Checked in at a cost of $150. The room(s) are old and in need of a total makeover. It was clean but that was the only thing I could say I liked. The first room, tv remote didn't work, neither did the shower. We were asked if we wanted to use the shower, communal I assume. After declining we were... More

This motel is deceiving. From the road, driving by, it (and its restaurant) look rather quaint and attractive. The reviews here, though, indicate the quality of the product behind the facade. I was fortunate enough to have read the reviews for the Caribou before staying in Glennallen and I stayed at one of the local B&Bs instead (see Tripadvisor’s reviews... More

We booked the jacuzzi suite in hopes of having a relaxing first night in Glennallen. Although the tub was there as promised it wasn't as clean as I'd expect it to be. It took about a half hour to fill the tub, which was located in the bedroom, surrounded by carpet... once it was full a grimy layer came from... More

We have stayed at the Caribou Hotel twice. The first time was bad, but thought we'd give them a second chance. Mistake. Both times the rooms we're dirty - obviously they had not been thoroughly cleaned in months (if ever). Dirt and grime in the corners and the rooms had an overall dingy, unclean feel. Dark brown water came out... More

Just to start with, I have never written a bad review for an establishment before, so I'm not sure how to even begin with this one. Driven all day (and into the evening) and needed a place to stay and only had some travel books to rely on for a place. Caribou Hotel seems to be the only place in... More

While in Alaska, I had to suddenly change our route and so I booked a night at the Caribou Hotel without reading any reviews. After doing so, I saw that there were some not-so-good reviews and was very nervous. I even went out and bought "bath slippers" in case the tub was gross and dirty with mold. There are really...

Service EXCELLENT. I left my cellphone in the room and they mailed it back to me within just days. I was surprised! THANK YOU. The rooms were clean and comfortable. This is an average hotel and a nice place to stay for a break between Valdez and Anchorage.

We stayed in a suite this week. The room must have been the owners old apt. It was huge but gross, dirty, and outdated. The water went out right after we got here and when it came back on, it was brown. I mentioned this to the clerk at the desk she said that it has been like that few... More

It's important to us to know when rooms are not being cleaned properly and thoroughly. Please don't hesitate to let us know at the time of your visit so we can make sure this is remedied and doesn't continue to happen. We are very sorry about the water situation. We have a well that is used on the property; there... More

My wife and I had a good experience staying at this hotel. We were on our way to Valdez and stayed overnight. The woman at the desk was very helpful. She recommended some places to visit on our way to Valdez. The accommodation was clean and restful. I would stay there again.
