We believe that comfort comes not just from sparkling clean rooms and cozy beds, but from warm greetings, thoughtful touches, and treating every guest like long-time friends.

We were there with my husband and after hiking all we want to do was going back to the motel and spend time relaxing in our room with a breathtaking view. I highly recommend this place if you don’t like hotel chains or big places. We’ll definitely go back.

"We had a fantastic stay at this motel! It was very clean and modern, which made us feel comfortable right away. The room included a full kitchen with a stove and fridge. The manager was very helpful. Truly excellent service and a great value. Highly recommend! We would stay here again!"

Monica P

"The Pioneer Motel exceeded expectations! From the outside, it looked like a typical Alaska motel, but inside—it was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were recently remodeled, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The beds were super clean and cozy, and the room had a smart TV with all the major streaming services. We arrived late, and the self-check-in process was incredibly easy. The personalized welcome card was a thoughtful touch. Everything was sanitized and well-maintained. Plus, the location is right in the heart of Palmer, close to plenty of restaurants and eateries. Highly recommend this Motel!"
