Totem Inn
With a moose head over the mantle place, the Totem Inn offers a more classically Alaskan ambiance that a lot of the other lodgings in town, along with nicer rooms and steep web discounts (surf before you book). With its plank siding and twin totem poles planted on the roof like goal posts, the main building looks like a roadside lodge. The front desk doubles as the register for the in-house restaurant, which itself doubles as a natural history museum of sorts, where you’ll see stuffed wildlife, carved walrus tusks, and fossilized wooly mammoth parts. A wing attached to the restaurant has several dark, standard motel rooms, with queen-sized beds, burgundy carpeting, and cherrywood furnishings. Better than the motel rooms are the ten little cabins. Despite the blandness of their weathered plywood exteriors, they’re cozy, bright and comfortable inside, with queen beds, pull-out sofas and tiny kitchenettes.
