We stayed twice at this B+B - in the middle and in the end of our trip to Alaska. We had two different rooms which varied quite a lot in size. First the Russian Room which was actually in the basement with just a small window looking underneath the outside stairs, the second time in the Piano Room which was much nicer and comfortable. It had an independent entrance from the outside - the last night someone entered our room without knocking the door (though we were quite sure we had locked it) saying "oh sorry I thought my friend is staying here". Really strange. We did not complain to the guests but only because it was our last day in Alaska so we did not really bother.
Overall, I cannot be so enthousiastic about this B+B like other reviewers. It was clean, the breakfast was regular, but the atmosphere was kind of... how to put it... artificially friendly. Actually we felt much better and much more welcome in all the other B+Bs we visited in Alaska. I can recommend it but I guess there can be a better deal in town...

Of course we are disappointed with "not so enthusiastic..." feeling like their experience did not match the majority of our other guests. We were pleased that you rated us high in cleanliness and indicated that you would recommend our B&B.
Security is very important to us, so each room has a lock and each guest is given a key so no one could mistakenly walk in when the door is locked.
You complained about being in the basement with a little window. Our home sits on a hillside so we have one side as the first floor of the house with walk in entry. The small window in the Russian Room is normally a plus during the long summer days since most of our guests prefer to keep the room dark.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We know most of our guests will only visit Alaska one time so we want to make our part of your stay a positive memorable experience.
