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

The property was adorable! The cottages were clean and quaint. All the extra necessities were available in the room - microwave, fridge, coffee maker. We enjoyed walking along the path by the river. The pathways lined by hedges reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. The cottages each had their own beautiful hanging baskets as well as the main lodge. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was amazing and so delicious! We will definitely return again.

Good other than breakfast

It's a nice place but if you want breakfast, it costs $21.95 per person and it was about equal to what we usually get for free at other hotels.

The cabins were unique instead of a standard hotel. I called for a shuttle from the airport, and I waited for 30 min. (location is 15 min away) I called again and got front desk voicemail. Left VM. Called again 20 min later and asked if the shuttle was on their way. (By this time it was a 50 minute wait. I could have walked there by then.) They apologized and said to take a taxi and they would pay the taxi upon arrival. They did. Gave me a coupon for a complimentary breakfast.
