Deal's Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in Alaska

We spent one night here at the end of our Alaska trip before flying home. It is about 15 minutes from the city of Anchorage by car. |I booked it via hotels.com and got the self check-in instructions early in the app and via email. Easy and comprehensive instructions. |We stayed in room 5 downstairs that was a spacious room with King size bed. The windows seemed to have blackout curtains. Which we really appreciated after waking up way too early in a lot of other places because of the almost constant daylight that you have. Which is great unless you need a darker room to sleep well. ||The breakfast is very good with different options. I had sent a message about dietary restrictions earlier which I did not expect to be accommodated since most B&Bs do not take special requests. The host had something set aside for me which I really appreciated. They would have had an option to get a breakfast to your room fridge as well if you had an early morning starts. For us the 7 to 9 am breakfast was great. ||If you are expecting hotel service 24/7 this is not your place. If you are expecting a good, old time B&B with a quiet night sleep, great breakfast, friendly hosts and meeting other guests while enjoying your breakfast with and getting local tips from your host this should be your pick. I would definitely go to this place again. Highly...

My wife and I recommend Deal’s Bed & Breakfast.

We stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Deal three times for a total of seven nights in two different King rooms during our two-week trip to Alaska.

Deal's was our Alaska home base for touring Anchorage, interspersed by trips to Fairbanks and Seward. The Deals were flexible and easy-going. Early departures and late arrivals were no problem. They let us leave a suitcase with them during our side trips. A transit bus stop is nearby. The neighborhood is quiet.

The breakfast smorgasbord typically included sausage and eggs, potatoes, cold cereals, fruits, pastries, fruit juice, milk … and on and on. Breakfast hours were reasonable.

The home was enlarged and customized to be a B&B. It seemed to have five guest rooms, each with a private bath. The decor harkens to the 1980s and features an extensive collection of pressed art glass throughout the house. The Deals have lived here for decades, and their home is a lovely reflection of their lives and their family.

The human comforts — towels, beds and linens — are premium. The towels were downright luxurious.

The back yard has a nice deck when the weather is suitable.

We...

Let’s start with the positive: very comfortable bed, clean room with nice oversize bathroom towels. ||As far as what merits an average review: we did not receive any communication (we used hotels.com, so that might be a factor) and were unsure of how it all worked. We had a one night stay and caught an early train so we missed breakfast (that’s on us). The other reviews say breakfast is great. ||When we arrived we were greeted by an older gentleman who didn’t introduce himself (he was one of the proprietors) and was indifferent at best, straight-up rude at his worst. We couldn’t have felt more unwelcome. Talking to us seemed to be a bother. ||The B & B is described as “grandma’s house” and that’s true. Personally it felt like staying st a relative’s house we didn’t know. It felt outdated and cluttered. This is my personal preference as I like a more contemporary, minimalist environment. Would have been nice to have USB outlets too.||After a night in Seward we reserved elsewhere for the rest of our stay and I’m so glad we did. We would not consider this...
