I took my parents to 'The Flying Machine' restaurant for breakfast. The hotel with the restaurant is very well appointed with a great Alaska theme. Clean, easy to get to, and an elegant place for breakfast before my flight. The buffet was good but minimal. Eggs, meats, french toastz oatmeal, and fruit. There was plenty of beverage options. Our host was bubbly and attentive. My mom said to me as we were driving away to catch my flight, "this was a perfect way to end our time together". Thank you for this wonderful experience.

I was nervous with all the bad reviews. Checkin was extremely easy and quick very friendly. Hotel is older but have stayed in much worse. Price during the off season was reasonable. I checked prices during busy season in July and was almost $500 a night definitely wouldn't stay anywhere especially here for $500 a night absolutely insane. Although when people are willing to pay that price get your money.

We had a very good stay overall and were especially impressed with the value. The hotel was extremely cost-effective—almost to the point where I was initially cautious—but to my surprise, it exceeded expectations. The lobby is beautiful, and the hotel offers two restaurants. We enjoyed breakfast one morning, and it was very good. The staff throughout our stay were wonderful—very kind and welcoming. Our room was spacious and clean. One thing that did surprise us was the lack of a microwave or refrigerator in the room, which would have been helpful during a longer stay. On Saturday night, we went down to the second restaurant for a beverage and some food and were surprised to learn it closed before 8:00 p.m. That was a bit disappointing, especially for a weekend evening. I did use the exercise room and was pleased with it. There were free weights, treadmills, and ellipticals. I used the treadmill, and it worked perfectly—no complaints about the fitness facility at all. We were pleasantly surprised the first morning when housekeeping cleaned our room very early—it was wonderful to return from breakfast to a clean room. However, housekeeping did not return again during our five-day stay. Overall, this is a great option for the price, with friendly staff, clean accommodations, and nice amenities. With a few small improvements, it could easily be an excellent stay.
