Rooms are super clean with very comfortable beds. The service was awesome; they even mailed me back my bluetooth earbuds that I left in the room when I checked out. The location is perfect for easy access to Seney refuge and other sites. I will definitely be staying here again!
Like so many in the U.P. it's an older motel that's been cleaned up and made comfortable. Mark and his wife have done a good job making it a welcoming place to stop for the night and get a good nights sleep. Excellent value. Will be back.
Our first time staying at the motel, and our second time renting snowmobiles from them. Both times the host, Marc, was great. Very hospitable, knowledgeable, and willing to help. He gave us pointers about snowmobiling options and maps. Very well stocked with different sleds, helmets and other accessories. Hotel rooms were clean, comfy and well stocked for a comfortable stay. Right across the street is a gas station, restaurant, and its on the trails for snowmobiling. Highly recommend !!
Just a couple Alaskan bikers looking for a place to stay for the night. Motel was clean, reasonable, had a small coffee pot, and a great location. Highly recommend for a great night sleep.
Great little Mom & Pop motel in Seney. We stayed for a few nights while snowmobiling in the area. The owners were friendly, the room was updated and clean, and there was plenty of space for parking our trailer.
Great experience here! Marc went above and beyond, letting us check in very early so we could get some rest after a sleepless night. Room was clean and cozy. Walls are indeed thin, but not too terrible. There was no soap anywhere, nor toilet paper, but we had our own so it was fine. Recommended for the price we paid!
Great friendly owners. They also rent side by sides, four wheelers, snowmobiles. Every year we rent a side by side and have never had an issue or break down. Rooms are always clean and stocked. Fantastic place to stay.
We stayed with our dog this past weekend. Very impressed with the service, rooms are very clean & spacious with that up north feel! Great location to travel around the area, the kitchen is stocked too if you choose to cook. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you
