Poohb Posted June 28, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2004 By the way the temps have been, I was curious; I know it's a modern convenience but I believe the temps are above normal so hopefully this isn't a really bizarre question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadjr Posted June 28, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2004 You dont mention where you're asking about. The Hawthorn Suites in Anchorage we stayed at had air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon Posted June 28, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Very few hotels here have air-conditioning, but I believe that all of the ones you're staying at except Sophie Station do have it. Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruin Steve Posted June 28, 2004 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2004 ...and we're on Tour #15 as well... Maybe I should repack and get rid of the sweatshirts and jackets and save the room in the luggage? :) :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephant98 Posted June 28, 2004 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2004 this doesn't apply to any of the hotels you are staying at, but this info. might help others who read this post. I just returned from Alaska and stayed at the Princess hotels located in Fairbanks, Kenai, Denali and Mt. McKinley. Only the Fairbanks Princess hotel had a/c. But, despite the high temperatures posted at these locations during our stay (high 70s/low 80s), the room temperature was still comfortable if the windows were left open and the ceiling fan turned on. (The Princess Denali Lodge does not even have fans). . . Plus, it still cooled down into the low 60s once the sun finally went down. The only caveat being that we used ear plugs to drown out some of the outside noise that came in through the open windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinydancer21 Posted June 28, 2004 #11 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Just want to caution you about the extreme heat and the smoke in the interior, if your coming in the next week or so you might have a probelm. It's as thick as soup today! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted June 28, 2004 #12 Share Posted June 28, 2004 tinydancer... What are the prospects of it clearing up by Saturday night? I guess we're coming, smoke or not...a little too late in the game to change anything now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted June 28, 2004 #13 Share Posted June 28, 2004 >>What are the prospects of it clearing up by Saturday night?<< ZERO is a good estimates of the odds - the weather forecast looks very bad in forest-fire terms. I'm leaving on a 12-day bus trip tomorrow (I'm the driver/guide) that will take us through Fairbanks and many other very smokey places. As with a lot of other things related to Northern living, it just is what it is - have fun anyway! Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeLady Posted June 29, 2004 #14 Share Posted June 29, 2004 We just stayed at the McKinley Lodge last week and it did NOT have a/c--nor fans. But it does have windows you can leave open. :D Hope they get the fires under control. We were blessed with beautiful weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinydancer21 Posted June 29, 2004 #15 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Yukon is right, temps look to be holding threwout the week, and until we get some rain the fires will probebly keep burning. Summer in Alaska! It happens every summer but the smoke is worse today than I can remember in a long time, hopefully by Saturday it will clear at least a little. :) You'll have fun in Fairbanks no matter what though! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
