Have you ever watched the movie Wille Wonka's chocolate factory? Okay , it's not like that but it is fun with amazing curves, social conversations that are part out of this world , part humanitarian.

This was my first visit and stayed over Christmas and New Years Eve. Could the carpet in the room have been cleaner, yes. Was it true Irish Oatmeal, no. Other than that the ambience was great. Lucas and the rest of the staff were friendly and willing to help with all of my needs. Talking and sharing with other guests... More

Thanks for your review and I'm glad you enjoyed the atmosphere. Our main goal is to create a place where there is community and learning (and quality). We are beginning a remodeling project that will be ready for the summer, with a lot of very interesting new features. You can see some of the details on our website. But I... More

Stayed here last fall and was happy with the price but not with the environment. Have to say we took a chance and stayed again last week for 3 nights and the new manager (or fill in) not quite sure has done a marvelous job. Everything was clean and most importantly; peaceful. For the price the hotel is unmatched in... More

This is the second time I have stayed at the Qupqugiaq Inn. For the price, during peak season, it can't be beat. Private bathroom, quiet corner. The shades on the windows don't block out the light very well, but I got used to it. Nice walking distance to a couple of restaurants and easy access to some main roads. There... More

Staff nice. Room worn & not clean. Breakfast non-existant: cereal without milk & no mix for waffle iron. Private room with private bath was very overpriced for the level of grime in room. Television did not work. Common area for internet nice.

We chose this inn mostly based on price and online recommendations as we didn't need anything fancy. There is definitely a high quirk factor - we stayed in two different private rooms on two different occasions (we left Anchorage for a few days) and the decor and bed linens, etc, were all over the board. Overall the room was clean... More

This was my thorough review on yelp as well: 3.5 out of 5 This is not your typical inn (I realized later that some of it was a "hostel". However, you can have a private bath room too, which is what I had). The place has a quirky personality. Which I liked....for the most part. I live in Fairbanks and... More
