check inn w holly was easy and pleasant..older hotel but clean rooms,bed clean and comfy bathroom abit tight and could use a safety bar in the shower..but served the purpose. NEVER a fan of carpet in a hotel my only complaint. cooked breakfast daily eggs sausage hash browns along with cereal muffins toast and fresh coffee.sketchy neighborhood but as single female travelers..NO ISSUES...the free shuttle was SO USEUL and anthony was great..we did but a city bus pass and the stop was literally right around the corner.met the whole family and did a day trip with Shar.hollys mom i will say the whole staff..with the exception of one night time person...was friendly helpful and kind..the whole staff actually made us feel like part of their family...this hotel is small..39 rooms. but was great for our needs. if your looking for luxury.dont book here..if our looking for a clean..friendly..older facility that is helpful with your needs...give this place a thought..woul i stay here again..ABSOLUTELY...no frills.they id have ice ;-)..questionable neighborhood..maybe but again we NEVER felt unsafe..THANK YOU FAMILY FOR A GREAT STAY

Best part of this stay was the shuttle service. The restaurant next door was great as well.
Those are the only good things I can say. The property is filthy. No working outlet for a person to get ready so had to try to do hair in the reflection in the door of the microwave. Front desk staff member incredibly rude. Woke up with bug bites. Couldn’t walk on the carpet in bare feet because it was horrendously filthy.
Shuttle service driver was great and was willing to give us rides wherever we needed to go. Shuttle vans were filthy but he was great.

The staff was very nice and helpful, especially Anthony the shuttle driver. He took us anywhere we wanted to go (airports, restaurant, grocery store). The room was spacious but a little dated. Carpet needed to be replaced. Location is very good, especially if you’re flying out of Merrill Field- it’s right next to it. Never really heard a plane very loud but we got there late. It’s not that far from Ted Stevens- shuttle has service to there also. Breakfast was actually hot- scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, muffins, toast, cereal, milk, coffee. Nice to have a hot breakfast instead of just continental. Nice people and very accommodating.

This is a basic no frills hotel. The price is very reasonable for Alaska. That said, the bathroom was immaculate and the room itself was good. There’s a coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. It was quiet. They offer complimentary breakfast and airport shuttle. We were picked up promptly at the airport even though it was 10pm. It was bright as noon and he pointed out a very vivid rainbow going straight up! The driver is the hotel manager. He also drove us back to the airport the next day to get our rental car and was very helpful and friendly. We have stayed there before and would stay there again.

If you’re flying into Anchorage for a cruise and want to save some $$$, this is a great place to stay. It was oldish, but clean. Beds were good and comfy. What blew me away was how willing the owners were to drive their vehicle to help us out. We needed to go to the store and they took us free of charge. They also took us to catch our bus to our cruise line. I wasn’t looking for luxury. Anthony & his wife were very supportive and friendly. I thank them❣️

This property was clean and adequate for my purposes. It is not in the best part of town Across the highway is the general aviation airport (Merrill Field). A few blocks away is the prison. on one side of the motel was an adult novelty shop and on the other, an Asian restaurant. Didn't try either one, so I cannot comment on them. Breakfast comes with the room, and it was pretty basic, but the coffee was really good. The desk staff in the morning was a new hire, and he was excellent at giving directions and making suggestions about what to see in Anchorage.

We were in a non-smoking room, but there was a slight odor of tobacco smoke that was not covered up by the cleaning chemicals. Only stayed one night. It was a good value considering we were there during tourist season.

An ok place for a stay before departing anchorage. The room was fairly large but had no place for luggage. Breakfast was eggs, hash brown, and sausage. A ratty display of muffins and cold cereal with unrefrigerated milk. The carpet was absolutely disgusting to the point that we wore flip flops at all times. Curtains did little to keep out the light at night. I would not recommend it.

This hotel is located in a bit of a rough area - we arrived a little after midnight and there was a good bit of foot traffic all around. We didn't have any problems but were a little uneasy as we traveled with kids and the rooms was outer door access. The facility is older, but extremely clean and the front desk clerk was very kind. Breakfast was also very good.

The shuttle service was wonderful. Took us from the airport to dinner and had our luggage waiting in the room after we were picked up from dinner. The owner took us back to the airport so we could get there earlier than we had requested. Service like that is rare today. Yes, the property is dated, but the walls were thick enough we couldn't hear our neighbors, and it was clean, spacious and comfortable!

