It was like a wonderful camping experience - the cabin/tent had full beds, clean floor, down comforter. Bathrooms very clean!
Cabin clean
Poor customer service upon arrival. Rude counter staff ignored for 10 minutes after arrival. Did not inform had to pay for shower. Restrooms far from room. Location remote - need a car or extremely inconvenient.
Sven, price, friendlyness, the personalized greetings on our cabin, the free 4 quarters for your first shower, relaxed/chill atmosphere, accomidating...Will ALWAYS stay at Svens when in AK.
Didnt know that the showers were 1 minute per quarter &we did not bring our own towel(1 was given if you asked but we somehow did not get 1)so that was a lil hurddle first thing in the AM. Got there late so I feel like we did not get the full tour/my bad.
The cabin was very well clean.
Sharing restroom. 4 quartes per 1 minute showering. Never experonced this type of getting shower before.
its just a camping experience but already everything has a good setup. good way to conserve water.
as the summer night is already short, few people was making noise after dark which means literally the hr when people sleep. because of tent style the noise was loud and clear that made things annoying.
It was inexpensive and it had common areas
