Always an great hotel to stay in while in Anchorag

Our "Go To" hotel when traveling to Anchorage for overnight or multiple days. Shuttle to and from ANC airport makes overnight stays easy. Puffin Inn "main building" rooms are always very clean and beds are excellent! Staff is professional and friendly.

Great stay, even with the renovations going on. I stayed in the older section but the room was modern and clean. Staff was very friendly. This is going to be quite the place to stay when renovations are done.

Scary!!! No heat in room, no lamps, no closet, no bathtub, toilet paper holder broken, only stayed one night. Hopefully refund for 2nd night. The Brit in a portable heater which did not work, Brit in a 2nd one. Bathroom tiny and room 1/3 size if normal room. Extremely disappointed! My granddaughter sprained ankle at hockey game, our room was located FAR away where she had to haul her hockey gear….limping with pain.

Building is in two parts which is a determining factor on the overall experience. Location is close to bus stop and airport, but in a less desirable part of town. Breakfast waffles are good, bedding and overall clealiness needs improvement.

Great place to stay!

Nice place but lots of homeless people around the area that make it unsafe and only seen one or two cops in the are, a larger police force in the area would make the area safe. Every one was nice and keep to them self, just keep in mind great for people looking for a nice place to stay but not so much if you have a family you need to keep tabs on lol.
