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.
