Top Anchorage Hotel Reviews

Aspen Suites Hotel Anchorage North

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Staff was friendly."

Puffin Inn of Anchorage

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful and our room was clean and well maintained. The shuttle to the airport was very convenient for an early morning flight."

Merrill Field Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I wanted a cheaper place and in what some would consider to be a less preferable neighborhood. I was very satisfied with my stay here, it was within my budget. The employees were very helpful, easy to talk to and had a great sense of humor. I did not come here expecting perfection and to be perfectly honest I was very happy with what I did get. The AC worked, the heater worked. The TV worked and had multiple stations. I was pleasantly surprised with the large space of the room itself, I did not feel cramped whatsoever. I was happy to look out my window and see that they had a dog walking area and so I know it could be a good future place to come with my dog. The breakfast was definitely Continental but I have to say those muffins were fantastic and I honestly appreciated that they were sliced in half because it allowed me to get two different flavors and not overindulge on just one. I very much appreciate the ample parking and the shuttle service so that I could go pick up my rental car. Genuinely enjoyed my stay here and I will happily recommend it to all of my friends if they are traveling on a budget like I was. There are also a great many things within short distance of this hotel, good food, good local culture stores, nice lettuce. Walgreens not too far. And the coffee huts! Also, I love planes. So getting to hear them anytime I stepped outside or opened the window, amazing. Thank you for a great experience."
