Young's Motel is a favorite with motorcyclists entering and leaving Alaska. It accepts pets and is the first motel travelers come to as they enter Tok from Canada. Fast Eddy's Restaurant is across the parking lot and it provides a wide range of dining options from pizza to prime rib. Neither the motel nor the restaurant are fancy, but they both are clean and provide the basics at a reasonable price.

The Westmark is open only during the summer, from May through mid September. It is frequented by many of the tour companies, so it can be full one night and almost empty the next. It is conveniently located right next to the Tok visitor's center and has a huge parking lot, making it easy for large RVs and vehicles pulling trailers to get in and out. The location is at the crossroads of the Glenn and Alaska-Canada Highways, so access is direct from any direction. Reservations are highly recommended.
