The hotel is historic property and guests should be prepared for the limitations that entails including no electrical outlets in the rooms and bathrooms down the hall. It is, however, comfortable, friendly, cozy, and altogether delightful.

Staff was wonderful. Rooms were clean but small. Even shard bath was not an issue. Our roomed sink, not all of them do. There are no electrical outlets in any of the rooms. Plenty of outlets in the lobby for charging electronics.

This a pleasantly quiet place to stay in McCarthy, and a nice reward after the difficult journey getting here. There are no televisions or other distracting electronic noise to detract from the "off the grid" feel of this place. The decor of this hotel perfectly reflects its early 20th century Alaskan mining town heritage. The staff were charming and engaging, and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. 5 stars out of 5!
