LODGING TIPS

Most locations have check in and check out times posted either in the room or at the service counter. This gives the facility time to clean and prepare rooms for arriving guests. Room rates are usually available on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Room rates can change on a daily basis depending on the occupancy rate of the location. Most facilities do not offer discounts during peak demand times. This means that during the summer months, most lodging facilities do not offer daily discounted rates. Many locations in Alaska have a tax on lodging, called a "bed tax". This ranges from 2% to 10% of the daily rate. Price quotes for lodging generally do not include meals, long distance phone service, taxes or gratuities. You can save money on your lodging by choosing a facility that has features that you plan on using. If you are not going to use room service, pools, etc. then you may want to consider less expensive locations which do not have these features. It is not uncommon for lodging facilities to be at 100% occupancy during peak summer periods. Advance reservations are always recommended. Most locations are designed for double occupancy, that is two adults in one room. There is often a different rate for single, triple or quadruple occupancy. Lodging rates for hotel, motel and lodge locations in Alaska during the summer tourism season can range from $90 to $300 per day. Winter rates can be 1/2 to 1/3 less that the summer rates.
