There are 3 hotels in the northern most city in the USA. I like Airport Inn, Top of the world, then comes King Eider. I travel a lot and do not have time to mess around. I expect everything to work ie TV, room heater, room service. More

The staff at the King Eider Hotel in Barrow, Alaska are so helpful and friendly. They made phone calls to find out information for us. They called cabs for us when we needed them. They offered a warm lounge to sit and watch the world series. A computer was very handy for checking our mail. And hot coffee and tea... More

Barrow is a wonderful place, but accomodations are not spactacular. If you are staying in Barrow, this is the best place. Rooms are spacious and reasonably clean. However, it is kind of strange. Some things are given out generously and with others they are surprisingly stingy. Owners are a little strange, but again this is the best place in Barrow.... More

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Barrow. The King Eider Hotel couldn't have been more convenient as it is just a walk across the street from the airport. There is one SERIOUS problem with the hotel. Check out time is 10 AM and they have NO PUBLIC BATHROOMS!!!! We were fortunate to have a rental truck so... More

Even though I only stayed here for a few nights, I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely come back some time soon! Very clean rooms, affordable stays, lovely staff and very nice food! All my praise to the staff! More

I have been to Barrow a few times before for business but I have never stayed at the King Eider. My wife and I decided to go somewhere different this year with our kids to spend Christmas. The staff was very informative and friendly over the phone. Booking was quick and easy compared to a few other hotels I have... More

The Inn looks new, especially when compared with the other inns in town. However, housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. In 4 days the rooms were never vacuumed, the bathrooms were never cleaned and we had to make special requests for toilet paper and tissues and towels. More

I stayed here my first two nights of a 9 night trip. You can walk to the airport from here since it's across the street. I had room 104 which is right by the lobby and windows to the front, facing the airport so it's a bit noisy when planes take off, but not bad. The rooms were very clean,... More

The KI is a nice, clean, relatively affordable (for Barrow) place to stay. It's also almost directly across the road from the Alaska Airlines terminal, so you can walk there without much ado and not have to get a cab for that distance. When you're in the place, you have to take your shoes off and leave them at the... More
