4/10 Fair

Older and dirty for a hotel in the United States

They are trying to update the property but it truly is very dirty and expensive for what it is. Free breakfast was kind of dirty.

ZELMA, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Maybe overpriced

This hotel has several buildings of different vintage. We were in the original building with some challenges. The bathroom door did not close and there was very low water pressure in the shower. More like a dribble of water.
Steve, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The bathtub was covered in mold and absolutely disgusting. Dont sleep on first floor bc you can hear everything people in room above you do. For over 300 per night, this was a terrible place
Sarah, 1-night trip

This is the best functional hotel. 24hr shuttle, clean rooms, enough breakfast at 5am for people on the move.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great deal for the price

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Room was roomy, clean, quiet with a nicely remodeled bathroom. Complimentary breakfast was pleasant and fresh. The shuttle to the airport was on time and proficient. Good hotel for a good price. We would recommend to friends and family
Karen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good place for night stay Quiet

Kerry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best value found during many stays in Anchorage

Staff, location, cleanliness are fantastic! Breakfast put out at 5am for early travelers. It is an urban location, which suits me great for convenience of food, transportation, the Inn has a dependable shuttle to the airport not far away; but it's not for folks who want to get away into the woods.
John, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Puffin Inn is OK for a quick stay

Puffin Inn had a shuttle from the airport which was nice. Check in process was efficient. The facility is pretty old. Our room is small but everything seems clean. We arrived middle of the night and leaving before lunch so not spending much time at the hotel or area to comment on proximity to activities.
Dustin S, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Gross

This property was disgusting. No pillow cases then stains on the sheets. There was trash left in the room. Pillows were uncomfortable. Also, didn’t feel safe.
