The rooms were superb. Very nice place. Recommendation: have people remove their shoes in their rooms. It would help keep the floors nicer longer and it would be quieter for those in the floors below. We will definitely stay with you all again.

The room had a lot of useful amenities, full fridge and microwave. Room was clean, super easy to check in and the staff was friendly. Only complaint would be that being on the first floor, you could hear every step that was taken in the upstairs room.

Beautiful location and newly built

The property was clean, and the location was great. We enjoyed the view and sitting in the fresh air, chatting with friends. Our complaint is that there is no service. No one mans the desk, and the housekeepers who were on site did not speak English. I had requested several things for the room, and was told by housekeeping, "ok", but none of it was delivered. I also let them know the two chairs in the room were dangerously wobbly, but nothing was done about it. If you have no needs, the accommodation is fine, but it's not a hotel, it's a self-check lodge.

Fantastic location. Close to Exit Glacier, close to Seward. This is a ‘contactless’ check-in. We never met with staff etc. It was more of an Airbnb experience and was just lovely.

Room is very clean with full kitchen. There was no coffee, but the office was still open and supplied the coffee. Later, we discovered there was no remote control for the TV but the staff delivered that. It is a fairly new property without a lot of frills. Clean modern and spartan. Only one bedside table, no tissues.

The property was very clean and nice! Getting access through the self-check-in process was easy. What I didn't like was that we only had cold water for the shower and we were not able to get TV. I suspect that it was because it was all new.

The site is still under construction and doesn’t seem ready for hosting guests. The bathrooms don’t have any bodywash or shampoo and there’s no shelf or shower caddy as well. There’s no air conditioning in the rooms as yet not even fans and it became super warm at night (June 2025). The kitchen faucet doesn’t have warm water and the expectation is to clean all dishes otherwise there’ll be $50 fine. TV is not smart tv and no way to connect your phone.

This place is amazing! The room was clean, the bed comfortable, plenty of space with a little kitchenette. My only complaint is you can’t adjust the temperature of the room. Which would be ok if there was at least a fan to turn on when it got too hot. Also not an issue just FYI the drive is gravel and rough. Check in was super easy. They send you a text with the room # and door code (love that). Overall I’d definitely recommend staying here.

Property is nice and modern. We never saw any staff but the cleaning staff at the office in the morning. We checked in using a door code. I would suggest to have some paper towel in the kitchen and strengthen the wifi just a little. Price is also a little high but we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place. Clean and simple bed sets with fluffy pillow and blankets, and soft beds. Modern kitchen appliance. Nice sitting area by the window. And a clean and spacious bathroom. It is summer time here. We got too hot in the room and there was no fan or air conditioning. We ended up opening up the windows early in the morning. But it was still a wonderful place to stay at. Easy check in system that we didn’t need to talk to anybody. I could use my phone to unlock or it gave us a code to type in on the digital lock. People staying there were respectful. It was quiet through the night.
