Ratings and Reviews of Ma Johnson's Hotel

9.0 user rating

We had an issue where it could have been, “ not such a pleasant outcome.” Ragen, front desk at Ma Johnson’s handled the issue with ease and helped us out so much. She was great the way she handled our problem. This was my 4th time to McCarthy and I will definitely keep coming back. The owner, Neil was working the breakfast time and I casually asked a question of “Did he remember the band with a long name from two years ago.” He couldn’t off the top of his head and I said, don’t worry about it. He went and found out and then had a great conversation with us. He didn’t have to do that but he did. This is McCarthy and why I keep coming back. A great place with great people.
We had a wonderful stay, and can’t say enough about the hospitality and warmth of the staff, and their generosity. The rooms were comfortable and homey. McCarthy would not be the same without Ma Johnson’s Hotel.
This a pleasantly quiet place to stay in McCarthy, and a nice reward after the difficult journey getting here. There are no televisions or other distracting electronic noise to detract from the "off the grid" feel of this place. The decor of this hotel perfectly reflects its early 20th century Alaskan mining town heritage. The staff were charming and engaging, and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. 5 stars out of 5!
