Golden North Inn

Great stay for the price/location

Liked: For a 2 star hotel this place is great. The owner and staff are super friendly, helpful, and accommodating! Excellent communication and the breakfast was surprisingly good vs what I was expecting. Shuttle is super helpful and goes to either the main terminal at the airport or the smaller flights going north. Highly recommend this place for an inexpensive, close to the airport, no frills but super friendly place to lay your head for a night.

Wonderful experience staying at Golden...

Liked: We ended up encountering multiple staff at the inn. Everyone was kind, attended to everyone of our needs and gave us valuable information on things we needed. We also met the owner who took time from his busy schedule to interact and get details from us.We were always treated with utmost respect and care. We would very much like to come back and stay at this place.Wonderful location, close to airport, supermarkets and restaurants.They provide free shuttle to and from airport. Fully stacked breakfast counter with 24 hr coffee and hot chocolate. If you wish to support a locally owned business, this is the place to be.And yes we saw the northern lights from our room.
Disliked: Nothing, everything was above and beyond.

A cool, inviting place.

Liked: The staff at the reception were extremely helpful, cordial and available for every request. One of them came to my room to show me the heater working. Another gave me her charger to charge my foreign phone which did not work on my charger. There were enough items for a healthy breakfast.
Disliked: Nothing in particular that can be complained about, but I missed the hair dryer on the bitter cold climate.

Liked: Very clean and confortable, room with enough space and very convenient breakfast with Costco products. We arrived at 12:30 am and the shuttle picked up us in the airport. Just be sure to call them. I forgot my cellphone in the shuttle and Jessica a very polite employee returned me.
Disliked: Maybe the furniture is old but these not a problem.
