NICE ROOMS, NICER PRICES!TM
(Why is this our slogan? Because our rates are so low, for this region, that a person might naturally wonder if the rooms are substandard. But our rooms are first class and clean, as hopefully is evident from these photos. Our rooms are inexpensive, not cheap. The actual reason our rates are so low is we made a great purchase on the property and desire to give our guests a great price!)
WHY BEAT YOURSELF UP? If you are planning to take the long and tiring bus ride into the park, why not stay here the night before, and also the night after the ride? Check motel rates: You very likely will find our 2nd day rate, with our “clean rooms discount,” is lower than you will pay at your destination! PLUS Cantwell is one of the most beautiful areas in Alaska! (That’s quite likely why they made the movie here.)
