The staff were amazing. They went out of their way to make our stay special. They knew we planned on taking a self guided polar bear plunge and told us to take a video. When we showed them the video, we got a certificate and a patch. So cool. Room was pretty standard. Excellent hot shower with great water pressure. Convenient location right on the beach. Free shuttle to and from the airport.

Top notch service - spent 3 nights after back to back flight cancellations and they were more than accommodating ensuring I always had a room and allowing late checkout. All 3 rooms I had were extremely clean and well maintained. All carry out food from the restaurant was fresh, delicious, and very filling. If I am ever in the area again I will not hesitate to book here again.

The hotel is pretty good. But it is tough to get information from the front desk. They still have an old message if you call their front desk informing you that they are not operating now. I was picked up the shuttle from the Airport. Indoor dining wasn't open at their Niggivikput Restaurant in the 1st week of June, but their take-out option was pretty good. I ordered a couple of meals, and all of them are very tasty. Attaching their menu here.

Their website is now totally fraudulent. We found if they offer it on the site, it’s a lie! No tours, no gift shop, no recant, no gym equipment, we were there 3 days and never received housekeeping. No room service. I under stand covid affected them but they lie about everything. The manager is not even in Barrow, she went on maternity leave months ago and hasn’t come back, so you have nobody to talk to. It’s turned into a flop house as far as I’m concerned.

Though the nightly rates are steep... I am quite pleased with this place! The building, for one thing, is top-notch maintained! IF you are expecting the Ritz-Carlton, then don't even bother coming to Utqiagvik! The installation of electrical, fixtures, and facilities are undoubtedly professionally done! The place is CLEAN! And considering the nature of dust/salt-air in the Village, it's REALLY clean! The staff is super-friendly and attentive! *** WORD-OF-THE-WISE! *** To those that may find the hotel's ZERO-TOLERANCE alcohol/drug policy 'uptight' or think to 'protest' it... DON'T!!!

Obviously pricey given it's remoteness, but facilities and service was very good. Staff were very friendly. The baleen artwork and various carvings in the main lobby are beautiful. The hotel was also very accommodating to us given that our flight was cancelled and we needed to rebook right away. They also let us stay a bit later in our rooms than usual so we'd have a warm place to stay while waiting for our late-day flight.

Went to Barrow at the end of August 2019. My main reason for going was to scatter the last remaining ashes of my son who unfortunately passed away at a young age in 2014. He requested some time before he passed that if he died he would want some of his ashes scattered there. I was finally able to make the trip which I did by myself. The manager Donna was great at Top of the world as well as ALL the other staff which made the trip easier to deal with, all things considered. My room was better than I expected and the restaurant was decent. To add to all of this, when I checked out I was given

Decent place. Clean, helpful front desk staff, a restaurant in the lobby, and working heater and water.
It's right by the whale bone arch and a short walk to the Post Office and the grocery store. However, you probably don't want to do that walk in the winter. We tried it in negative 30F plus wind chill. Not fun.
Good thing they have a restaurant inside.
There's a small fridge in the room, however, no microwave or kitchenette if you need to heat some food up.
Also there is a small work-out room with 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, 1 stationary bike. Minimum but functional.

As far as hotels in the bush go, you could certainly do a lot worse.
This is similar to the main hotel in Kotzebue, but without the insane rules about drinking, and with a much better restaurant attached.
They have WiFi included. It's kind of spotty but it works in a pinch.
Rooms are clean, lobby is always a bit dusty.
It's very close to the famous "Whale Tusks" that everyone on Instagram gets photos of. It's within walking distance of the one pizza place in town.
The major con is that it is outrageously expensive for what it is.

Warm and welcoming staff. Clean rooms with everything you need to feel comfortable and safe. Makes it easier to get over the lack of paved roads from the airport. Even the shuttle drivers are nice and do their best to make it fun. Room was a little too warm but otherwise fine with an excellent large flatscreen TV. Restaurant was good but not great on heart healthy foods. The store could carry more items but not many other options around. Considering where they are they do a heck of a job.

Nice clean and quiet hotel. All the needed amenities and comfortable beds. Very friendly and helpful staff: drivers, front desk, and restaurant. Good Wifi.
Pricey, yes, but it's Barrow and the hotel is quite a pleasant surprise for this locale.
Centrally located and taxi service here was spot on as well.
Only wish that the gift shop was better stocked.
If coming to Barrow, this would be my recommendation for lodging.

Decent (and the only) hotel. Staff were nice but we found that our requested King or Queen bed was not available so a full-sized is what we got. Two of them actually but we weren't about to sleep separately. The rooms are clean however and the staff was accomodating. There is no A/C and the heat is only somewhat controllable. I believe there was radient heat on constantly because our thermostat was not on and even with the window open, letting in 25 degree air, the room would not go below 72 degrees. I like the room cool when sleeping but it was a sauna in there the entire stay. I don

I have only visited Barrow once, but I believe that this hotel is the best in town. Despite being where it is, the hotel is very modern and spacious, with just about everything you could want. Flatscreen TV, comfortable bed, refrigerator, and even a restaurant on the lowest floor. Should you be stopping in Barrow for whatever reason, this is the place to stay.
PROS:
-Stocked with amenities
-Refrigerator, microwave, and ample cabinet space
-Modern and clean rooms
-Restaurant with good selection located on lowest floor
-Easy to book tours via front desk staff
CONS:
-Staff are a bit withdrawn

For Barrow hotels, definitely the one to pick if you can get reservations so book early. Staff were consistently efficient and friendly. Rooms were modern, clean, and quiet. Exercise room was minimal (treadmill, bike, and elliptical) with no weights, yoga mats, etc. though all equipment was in great working order. Complimentary wi-fi worked ok and perhaps will improve when the city is connected to the fiber optic cable this winter. Didn't pay for the upgrade but was able to stream netflix...just slow.

It has been said, the staff is great. Enjoy breakfast of eggs and reindeer sausage, very well cooked and very tasty. If you ask for eggs over easy you will get them a bit wet. I go medium and still get great yolks. The restaurant manager also runs the gift shop. She is very helpful, helped me find some great local pieces.

I would definitely recommend this hotel. Great location and staff. However, I give it 4 stars because of some of the staff and average tour they offer. Great drivers and waitstaff, and most of the front desk, but a few front staff personal just don't seem to know what customer service is. The printer was down so I asked them to print some boarding passes, only afterwards did they tell me each page is 25 cents. Not a big deal, but why not tell your customers this before? The tour was good, but I feel they could do better with the narrative because it seemed improvised. Perhaps start by

The staff at the hotel is beyond amazing. Super friendly and helpful and there is a free shuttle to/from the airport (and good thing as I doubt there are too many taxis in a city with no paved roads). The Arctic Ocean is mere yards away and we had a bit of a view from our window. It was a bit pricey but everything in Barrow is given its isolation. Not a luxury hotel at all but it was a comfortable night stay and the staff really made it worth it.
There is a restaurant downstairs that is excellent and the hotel also offers tours of the city (for a fee).
