Summary: Ma Johnson's is the classic vintage small town hotel. The decor reflected the town's history and each room was decorated accordingly. They were upfront about things like a shared bathroom and no outlets in the rooms. It was a little cold upstairs since that floor does not have heaters in the rooms but they gave us extra blankets. For us, these things were issues and it was fun to socialize w/the other guests while charging up our electronics. The WiFi worked great as did the transportation. Everyone was helpful and it was easy to get around town. The breakfast was outstanding!

Summary: Emily drove the shuttle, gave great advice on what to see, worked the front desk and did the laundry. They ran an extension cord for our CPAPs and the lobby was a cozy place to charge your phone and chat with other travelers. They went over and above to take care of us.

Summary: We tried to stay at the Kenicott Lodge and are so glad it was full! Thats when we found Ma Johnson's Hotel! Absolutely fantastic!! It was like stepping into a time warp and going back in time. And McCarthy is not to be missed! What a cool little town. We stayed 3 nights at Ma's and enjoyed every minute. We were able to walk to a glacier, took the mine tour and went flightseeing, all of which Irecommend highly!! Add this to your Alaskan vacation plans!!

Summary: The Hotel was located in the center of town. Easy to just walk across the street to dine. Very friendly staff.
Would be nice to have battery operated clock. Other than that it was a great experience.
