I really thought this place would be pretty awesome: it’s a historic old hotel with a charismatic-looking 24-hour café, right in the heart of Palmer’s cute little downtown. I read somewhere that the rooms had recently been renovated, so I thought it would be great. And I’m not prissy at all, so “great” doesn’t have to be all that great, if you know what I mean.

So we headed upstairs to our room, and the entire hallway was strewn with furniture and construction equipment. Not cool. Note to the front desk staff: if you’re sending a guest to sleep in a work zone, it would be polite to let them know.

The room was cute enough, but the toilet was clogged with somebody’s massive stinky dump when we arrived. The bathroom walls were stained and filthy. The rest of the room was clean enough, but there was a loud dripping sound in the ceiling that persisted all night, presumably a byproduct of the construction on our floor. None of this was a dealbreaker—we flushed the muck down the toilet, avoided touching the bathroom walls, and always sleep like dead people anyway—but we definitely weren’t impressed. Especially since the hotel wasn't all that cheap, even by Alaskan standards.

My hunch is that the management of this hotel really isn’t all that great with the details. You could probably have a perfectly good experience here, but if I’m ever in the Palmer area again, I’ll try my luck somewhere else.

I stayed for a week while on business in town. The room was very small but clean if you don't count the mildew in the shower and the dried up remnants of something slipped on the side of the night stand. The heat in the room was turned all the way down but I had to leave the window open to get the room cool enough to be comfortable. The mattress was uncomfortable. This hotel is on the main drag so with the window open you hear constant traffic. One night there were drunks fighting right outside and the hotel would not usher them away. The walls are very thin, I could hear a man in the room next to mine snoring at night and there were kids upstairs partying and making noise around the clock. The tub faucet had a fast drip. The restaurant has okay food but poor service. Tiny fridge, no microwave, bathroom door doesn't shut all the way, only two towels, for $75 what can you really expect for Alaska. There isn't much alternative in Palmer, AK. I will not stay here again and would recommend that others not stay if they are trying to get a good night's rest.

Rooms are very small, but very clean. It's blowing 40-60 with gusts to 80 mph and we can't hear it, the rooms are warm and the nice thing is..there's a restaurant open 24 hours @ day 7 days per week downstairs, so we don't have to leave...(all the locals hang out at the little bar downstairs, it seems to be very popluar.)

My experience with this place is that the service was very good, the rooms were very small with exposed pipes in the room, no coffee maker or micro wave oven, tho they did have a small frig. Guess they are expecting you to go to the restaurant they have right there?
If you are planning to have a restful time here bag it..... the walls are paper thin I could hear the person in the next room hollering on the phone I had to turn the volume on the TV up! Then the next morning I got woke up a 4:45am to crashing & banging going on up above me (sounded like kids on a rampage) that carried on for an hour.
