Beautiful view and private beach

The view of the glaciers and the Cook Inlet is spectacular. The room was nice, clean, and quiet. The trail down to the private beach is a nice walk to the water's edge.

Back to the 50s

Old hotel, motel from the 50s? Clean, quiet, extremely dated. Great location on the water. Maybe time for major remodel.

Kevin, 1-night trip

Greg, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beds good. Really could use a mirror in the room. Difficult for two people to get ready in the morning. Need More counter space in the room. Loved the deck and view. The sand cranes in the morning were a delight
Don, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The view is stunning. Ask for the ocean front building.
Joy, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed just one night but my partner and I really enjoyed the stay. Staff was really nice and we really appreciated being upgraded to a room closer to the beach view. The room was clean and cozy and the view from it was amazing. We only had a slight issue with not getting anything to play on the TV, seemed like a signal issue but nothing we stressed about. We look forward to staying here in the future.
Caitlan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location near the waterfront, easy to find and access. Disappointed that there are cheep blinds on the window that doesn’t block out the light when the summer daylight is an issue. Our room also needs a shower head.
