The staff was very nice and accommodating. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and considering it was the only motel within about 100 miles, the rate was quite reasonable. I would recommend it and would stay here again if I was in the area.

OK. First. Set realistic expectations for the middle of nowhere with a year round population of under 100. That said.... The good: This place was adequate for one night. We were in Room 1 (end room) with two beds, a table with two chairs, TV, mini fridge, sizeable dresser and plenty of room to spread out. We were able to park right next to our room to unload/load. Very convenient. The eyebrow raising observations: The shower was old and has rust stains which made cleanliness nearly impossible to see. So much so that we decided to skip a shower. (I have no doubt it was clean, just looked questionable.) One bed looked much newer than the other which had significant staining on the box spring. The window had a crack but didn't bother us. The restaurant has decent food and service is friendly. Note: We were told it's illegal to serve a hamburger anything other than well done. A well done burger can be tough. A well done Bison burger is tough. Lesson learned. Breakfast was really good. Overall dont skip this place if you're looking for a place to rest and refuel. It gets the job done.

Always our first night when driving out of Alaska. It isn't fancy, but it's always clean and comfortable. A little convenience store is next to the cafe and check-in for the motel.

Perfect stop for dinner and sleep. Nothing fancy but it was clean and comfortable. Great shower pressure. Check in is inside the little convenience store by the fuel pumps. Well priced for the tired traveler.

All was very good, and as expected. However, next morning hot water was cold - no showering. A bit disappointing, but they had a service-person there tryong to sortout the hot water malfunction

there was only one light in the room and odd positioning of the furniture. the tv was above the couch, so you would have to sit at the small table to watch the tv.

The staff at the Talbot Arms are very friendly and accommodating. This is not a fancy establishment, but it is clean and well maintained. The location is very handy along the Alaska Highway. The restaurant has a nice variety and the food is tasty.

I’ve traveled rural places all my life so I know amenities and cleanliness can be challenging in these places due to high cost of living. This place, though, was great. Very friendly. Very clean room. Nice restaurant. Very happy we picked this as our stop en route to Fairbanks even though it was a relatively short distance from Haines.

The room was clean. It was convenient to have a restaurant and gas station on the same property. We had to wait a bit for the restaurant and gas station convenience store to open at 7am so we could grab coffee and breakfast snacks before leaving. I would definitely recommend to anyone passing through.
