I hope they figured out a place to stay after 5+ years.

We send guys up there for work all the time, and there's been a couple of different times all the hotels were full. There's only a couple and Barrow is a regional hub for the North Slope.

Full hotels is pretty much the norm for Barrow and I don't think Top of the World has opened since the fire at Pepe's. That's a lot of rooms that aren't available at the moment.

Im sorry to hear about Pepe's .. I reckon they will wait until warmer weather before fixing it?? (Maybe in March temps will be 10º warmer or so )

I strongly doubt Pepe's will ever be a thing again, its foundation is not even there anymore, looks like rocky pit now. There is a new Hotel being built by the Post Office, looks close to completion.

Can i ask why people NECRO these posts ? its rather strange to reply to a post made 5 years ago, and why are they even retained after 2 years ?

We've got guys in there now doing the final testing & adjusting of the HVAC system, so it should be open fairly soon.

I bet sometimes it is not on purpose, a forum or google search brings up the post and the new poster doesn't look at the date of the post.
