I had a great stay at this hotel and would recommend it to my friends and family. The room was clean and well-equipped with a fridge and stove. The convenient little kitchenette was a plus, but it lacked crockery and cutlery, even a simple spoon for the coffee machine.

The service was excellent. The staff was very helpful in figuring out a way to get our airline tickets printed and happily accommodated our request for a ground-floor room. They were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
Location

The hotel's location is convenient, just 5 minutes from downtown and close to Merrill Fields Airport in Anchorage. However, it is somewhat isolated among industrial businesses and closed car dealerships, making it feel less like a vacation spot.

The dining options were limited but better than most motels. The breakfast offered a variety of choices like scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage patties, and even cream beef on toast. However, the dining experience could be improved.

The hotel has laundry facilities and offers airport shuttle services, making it convenient for travelers. However, the lack of dining utensils in the room was a downside.

The hotel offers good value with clean rooms, though slightly old and reminiscent of a smoking room. The service was pleasant and helpful, exceeding expectations. The location is convenient near the airport and castle mega store, but lacks ambiance for strolling. The dining experience was larger than expected, but minimal and sketchy. Overall, a worthwhile stay for the price.

The hotel was a decent place to stay, offering basic rooms for a good night's rest. The rooms felt a bit dated and could use better carpet cleaning to improve the overall experience. The presence of a kitchenette was a plus, but the lack of utensils and cookware was a downside.

I had an unexpectedly pleasant extended stay at this hotel, extending it from 1 night to 3 nights. Despite being somewhat isolated, the hotel felt like home with fantastic Wi-Fi and cozy rooms that stood out from typical hotel rooms, offering better beds and a quality TV. The service was exceptional, going the extra mile to ensure my visit was fantastic and even accommodating room changes. The dining experience exceeded expectations, with a good range of options and excellent staff. Overall, a budget-friendly motel that felt like a hidden gem in Alaska.
