“Golden North Inn impressed me with its refreshingly sincere service, a quality that genuinely elevates the experience despite the dated decor. Its proximity to the airport, complete with a convenient shuttle, adds undeniable value. I think the complimentary breakfast and thoughtful extras, like water for Northern Lights viewing, reflect a management that truly cares about their guests' comfort.”
