All of the North's major cities have accommodations comparable to those found in cities of similar size in the rest of the United States.  Comfortable-if somewhat spartan-rooms usually can be found along highways and in the smaller towns and villages along the way.

Bed and Breakfast facilities are found in almost every community in the North. This is an excellent alternative to hotels as they are often less expensive and you have an opportunity to meet and live with the locals. 
Reservation for all Northern accommodations are suggested in summer months. 

Along the Alaska Highway and major traveled routes within Alaska, motels and highway lodges are spaced every 50 to 60 miles (except in winter). A "lodge" along the highway usually denotes a small motel, cafe and service station with minor mechanical repairs.

Lodges and highway facilities are described in the detailed mile-by-mile Alaska highways section. Considerably different in character from the casual highway "lodge" are the numerous remote wilderness lodges scattered about the North. Accommodations and facilities range from primitive to plush at these wilderness retreats, which offer fishing and hunting.
