Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Eagle River/Anchorage Area

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Eagle River/Anchorage Area

10/10 Excellent
"The price I paid for this room made it feel like I was in the lower 48, and that’s exactly what I’m talking about! I even enjoyed the continental breakfast. I will always check here first when I need to stay in Anchorage. I was planning to sleep in our truck if all the rooms were still at summer prices, but much to my surprise, they weren’t. My husband was having carpal tunnel surgery the next morning, so it made me feel so much better that he got a good night’s rest. That would not have happened if the room rate hadn’t been so reasonable. Thank you, Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham in Eagle River, AK!"
