The hotel is inexpensive and located about 20 minutes outside of Anchorage. It is definitely a no-frills place, looks kind of like an old rundown college dorm. We were there in June during unusually warm weather. Window seat cushions are stained, no air conditioning ( typical in Alaska), windows opened to provide cooler air but had no locking mechanism, a good bit of road noise. Linens were not changed or bathroom cleaned during a week’s stay. Overhead lighting did not work, though ceiling fan was nice. Ask for a hairdryer at the desk if you need one. Staff is friendly and continental breakfast is provided each day.