You can't call a room nonsmoking just because you put a label on the door. You have to do something to get rid of the smoke smell that reeks from decades of smoking in there. When I book a nonsmoking room, I don't expect to smell smoke.

I washed my hair because there was a hair dryer in the room only to find out it didn't work. The carpet was nasty. The bathroom was nicely remodeled, and the towels were the best I have had in even higher priced rooms. The bed was sooo comfortable. One of the previous guests had gone through and removed all the creamers from the condiment packs so there was none in the room for coffee. I would think that was something they would check. No elevator.

The courtesy van was convenient and driver very accommodating but again reeks of smoke. The staff is helpful and breakfast was excellent. My rating goes low for the reeking smell of smoke, nasty carpet and fake hair dryer.

The location isn't great, but they offer drives to the downtown area, airport and train. My brother stayed at the Wingate in the Ship Creek area and the police were out there several times chasing the homeless away while one guy showed up having a huge gash on his head leaving blood everywhere. The staff just through water over it so that you had to walk past it to get into the lobby. That was not the case at Merrill Field.

Whoever owns this motel is a slumlord. Location is far from everything in a very sketchy part of town. Lot's of homeless and trash on the streets in this area of town. No shampoo bottle in the room. Two microscopic bars of soap. A/C barely worked. Hard to find an electrical outlet that worked. An outlet sparked when I plugged in my charger and the charger didn't work after that. Carpet was filthy. The pictures online must be 40 years old because this felt like a hotel that is rented by the hour not the night. It sounded like the people above us were going to fall through the ceiling. We heard every step they took and it was loud. The shuttle was going to take 40 minutes to get to the airport so we took an Uber. Will NEVER stay here again!

When I first pulled up to this hotel, I was afraid to go in. It looks like something from a 1970s crime drama, but that’s just because I’m used to sleeping in hotels near airports or city centers, for work. Once I got the nerve to go in, the room was huge, and it was very clean. The bathtubs were cleaner than most Marriotts. The view was horrendous, I was between a porn (not pawn) shop and an auto parts store, but it was quiet all night, and I had zero issues. The staff, I did not get the woman’s name, but she was great. Super friendly, super helpful, just an all-around good experience.

We were a group of 7 with 4 rooms for 2 nights. We called for the shuttle from the airport once we received our luggage. The van was there to pick up up along with 4 others within 1/2 hour. Check-in was easy and we received ground floor rooms as I had requested while making our reservation. Breakfast was included which was in the office each morning - scrambled eggs, hash browns and sausage along with cold cereal coffee and juice. The shuttle will take you to places within a 2 mile radius. Anthony was great - took us downtown to catch an excursion we booked and came to pick us up again. We used the shuttle a couple more times with no problem. Anthony also took us back to the airport as requested. The rooms are dated but the rooms were clean and beds comfortable.

Some of the staff was quite well but unfortunately others were lousy. The morning we left and needed a ride to the bus stop, after having just discussed with Jason in office, the driver refused to wait.
I walked out of our room the precise moment he originally was going to leave and he drove off. He obviously would not wait 60 seconds for us to walk down the stairs. Another issue was with front desk. When I asked if she could make more coffee. Her response was \"who drank it all\" not in a joking manner. Then proceeded to reuse the old grounds. I didn't wait. The muffins they provide for breakfast were cut in half which I didn't particularly like but the worst part some were moldy.
Won't stay there again.

The room was nothing like what was in the picture. It was clean but it did look like there might be a blood stain on the carpet. The shuttle driver was very rude because we misunderstood where we needed to be picked up. We were told by airport staff where all hotel shuttles picked up. Apparently this hotel has a different spot, most likely because all the other shuttles would make theirs look really bad. We did keep apologizing but he more or less chewed us out for the misunderstanding. He was very unprofessional and the van used for shuttle service was filthy and so was the driver. The room and van reeked of cigarette smoke, and the faucet and toilet leaked and made noises all night. The woman at the front desk was very nice but the two shuttle drivers we dealt with acted like it was a put out to have to deal with us. We had two nights booked there but cancelled the second night cause I absolutely will not stay there again

The morning man turns out to be a gourmet chef (in Alaska everyone has multiple jobs) so the \"standard\" motel breakfast included the best scrambled eggs, juicy sausage patties, breakfast potatoes and wonderful baked goods.
Near the main entrance of Merritt Field, the neighbor hood is not prettiest, but is quiet and safe, the room is not the fanciest but very comfortable. A great, affordable find!
