Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport
The room had a terrible strong odour and we had to get the windows open to try and reduce the smell. The next day I complained and I was informed that 2 guys with a dog had been there for several months. The carpet should be torn up and the cement has to be acid treated to get the smell out.
