Did not know what to expect being from lower 48 - texas to be exact. Staff was great especially with information regarding tours / safety etc. Daniel from the top of the world tours is great and we enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night! The motel was equated to a motel 6 - clean / tidy. No problem with "missing items" and we left ...

Dream Spot
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/24/08
This place is a dream spot when it comes to taking some time off. nice views and so cold you will freeze solid trying to get a newspaper.
"A Yahoo Contributer" Hmmmm? Same person? I have personally never been, but my Dad worked up there on the Slope for over 20 years. He stayed there many a time and never had an issue. I think it is curious all of the negative statements come from somebody who's name doesn't appear. Just a thought. I entered Average as my ratings to be fair since I have never been. Just felt the need to comment.

Excellent Tour and Services
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/28/06
Very humorous tour guide, clean lobby area, excellant gift shop, excellent view of the Arctic Ocean, very nice and helpful staff.
Would recommend this place to anyone who just wants to get away from it all.
After reading the reviews, I too was nervous. But I had no reason to be. The staff was courteous and let me check in early. The lobby was tidy and there was a computer with Internet provided for public use in the lobby. What I liked best about this hotel is that my room looked out over the Arctic Ocean. I think it is the only hotel in town ...
I had an uneasy feeling as we got closer to our Alaska Airlines vacation to Barrow based on some of the reviews here. After the trip, I wonder if I stayed at the same place that got only 1 star from some travelers. I would rate the hotel as equivalent to a Motel 6 or Red Roof Inn in the lower 48. The front desk was staffed with attentive and ...
The hotel was just fine -- clean, everything worked properly. Able to store bag in locked closet while out on tour. The guided tour around Barrow was most interesting and I would do it again. Next door to the hotel is Pepe's, evidently the northernmost Mexican restaurant in the world, with very good American breakfasts and thoroughly respectable Mexican food. It's highly decorated and is unique.

Don't even consider it.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/05/05
1. Urine smell in halls. 2. Cigarette stench in "non-smoking" rooms 3. Apathetic staff who don't want to be bothered with simple requests or queries. 4. Your property will disappear, never to be seen again, if you leave it unattended in your room.
