Our room in a Barrow, Alaska hotel.

[eggbertsmith]

That really is an excellent room! WOW!

There is a newish hotel in Dubai which I think borrowed for the layout and motif of the fine rooms at this hotel. Truly cutting-edge!

You cannot build a normal road on a permafrost base. This is why the Dalton Highway is a stone based road under constant repair.

Are there any plans to build a highway to Barrow? Would the residents want this or object? I suppose it would make imported goods cheaper

motoscooter during the winter rollagons drive from prudhoe to barrow and make an ice road..but you need to be very well experinced to drive in that kinda condition, were skillfull and living...unlike you people...i live in barrow my whole life..its easy.

Why 2 nights WITH a television, 1 night without television???

[trkolb]

If you walk down the road from the hotel along the coast side you will come to a small restaurant about two blocks away. I do not know the name of the restaurant but the food was very good.

thanks for show your bedroom in the hotel from barrow. maybe someday i can visit this wonderfull place. how much only night in this hotel? is it very expensive?

[trkolb]

Barrow does not have very many hotel rooms. This room was small but clean and in good shape. The cost reflects where you are in the world. All products have to be shipped in and out via the trucking industry. As a result this room was $224.00 per night.

[luizpigeon]

thank you by information. but i would love to know barrow.

[motorscooterRick]

to correct you, trkolb, there are no roads leading into Barrow, therefore there can be no trucking industry. Everything is either flown in, or the larger items are brought in by barge in August.

[trkolb]

My mistake, you are correct. I drove the Dalton highway from Fairbanks to Prudhoe bay and then flew into Barrow. Did not give much though to that answer, sorry.

[NYNYRaider]

I would love to visit but I know rooms at all three hotels there are SUPER expensive...grrrr!

[wolfsblood07]

I wonder what time of year this was? It's interesting that it was hot in the room but cold outside.

[trkolb]

This was the first week in June.

[SnowyGrl11]

ohhh summer time, you got to see the many many birds that migrate there for the summer?...or do the buses for tourists not have that in their schedule?...well hopefully u get to go back soon.

[ericdrummer18]

screw that if i ever take a vacation far away im going to some tropical island in the middle of the pacific

[MagicCrayola]

ahah thank god my mum finally decided to move out of their...my school experience there sucked.

but it is pretty, for the most part.

[trkolb]

Our visit to Alaska was the best vacation we ever had.  Although it was very costly we would like to make the trip again if the future.

Thanks for the comment.

Be Safe,

Ted

Hey man, I'm considering going to Barrow... how much was that room per night???

[Nankoutchak]

[SorinFromRomania]

@Nankoutchak why is boring? is true that in barrow is 30 days of night?

[tikigaqmiut]
