friendly staff and super easy check in. But I booked this hotel specifically because they offered an airport shuttle service. I tried to book one when I landed and when I needed a ride back to the airport the next day but it was unsuccessful. No one picked up the phone which was disappointing. Not too sure if I’ll stay here again

Popular places to visit

This is one of my favorite places to take kids, family, and friends when they come for a visit. It is a truly "Alaska" experience to be able to wander among and feed the Reindeer here. And the scenery on the way can't be beat! Landscape wise, Pioneer Peak is the star of the show on this trip along the Old Glenn Highway & Bodenburg Loop Road.
