Great option in remote Alaska

Nice comfortable accommodation in remote part of the country. It definitely is the best option around that I am aware of. The food and bar options were quite good as well. I sure wish they would include refrigerators as we were on a 3 week road trip with items that needed refrigeration ( for my husband’s diet). They did have a free ice machine that certainly helped out.
