Nullaġvik Hotel

Stayed for one night while visiting Kotzebue. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Room was nicely furnished. There’s also a very nice observation lounge with views over the sound. We ate in the hotel restaurant which was pretty busy. Food was freshly cooked to order and portion sizes were generous, to the point of being too big. We had the reindeer stew which was excellent, and the Cajun chicken pasta which needed less chicken and more sauce but was still good. Breakfast is a selection of (chargeable) grab and go items from the little store in the lobby - but the breakfast burritos were tasty! Hotel is not cheap but for a rural community it is a very nice place to stay. Postcards are $4 each. The hotel is a 5-minute drive from the airport and the taxi fare was $14 each way (for two of us).

Very nice accommodations. Staff was friendly and helpful. Next to the shore and about a half mile from the airport. I was pleasantly surprised at the accommodations. A nice restaurant down stairs. Blocks from the national park visitor center, which was closed on the weekend.

We spent three nights at the Nullagvik Hotel while looking to visit our son who is a school teacher in Noorvik. The motel far exceeded our expectations for a motel in a remote location above the Arctic Circle. We originally planned two nights with a stay in Noorvik in between. But weather and bush flights made it three nights. The hotel made arrangements for us to keep the. same room to store luggage for a day trip to the village. The room was as nice as anything found in a big city. Clean, comfortable bed, quiet, and spacious. The view of the Arctic Ocean was incredible. They have Wi-Fi. But with our TMobile carrier, it was spotty. I understand that to be the same for most of Alaska, if you don’t have GCI. The staff was friendly, incredibly professional and very helpful with taxi arrangements. And other questions from someone over 3000 miles from home and enjoying a new experience. Note that not all taxi companies take cards. The hotel placed us accordingly. I believe they are the only hotel in town. Although there is a couple b&b’s. The Nullagvik was outstanding. And their restaurant was equally a pleasant surprise.
