No, and we would rather say so plainly. We are eleven apartment-style suites on one downtown block. Each has a full kitchen, in-suite laundry, and its own entrance. There is no front desk, no restaurant, and no daily housekeeping — you let yourself in with a door code, and we are reachable by text or phone whenever you need us.
The Fairgrounds are on the east side of Palmer, a few minutes from downtown. Anywhere in Palmer is close — the real problem is that everything in the Valley books out for fair week, so the answer is whichever place still has openings. Book early.
Yes — stove, oven, full-size refrigerator, microwave, and cookware, not a kitchenette with a hotplate. Fred Meyer and Carrs are both under two miles away.
Yes, and there is a space directly in front of your suite. No garage fee, no valet, no hunting for street parking.
Yes, and you should not book it night by night. Contact us with your dates and we will quote the whole stay — extended stays are priced differently and it is almost always better than the nightly total.
Check-in opens at 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Because entry is by door code, a late flight is not a problem — arrive whenever you land.
Service animals are welcome. We cannot accommodate other pets, so if you are traveling with a dog you will want one of the pet-friendly properties in the Valley instead.
In town, yes — coffee, restaurants, breweries and shops are all within a half mile of the door. For Hatcher Pass, the glacier, and the farms you will want a vehicle.
Space and self-sufficiency. A bedroom with a door plus a separate living room instead of one room. A kitchen instead of a mini refrigerator. Your own washer and dryer instead of a laundry room down the hall. In exchange, you give up the front desk and the daily turndown.
