Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests had a negative experience, citing major issues with cleanliness, safety, and service. Several reviews mention feeling unsafe due to the presence of suspicious individuals and crime in the area. Cleanliness was a common concern, with reports of dirty rooms, mold, and poor maintenance. Service was often described as unfriendly or unhelpful, and breakfast offerings were frequently criticized or absent. However, a few guests did appreciate the location, low price, and comfortable beds.

Hotel, needs updating and a new coat of paint, , the rooms are full of mismatched furniture and other stuff, bed were comfortable, carpet was new in 1990. The low cost for Anchorage hotel has seen better days, it is right next to a church with numerous homeless people wandering around and in the alley and parking lot. Felt safe, but others may not

Cons (-) The breakfast consisted of a serve-yourself counter to Costco croissants and coffee.

Pros (+) I would never recommend this place to anyone I care about. I rarely leave reviews, I am very easy to please, but this was one if the worst places I have ever had to deal with.
Cons (-) I was BLOWN AWAY by the horrible staff and their rudeness. First I was told I did not have a reservation (for which I had already paid in full), then I was told I would not get the two double beds I had reserved, instead they would give me a king.

Cons (-) Rooms smelled like smoke and no continental breakfast was offered as advertised and no offers were made to make up for the loss of our breakfast. Inn seamed to house the homeless on a weekly or monthly bases. I am glad these people had a place to stay, but They asked us for money and cigarette lighters. Not what we were looking for on our vacation.
