Colony Inn

The staff were quite helpful and willing to help people with the strange check in.

No matter what I did I could not get the room to cool down to a comfortable temperature. The hotel supplied two small desk fans in place of an AC unit which could be plugged into at one of the three outlets that were not close enough to the bed for the little fans. What I finally got to work was to open the window and point a fan inwards in front of it which dropped the temperature of the room from 85°F to 75°F which was manageable. That did sadly mean I had to leave the blackout curtains open slightly letting the 20hr daylight and 4 hr after sunset light into the room. The hotel is also located ~300 feet from a bar that has live bands.

We live in a three-room house. The living space is quiet, spacious and clean. The kitchen is fully equipped. Excellent value for money

There was no message telling us that we had to check in at The Valley Hotel first. The smell was unpleasant when we first walked in. The basement is untidy and the garage is full of clutter.

check in was at a different location and was not known ahead of time.

The location was wonderful, in the heart of the historic Matanuska Colony.

The mater bedroom could use a new mattress.

Historical House. It was like staying in a house from the 1970s. The bathroom was large and nice. You must use internal stairs to access the bedrooms (2nd floor). The washer and drier was located in the basement.

The electricity was out for 1/2 day. It was only in that neighborhood in town. The power was back on in the late afternoon. So no wifi or electricity to make breakfast in the morning. The beds were small and the mattresses were worn out a little.
