What guests think

Talkeetna Inn offers a simple, rustic stay beside the river with big mountain views and an easy walk to Main Street, drawing guests for its friendly vibe and value while delivering small, basic rooms that meet short-stay needs.

Many appreciate the helpful staff, social on-site bar, and outdoor seating and games by the river. Common drawbacks include very small, dated rooms with thin walls, no TV, inconsistent Wi-Fi, and no breakfast. Best for travellers who prioritize value and setting over in-room amenities.

Good amenities and games like Cornhole horseshoes badminton. Walk out back for views of the Alaska range and Denali if you're lucky. Convenient walk to downtown shopping and restaurants.

No frills. It’s a bed, a shower, and a place to park. Good enough for the price and location. Beautiful riverfront property, walkable to main street and friendly staff. Bring ear plugs and a sleep mask. The on site bar has reasonable prices and seems to be where many locals go. They had $5 dinners during the week to raise money for the town’s NYE fireworks.

We stayed there in July the room was old but good the shower curtain did stink like piss and made the whole room smell that way. Liked that the room had a refrigerator and a plug-in fan to move the air in the room (no A/C but has a heater. The location was very good, and the grounds were clean. Liked that they had complimentary Coffee, Tea and Hot Chocolate also had some grab and go food for a fee. Location was good and walkable to downtown and to the river. the room was small but that is all we needed to sleep also no TV in room.

Don’t stay here. It’s unsafe. Lock on door didn’t work, anyone could come in. Shower only had drops of scolding hot water. The only window was to the dark hallway. Walls very thin, can hear everything in the room next door. Comforter had a stain on it. Floor dirty under the bed. It looked like a closet converted into a bedroom. The room had a bad smell made my eyes burn.

The location was fantastic, the room was "tired" at best. And no hot water when we returned the second night, not acceptable. Front desk lady attempted to work on it, it was better the next a.m. but that required we wake up an hour earlier than planned to be sure. Rooms are dark & "spartan" is a word for the overall accomodations.

Best hotel we stayed in during our vacation mainly because the staff was so accommodating and helpful. Wifi was awfully slow but available which was nice for checking email. No tv in the room but you’ll be spending all your time walking around the amazing stores. Young and lively attendees at the hotel making the experience fun for all ages. Rooms are very small. It’s a bare bones hotel that does it right! Just what you need for low cost, in an amazing location. Saw Denali from the back porch two days in a row. Better pictures from this hotel than any hotel even the ones right next to the park

The Inn’s room was small but served our purpose for a one-night stay. Linda from the front desk picked us up from another local motel after we were dropped off by the Park Connection Bus. (We had pre-planned the pick-up with them.) Great little place to stay when traveling south from Fairbanks. I highly recommend this inn.

Wow what an experience!!! Staff is top notch and extremely friendly and welcoming!! I loved everything about this place. Kim is the property manager onsite and after checking in on superbowl Sunday she invited us over to the tavern for party snacks and food. Kim checked in with us everyday during our stay just to see how we were enjoying our stay. When she found out our train was not due until after 4pm she was extremely willing and worked with us for a late checkout. She even held our bags after check out until shuttle would be available to the train station. We were able to snowshoe around the property while enjoying the amazing scenery that Talkeetna offers. Rooms were very quiet, nice and oh the pillows were so comfortable!!! 10/10 recommended for a very laid back easy going relaxing stay!!!

Talkeetna Inn is a motel like accommodation that is right in downtown Talkeetna, by the river. The rooms are simple (kind of like basic camp cabin rooms- at least the one I stayed at) but they are clean and have great internet and hot water (which was not the case for several other hotels I stayed at in AK). The location was the best part of staying at Talkeetna Inn, as it’s only a few steps from the shops, bars, restaurants and river trails. Linda and her sister were wonderful hosts and came to pick us up/ drop us off at the train depot. Most of the people staying in Talkeetna stay at the Lodge, but that isn’t within walking distance of downtown. The Inn experience seemed much more authentic and it was convenient.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was very small for 2 adults with 3 suitcases. The view of the river and mountains was wonderful. I am glad we did not select the courtyard view since the courtyard was a dark hallway between the individual unit entries on either side. Great place for the price. The heater was adequate for the 45 degrees from last night, but it may be weak on colder nights.
