Windbreak Hotel

Windbreak Hotel

8/10 Good
"What was good about the property was the price for the night. There are no ice vending machines or refrigerator. Ice can be gotten in the lounge but there is no way to keep things refrigerated unless you bring a cooler. Room is clean.Bathroom has no venting for after showering. There is a heater with a fan in the bathroom that helps. For the price it is very reasonable lodging. Staff were very helpful in accomadating our needs."

"Our family of four stayed here as a middle stop between Seward and Denali, a good halfway point. Right off the main road, it is driving distance to restaurants. The rooms were standard (mirrors on both front and back walls which was unique) Continental breakfast was very basic and small. Parking easy. Staff really nice As a quick sleep spot, it served its purpose for us!"
