"Nice location. The room, snacks, and breakfast food were good. I recommend this hotel.2021-04-18"
"Close to the hospital. The rates were high even though many amenities weren't available because of the virus. The light switches, door handles, microwave and fridge controls, and surfaces weren't clean. Housekeeping didn't clean the room during our stay, which was fine, but we ran out of shampoo. The staff was pleasant but not helpful, and the sack breakfast was sub-par. Don't stay here during hte pandemic.2020-06-13"
"I arrived just 2 days after the earthquake, but everything was in full swing. The room was nicer than I expected, and the staff was upbeat. If you're going to the Alaska Native Medical Clinic or any of the Earby medical facilities, this hotel is quite convenient, but even more, it's guest-oriented. The shuttle drivers were professional yet cordial. I'll likely stay here again.2018-12-08"
"Convenient to the rail depot, and a decent walk to downtown for dining, shopping, and entertainment. The hotel room was clean and quite spacious. Our room keys were deactivated every day, which required a trip to the front desk to have them re-set. The front desk staff wasn't welcoming and answered questions curtly. Still, I recommend staying here.2021-08-04"
"The room was well-maintained, the hotel staff was extremely welcoming, and the complimentary breakfast was amazing.2019-05-26"
"Near the train station, and close to downtown but away from the traffic. The hotel had a wonderful view of the river. Surprisingly large, clean room, and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was wonderful. This will be our go-to hotel when we're in town.2016-01-19"
"This was the worst motel ever. Don't stay here.2020-08-21"
"The room was comfortable, and the motel staff was friendly.2017-07-30"
"We weren't impressed with this older motel. Our room was clean and remodeled, but nothing special. The employees were pleasant and efficient. If you just need an affordable place to sleep, this will suffice.2017-07-29"

"Not much within walking distance except Roscoe's Restaurant. The hotel was old but clean and well-kept, and the staff was helpful. Breakfast was minimal but adequate.2018-07-27"
"Nice place. All the hotel employees I interacted with were helpful and gracious. Breakfast was complimentary, had many options, and the omelets were exceptional.2023-02-10"
"I did not enjoy my stay at this hotel, and it was the small things that bothered me. There was no creamer for my coffee, no cover for the ironing board, and no bar soap provided. The room was freezing when I arrived, and the heater smelled bad when I turned it on. I ended up turning it off and wearing a sweater to bed. The coffee stand was unreasonably slow, and the breakfast potatoes were french fries. The only good things were the free WiFi and baggage hold after checkout. Stay somewhere else.2018-10-12"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
