This Hostel is a wonderful find! It is on bus routes for easy transportation, and near several eateries. I liked meeting people from outside Alaska, especially Jorge, a Chilean biker who biked alone from the southern tip of South America to the Beaufort Sea! Billie and her son, Walter, made me feel at home, and I enjoyed their company. I will return, and will also tell my friend in our village about this gem!

I found the place to be unique in its room rental setup. I've never stayed in a location where you share a room with others. It was a fun experience, and I had the opportunity to chat with the other guests. I highly recommend staying at Billie’s.

Easy check in and check out process. Billie is super sweet and accommodating. The only critique I have is that the furniture and bedding is a little old, but it all still works.
