Nice little hotel to stay in before flying out for our fishing trip. The staff was courteous, rooms were very basic but clean and updated, and the continental breakfast was very good with lots of delicious options. Compared to the other very high priced hotels near the airport, this nice little Inn was worth the savings for our short stay in Anchorage.

I ended up staying 2 nights here this trip. Very clean and reasonable hotel for the area. Staff were excellent! The airport shuttle service is wonderful! Picked me up first night and dropped me off to get rental car the next morning. I’m pretty picky and would definitely stay here again.
