The hotel bedroom was weird. The bed was nice. The linens looked clean. There were 3 pillows and one had a nice clean pillow case but the other two had wrinkled pillow cases. Then there was the bathroom. There was yuck behind the toilet and I had to clean the shower, it was really gross. I am sorry. I didn't expect it to be pristine but this was a bit much.

Pros:
The room seemed to be really clean, and the bed and pillows were comfortable and smelled fresh
Working fridge.
Less than 10 minutes to the airport.

Con’s:
Sketchy neighborhood, especially late at night.
Older, run down, not well maintained.
Some road noise if you’re in a downstairs room facing outside.

**In case you don’t realize it when booking, if you choose a room with one bed, it’s upstairs (no elevator) and hostel-style (tiny room, shared bathroom and shower down the hallway). If you choose two beds it will be down on the main level, with your own bathroom, and an outside-facing door.**

My teenage son and I stayed at this property twice on our recent trip to Alaska. I had some travel issues that had nothing to do with the Inn and the owner was so kind and patient. The rooms are unique and very clean. The room with a double bed and a twin bed is perfect for 2-3 people. We loved this place and would stay there again.

For the price (it was one of the least expensive hotels in the Anchorage area) it was great value for money. Although the building looked kind of old and well-used, everything was perfectly clean and in good working condition. The staff was friendly and helpful. No breakfast but there’s an immaculate kitchen you can use with a full size freezer/fridge, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, plates, bowls, and cutlery. Plenty of free parking. Other reviews said it was loud, I think that just depends on the particular guests staying at the same time as you. I was there a week and it was very quiet. The only negative was that the front desk is not staffed 24/7 so if you lose your key or fly in late (or if you have a loud neighbor) that might be an issue.

The check in process was easy. Helpful staff shared the laundry opportunity, even gave me quarters. The shared bathroom and shower were very clean. What was unexpected and disappointing were the bed bugs. I reached out to the management and their response was dismissive, at best.
I want to support local businesses and was very excited to do so. But if they can’t assure we don’t walk away with a bigger problem then I’m sorry to say I’m going to be honest in my review.

I checked in and was making my way to the room. I had stopped in at the Peanut Farm for about an hour. I had three drinks.

Making my way to my room and I commented that I was a little drunk and that lugging my luggage up three flights of stairs was a challenge.
You would have thought I killed Bambi. The female manager started yelling at that this was an alcohol free area and that drinking any alcohol was forbidden. I didn’t say anything at the time because I needed the bed. But I did go check everything from my reservation through Expedia’s to the typed sheet of rules in the room. Nowhere in any of that does it say anything about alcohol.

The hotel is incredibly loud. Between Merrill Field and the downtown road traffic, wear earplugs/Airpods to sleep.

If you have any other option, including a tent, please explore it. I wish I had.

I punted on this property and found another after being shown the room. This property is not in the best part of town, and there were homeless people on the street around it. I feel like the description of the property was less than honest. In my opinion, it is a glorified hostel. If that is your jam, it may be OK for you. Just keep in mid that on the upper floor, there are 30 rooms and 3 shared bathrooms.

Would recommend it for the budget-conscious traveler. This was by far the least expensive option in Anchorage when we visited in May 2026. It is no frills, but was just what we needed. We reserved two nights and extended it twice to make it a five-night stay. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The shower connection in our room was a little makeshift, but served the purpose. The only real negatives I would offer is that if you are the street side of the building there is a bit of traffic noise, the door lock could have been more secure, and the weather stripping around the door should be updated to prevent draft (not a problem in May, but would be in the winter in Anchorage). Overall, for the price, can not complain.

Best advice for planning purposes is to not go there at all. The facility and in particular, my room, were in such poor shape that I left after the first night of what was supposed to be a 6 night stay.
•Staff:
oReceptionist – friendly.
oSecurity – friendly but get up out of your seat and come and speak with me versus hanging out up on the landing with your head down, hoodie up and face in your phone.
oThe manager/owner was clueless, trying to defend why the room was perfectly fine. Clueless
•Facility:
oMy room generally presented as dirty and uncared for.
oMy room was not clean – so much so that I had papers adhering to the glass desk due to some sticky substance that appeared to have been spilled and not cleaned up.
oBoth chairs in my room had stains on the seat portion.
oDirty and broken window blinds.
oGeneral appearance of the room was bad.
oThe ceiling fixture had a light bulb that appeared to be out.
oTwo of the five bedroom dresser drawers were missing hardware; one of the drawers appeared broken.
oThe bed: Whoever made it needs training.
oThe concept of shared bathroom facilities was not mentioned in the room description when I made the reservation.
oBathroom shower is filthy (hair).
oMice.
oI chose the Qupuqiaq Inn for its high rating; I am not sure how they achieved said rating.

I then went to my third party booking site requested a refund and they stated they cannot do a refund as I was a no-show and after I spoke with the motel itself they stated that they have no control over the people who answered the phones if it was a guest or not regardless I was not going to get my refund. The absolute unreasonable way they handle this especially for the position I was in I definitely do not recommend.
