The Valentines were welcoming and friendly. Our suite was vary spacious,clen and quiet. The breakfasts here were absolutely wonderful and much fancier than we expected.

We stayed for nights at Camai B&B during the 1st week of March and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are nice and clean and Caroline had nice breakfasts for us on both of the days. One can also get a beautiful view of the backyard (and might also sight moose during the winter months) from the breakfast table. The B&B is located in a residential neighborhood and is easily accessible from the rest of the city. Finally, the B&B was definitely cheaper when compared to renting hotels of similar quality in the city. I will surely return to stay at Camai B&B if I am again visiting Anchorage in future.

When I travel, I usualy prefer to stay at a Bed and Breakfast. Camai is one of the best I have ever stayed at. The rooms are wonderful and the rates are great. Caroline and Craig are very accomodating. For example, on my last visit I got in late at night and there were fresh cookies waiting for me. The breakfasts were absolutely wonderful. It really felt like home away from home.

In planning our two week trip to Alaska we knew we needed to rest on arrival from our trip from Boston. We wanted to get our legs moving with some hiking, and then acquaint ourselves culturally with Alaska. We're quiet folks, and it seemed that the Camai would suit us. We were rewarded handsomely.

The Camai is in a tucked away residential area, and while the written directions are accurate, another reviewer's advice to visit Mapquest/Google Map etc. is well taken. We stayed in the Fireweed Suite, a renovated basement space that had all the room two over-packing hikers needed to spread out and not feel crushed. The cool nights kept the room at a nice temp during a hot spell (80+F) days . Our sleep was deep and restorative.

Caroline and Craig Valentine are not professional hoteliers, but are genuine, intelligent folks who provide a warm welcome and a fine breakfast. Speaking of which, the three we had were delicious and well prepared. We always left the table ready for the day, not needing another bite until well into the afternoon. Deserving special mention is one morning's buttermilk-oat pancakes with birch syrup.

Adding to the the overall comfort is the garden that Craig and Caroline have out back. It's a nice place to become acquainted with Alaska's summer abundance and how locals appreciate that brief season.

Do you need a place to recover and recuperate from a long journey from the lower 48 to Alaska's beauty? My wife and I heartily recommend the Camai B&B. With some good luck that won't be long.
