“The views are a definite draw, but manage your expectations regarding maintenance; some areas could use refreshing. Friendly staff can make a difference, though, and a portable fan is essential for room comfort. It's a place with potential, offering glimpses of Alaskan beauty alongside some operational hiccups.”
