"This place was terrible. Dirty we had two towels no washcloths no hand towels. And not a lot of anything else. We had a TV through the cracks your cable that went to nowhere so we got about four channels. Luckily I plugged my computer in with an HDMI cable and was able to watch some good shows off my computer. I would highly recommend you not stay here."

Puffin Inn of Anchorage

Puffin Inn of Anchorage

8/10 Good
"The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The airport shuttle was a big plus and a very smooth ride. Breakfast was basic but enough. We stayed in an economy room and should have opted for a better one. We were on the second floor, but the window would not close properly. The shower was small and the shower head would not move. I am 5’3” and I had a hard time showering because the head was angled too high. Also, the floors were cracked and had gaps in them. The fitness center is a small room with a walking treadmill and some small weights. I would stay at this property again but would opt for one of the better room options."
