Qupqugiaq Inn

I stayed here for one night before a long flight down to Utah. It was great to have a clean bed and functioning TV, as well as snacks left out for the guests. However, that is about where my enjoyment stops. The common areas were very worn and had damaged walls and the floors were dirty and moved under you - like water damaged wood. Other than the bed, the room had a beg problem with cleanliness. The floor had a grimy feel, as if they'd not swept or mopped it in some time, and the nightstands and vanity had a sticky feel to them as well as cigarette marks even though the room was supposed to be smoke free. As a young female solo traveler, there were several instances where I felt unsafe in the location - if you are also a young solo traveler, I do not recommend this spot. You really feel that lower price tag. In the morning, I had to wait a full half hour in the lobby to check out, because the owner was having an extended conversation (small talk from what I heard) with an employee. This wouldn't be a problem usually, but I had a cab I needed to catch, and the driver was getting impatient. If these are all acceptable things for you, then I think you'd have a great time at a quirky, unique space - it is just very much not for me.

This Inn is in such a great location. You’re 1-2 miles away from absolutely everything. It makes it so easy to grab a taxi or Uber and then BOOM you’re there. It’s also very walkable and there is tons to do right near the Inn itself if you don’t want to go into midtown.

Staff and accommodations are amazing. Highly likely to recommend other people do business here!!

The manager, John, is super helpful and very kind! My third time to stay at the property and all is well! Thank you Theron

Not what I'm used to but they're doing great with what they have. Make sure you read what you're getting. Other than that. The service is great and everything else is good.

Quiet, comfy, polite, even fellow travelers were polite and quiet. Eclectic style. Very unique. Clean room clean common areas. Home like feeling. Buffering while streaming is only static and that wasn't a big deal. Definitely making this my usual spot. Convenient location for market/earing out. Coffee laundromat all in walking distance. Uber was only 2min wait.

TL;DR; - Pictures are very deceiving. Not a convenient location to downtown, price is similar to properties downtown but in much worse shape. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. This place is listed as an inn and I suppose technically it is. However there are rooms that are only a bed and there are sleeping pods, so it is also a bit of a hostel. The reason I mention this is because, even if you book the ‘Superior Room’ the place feels more like a hostel that you paid too much for. During the stay there were people just constantly loitering around the property and in the front desk area. It felt a lot like the whole property was just a community area. Maybe some travelers like that sort of vibe, but I expected a bit more privacy and professionalism. The reason I booked this in the first place was because Qupqugiaq inn has very good reviews on TripAdvisor, which I usually trust (will be having second thoughts after this). That as well as being locally owned I decided to book this in order to support the local economy even though the location was less convenient to downtown and was not cheaper compared to similar accommodations. For the good part. There was good communication with the staff through text message. I was able to get someone there to give me the key even though it was past their usual hours because my flight landed late. I am sorry to say, that is about all I can say was good about the property. Now for the bad. Upon entering the property it was obvious that the room had not been cleaned well. Additionally, everywhere you look there was either damage, or very poor quality repair done. The place was very uncomfortable to be in, and I am not a germaphobe or clean freak by any means. Just as a comparison, I have stayed in some rough HoJos (Howard Johnson), Budget Inns, and Best Westerns that were more comfortable and all were a fraction of the price, even factoring location. The floors were uneven, the trim was peeling from the wall, no vanity space, all of the furniture had some damage, no cable tv, no coffee maker in the room (which is a big deal to some), the door was missing trim, the soap dispenser had missing lid, the shower had mold, the interior door did not even close correctly. All of that I could have overlooked but the worst parts were the Bed (that felt like it had been picked up from a garage sale. One side was so broken down you sank to the bottom and the other you could feel every spring) and the Window ( which was broken at the top and could not be closed so every bit of noise off the highway and people walking around talking rang in as if it was in the room). I of course paid for the full stay. After the first night I went to the front desk during the posted hours. Then proceeded to wait around because no one was actually at the counter. I thought well I will get some coffee while I wait. However, no coffee was made. Finally, after 30 min or so someone stepped behind the counter. I explained the situation wi

Clean and comfortable room, with friendly, professional staff.
