The comfortable bed and nice linens were by far the very best qualities of this hotel. The room I stayed in was over the main entry door to the restaurant so it was quite noisy. The walls are tissue thin and I am thankful I had ear plugs - though the people in the next room came in late and carried on conversations that sounded like they were right in bed with me. There was no telephone and no television. Fortunately there was free wireless Internet, so I watched television via Hulu and I think all of the other travelers were insanely jealous thinking I got TV and they didn't. No bath tub - shower only. The heater was on "extreme" and could only be controlled by opening the window - magnifying the noise issue from below. I was disappointed that the cost was so high for this location offering so few amenities. The restaurant was also, in my opinion, overpriced. I ordered a bowl of chili that I am pretty sure contained only 3 ingredients - canned pork & beans, salsa and a bit of ground meat. It would have been completely tasteless without the addition of cheese and onions that were an additional cost.

You don't get any amenities to speak of for $90 but it was the least expensive place we could find along this highway driving from Fairbanks to Palmer. It served our basic need of a place to sleep and shower. Older building that's not all that nice to look at but we got a fair night's rest. Room has bed, table and bath with sink, toilet & shower stall. No view to speak of. Didn't eat breakfast in the restaurant which is more like a coffee shop and relatively high priced. We had our own food and ate in our room or on the outside patio tables since there weren't alot of flying bugs at that time of early September. Willy the owner was good about answering our questions by email.

Wiley, the new manager, greeted us with a warm smile.
He has made improvements in, food, waitress service, and the room cleanliness. All 13 rooms were full on August 7th.
More RV parking spots were being added to the back of the lodge; $20 a night. The breakfast was very good.
A State of Alaska highway crew was staying at the lodge for a few weeks. If you have questions, just give Wiley a call: [--].

I felt sorry for the owner of this place. She acknowledged as we checked in that there were problems. She had just bought it in April. Bless her heart she got ripped off. Awful, the only reason we stayed was because, in Alaska you can go a long way and not see anything else. We were unfamiliar with the territory and weren't certain how long it would take to find something else any better. I saw some really scary motels, cabins, lodges on the roadways of Alaska. Even if you check a website, you don't always get what you see. I would advise getting recommendations from friends or reviews such as Trip Advisor.
There was no review available which I looked, a problem I hope to remedy in this situation. I wish them luck and hope they can make the many improvements needed to bring them up normal standards of repair and cleanliness.
