Will look for another lodging facility next time.
Pros:

It was available when I needed it.

Cons:

This was a non-smoking room. It was obvious it had been smoked in and the cleaning staff attempted (unsuccessfully) to cover up the smell with PineSol. There was no ventilation in the room. At our request, the owner/operator provided a box fan for the single window.

over all good 1 night stay, comfy and quiet room, just lots of stairs to my room
Pros:

host was nice, check in was quick and seamless, room was quiet and clean with all needed amenities, environment was quiet, surrounding seemed safe

Cons:

to get to my room there were a good 50 steep steps, yes 50. to carry luggage and myself it was a workout. So for people with problems in navigating stairs, this room may not be good. i am sure they may have room which may not require that many stairs. I booked very last minute.

Propre, mais besoin de renouveler le lit et la cuisinette
Pros:

La propreté du lieu, la grandeur très appréciée, le petit patio, la cuisinette...

Cons:

Le lit beaucoup trop mou, nous n'avons pas pu utilisé la cuisinette elle manquait trop de tout ce qu'on a besoin pour cuisiner, même un spaghetti...

Not good.
Cons:

Facility did not look like anything I've ever stayed at. Check in was a bit odd as we felt like we were in someone's kitchen vs. an Inn with a lobby and front-end desk. Then there was no room at the Inn and since I was dropped off via Taxi, they brought to a "sister property" no where near the Inn itself (no advertising that I saw, no front desk, just a building with rooms). We were transported to this other property in someone's personal car which resembled a rolling dumpster (loaded with trash and with seats that were littered with unknown materials). Upon arrival to this "other" property, it had no AC and was hot. The whole experience was a tragedy. After two weeks traversing across Alaska and this being our last day, we simply could not end our trip with this way. We ended up leaving the property within 15 minutes of our arrival and found something more suiting.

Pros:

Had a kitchenette

Cons:

No ac. Had to sleep with windows open, very noisy. Balcony was too small for two people to sit comfortably. Had to book in at one location and the room was at another location at least two blocks away.

Overall, great stay, the bed felt like it was broken in the middle because of how much we sank but it was fine for the w
Pros:

Good location from what we could tell, nice staff, and we loved the breakfast!

Cons:

We didn’t realize we would be at another building down the road, so we had to drive to the main building every time to get breakfast. Not a huge deal though!
