We stayed at this motel for 1 night on our way from Valdez to Anchorage. We arrived late around 9 PM on a rainy day and the check-in was smooth. The room, bathroom, and the bed were clean. The room had a microwave, coffee maker, and a small sink. The parking was right in front of the room. Overall a great simple and basic stay.

When looking at the pictures of the pioneer motel it shows pictures of log cabins with beautiful views but instead you get crammed between gas stations and a heavily traveled street. First room they picked for us had a musty smell (it was a self check in). When I was able to get service they offered me a free upgrade to a larger room, we had just travelled 17 hours and were willing to accept anything at that time. After staying the 4 nights I was billed for, we checked out.

Check in was super quick and easy, plenty of room for parking, room was very clean, neat and tidy. We were very happy with this room and location. Would definately stay here again and would recommend this hotel.

I arrived after a long day of driving to a cookie at check in and the most comfortable bed and pillows! The room was incredibly clean, sheets smelled wonderful, and there was a perfect little kitchenette. The location is very convenient but there was some road noise. Overall, so much attention to detail that was so appreciated after a week of travel.
