Eagle River Lodge

Eagle River Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The space is thoughtfully laid out for a studio. The end unit made the room feel spacious. The bathroom was very nice. Overall there was plenty of space for long term stays. The only downside was there was no low-level lighting in the galley kitchen, which meant using the main bright overhead light. The frig could use having the door reversed to open for kitchen access, not living room."

Merrill Field Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and it indeed had a kitchenette with a small stove. But absolutely no utensils to use the kitchenette, Not even a skillet or a pot. So I think it was unusable. We could not cook even a small dinner. The table to eat at was very small. Also, a shuttle picked us up from the airport in 50 min but it was probably a miscommunication between the driver and the reception, Then in the morning, the shuttle was on time and we came to the airport exactly as the receptionist assumed, which is more important."
