"Good value. The hotel room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and the bed was great. Friendly employees. The parking lot was shared, and it was sometimes hard to find a spot.2016-02-17"
"This was the worst motel ever. Don't stay here.2020-08-21"
"The room was comfortable, and the motel staff was friendly.2017-07-30"
"We weren't impressed with this older motel. Our room was clean and remodeled, but nothing special. The employees were pleasant and efficient. If you just need an affordable place to sleep, this will suffice.2017-07-29"
"Convenient to the rail depot, and a decent walk to downtown for dining, shopping, and entertainment. The hotel room was clean and quite spacious. Our room keys were deactivated every day, which required a trip to the front desk to have them re-set. The front desk staff wasn't welcoming and answered questions curtly. Still, I recommend staying here.2021-08-04"
"The room was well-maintained, the hotel staff was extremely welcoming, and the complimentary breakfast was amazing.2019-05-26"
"Near the train station, and close to downtown but away from the traffic. The hotel had a wonderful view of the river. Surprisingly large, clean room, and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was wonderful. This will be our go-to hotel when we're in town.2016-01-19"
"Our hotel room was average and had too many cots in it; we couldn't even get to the closet because of this issue. I don't recommend staying here.2019-09-06"
"I had a pleasant hotel stay. The location was convenient, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. Not enough hot water for showers, though. Friendly staff, nice breakfast, and good cookies.2019-03-09"
"The hotel was within walking distance of a nice mall and Walmart. Housekeeping was a joke; they didn't consistently make both beds, and on 3 occasions they folded and hung up the dirty towels we'd left on the floor. Only 1 trash can was emptied. In the 12 days we stayed, the floor was never vacuumed. The complimentary breakfast was good and convenient, but I recommend staying somewhere else.2019-07-19"
"The hotel room was pleasant, the staff was nice, and breakfast was good. The airport shuttle was handy.2016-09-03"
"Good location and rates. The hotel was quiet. The room wasn't clean, but the staff was accommodating and quickly corrected the problem. Good variety of healthy choices at breakfast, but the eggs were undercooked.2016-01-27"
"The hotel room was clean but a little outdated. There was an on-site bar and grill and a free shuttle to the airport.2017-09-24"
"Close to the airport. This is a 1960s hotel that's been somewhat remodeled. Seemed overpriced, and the bottled water in the room wasn't free. Find a better quality place to stay.2017-07-21"
"I did not enjoy my stay at this hotel, and it was the small things that bothered me. There was no creamer for my coffee, no cover for the ironing board, and no bar soap provided. The room was freezing when I arrived, and the heater smelled bad when I turned it on. I ended up turning it off and wearing a sweater to bed. The coffee stand was unreasonably slow, and the breakfast potatoes were french fries. The only good things were the free WiFi and baggage hold after checkout. Stay somewhere else.2018-10-12"
"The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly, but the TV and most of the lights and outlets in the room didn't work.2022-05-11"
"Good hotel stay.2017-04-11"
"The room was perfect, and we were pleased with the check-in. The shuttle driver was courteous and picked us up promptly from the airport. I definitely recommend this hotel.2016-05-19"
"Nice location. The room, snacks, and breakfast food were good. I recommend this hotel.2021-04-18"
"Close to the hospital. The rates were high even though many amenities weren't available because of the virus. The light switches, door handles, microwave and fridge controls, and surfaces weren't clean. Housekeeping didn't clean the room during our stay, which was fine, but we ran out of shampoo. The staff was pleasant but not helpful, and the sack breakfast was sub-par. Don't stay here during hte pandemic.2020-06-13"
"I arrived just 2 days after the earthquake, but everything was in full swing. The room was nicer than I expected, and the staff was upbeat. If you're going to the Alaska Native Medical Clinic or any of the Earby medical facilities, this hotel is quite convenient, but even more, it's guest-oriented. The shuttle drivers were professional yet cordial. I'll likely stay here again.2018-12-08"

"I arrived at the hotel to find that my room was in an annex down the block. The walk at night was scary due to the behavior of drunk people on the street. The annex was creepy, and there were no employees on duty. My room was a throwback to the 1980s. There was hair on the blanket. I went back to the main building and asked for a refund; instead I was offered a room there. The furnishings were dated, and the bedsheets and pillowcases were stained. There was lotion in the bathroom, but no soap or shampoo, and the towels were dingy. This is not a place you want to stay.2018-05-01"

Anchorage is located on Cook Inlet in south central Alaska. It is uniquely positioned less than 10 hours from most of the industrialized world. Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) is in Anchorage.
Most of the hotels in Anchorage are downtown, near the train station, or along Glenn Highway by JBER.
Additional hotels are located near the airport, in Midtown Anchorage, and near Seaward Highway.
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
