Even for those of us from Alaska, getting accommodations in little bergs can be challenging and you learn to not expect much. When the Northern Lights were out in full force this winter, some friends and I decided to head to Talkeetna (not much there, no city lights to dim the view) and photograph the lights. A last minute trip,... More

The rooms were basic, clean, warm and comfortable. There was free wifi which was nice. The Schnitzel at their restaurant is very good. Even if you don't stay here, I would recommend stopping in for the Schnitzel. Also, it is family-owned and the staff is very friendly and helpful. More

If you're staying in Talkeetna for a night or two between Denali & Anchorage, Swiss-Alaska is a good place to stay. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. A little expensive for what you get but compaired to other places in Talkeetna it's your best bet. Don't forget to look for Mckinley as you drive into town, there is a pull-off... More

Unfortunately only had one night for Talkeetna, but made the right decision to stay here. Easy to find, nice room and family run, and what a great family, helpful, friendly, informative, just flat out nice. Would definitely go back here if I ever get the chance. More

In a state filled with overpriced overcooked food the Swiss Alaska stands out. Clearly a local favorite, must try the schnitzel. More

This was a very nice place to stay for a night. We stayed in the rooms on the first floor. The corridor to the rooms is dark and it can seem dingy but the room is very nice, and clean. There is not a lot of light in the room. There is a window but since there are trees everywhere,... More

My husband and I travelling from England stayed here during our tour of the Yukon and Alaska and as we had stayed here 8 years ago, but only for one night, we wanted to return to spend more time in Talkeetna. The Swiss Alaska Inn is great, a lovely family run hotel, the owners were pleased to see us return... More

I recently spent a week at the Alaska-Swiss on an extended business trip. The setting is quite pleasant, located in forested suburban Talkeetna. Moose often pass through the motel grounds so be careful when walking around. Also, lots of mosquitoes! It is only about a 5min walk into town along a nice forested trail where you’ll find all the shops,... More

We stayed one night with our teenage daughters and found the hotel very comfortable and very clean. We stayed in the main lodge, room was small, but adequate. Beds were good. Staff was pleasant and helpful, dining area was warm and nicely decorated with wireless internet. 2 minutes drive to main street downtown. More

We stayed on the 4th July weekend, when Talkeetna is busy-ish, and found it a very reasonable option. It's a short walk to downtown, slightly longer if you want to go by road and avoid walking over the railway line. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially the lovely young man who served our breakfasts (sorry we never caught... More
