The room I had (19) was spacious with 2 queen beds, but is the most basic of lodging, with no amenities – notably no bathroom fan, coffee maker or pen and paper. The TV is tiny, and the phone and clock are inconveniently located on the opposite side of the room from the beds. Obviously designed for budget travellers passing quickly through. Despite the issues, the convenience of having the very good Fast Eddie's Restaurant on the property makes Young's good value for people in that category, particularly in the winter.

We drove from Seward to Juneau and back and had to stop somewhere in between and had family stay at Young's previously....not for the rooms per se but for the tasty food and friendly staff. Which we found to be true.

The rooms aren't state of the art but they are clean and we had everything they promised. If you want the Hyatt at Young's prices your're NOT going to get it, but if you want Alaskan Hospitality....especially in the winter when they have plug-ins for your car so your engine doesn't freeze up at 50 below zero...a good pizza and beer (or in my case a steak dinner and a GREAT salad bar!) then Young's is the place to be.

I plan another trip in July and just HOPE I can get a reservation....ummm I can taste that Alaskan Amber beer already! Sign me: An innkeeper in Seward and 50 year Alaskan resident!

When it's one of the only games in town, I guess it becomes more acceptable. Old-fashioned, thin walls, bathrooms need remodeling, toilet ran all night. A good price, though, by Alaskan standards.

I have lived in Alaska for 23 years and travel extensively over the road system year-round. I have been staying at Young's for well over 15 years now and have yet to have a bad experience. It is wonderful to see Young's Motel appear on the horizon in the winter--always warm and friendly! I also love Fast Eddy's restaurant being right there with its great food. You've gotta have the steak sandwich dinner and the light breakfast--they are both great. I only have one complaint after all these years: Young's needs to get a toll free reservations number and give AK residents a price break in the summer. I will continue to use Young's as long as I drive the highway.
