Typhoon Merbok significantly damaged this iconic inn in late 2022, but the new owners have steadily returned the Nugget to its former glory, with the same kitschy Victorian Gold Rush–era decor and engaging vibes. Outside, a signpost marks the mileage to various points, serious and silly, around the globe. Inside, frontier memorabilia abounds in the lobby and lounge. Rooms are small and clean, although not nearly as atmospheric as the public spaces. Many Arctic tour groups stay here.
Popular for extended stays, Noxapaga offers five different apartments and houses in different residential locations around town. The largest suite can accommodate up to five guests. All suites have internet, full kitchens, and laundry facilities.
