Rooms were filthy smelly bed was unmade and toilet had not been flushed. Sketchy people in parking lot approached us seeming to do harm. We did not stay at the property and to find other accommodations I’d like a full refund.

No elevator and we both are old and use canes Had I known, I would not have booked this hotel Or was after midnight when we arrived at the motel, they had no rooms on the first no roofs inside the main building. We had to walk outside past several buildings and up a metal staircase outside to get to our room with heavy luggage. However, they did have a set of service at the Derby drive. The van was very nice and helped us get our luggage out of the van in the hotel and the young lady at the desk is very pleasant. There was nothing she can do about Kelly that’s a room inside, but this was not the type of hotel you said anywhere old or in frigid weather to

Tourists who are unfamiliar with the area and how to be safe in Anchorage should not stay here. This is a bad location with some interesting clientele. It’s probably fine as a low budget option for locals.

I've stayed at the Puffin Inn a half dozen times when visiting Alaska. It is very convenient to ANC and the staff is very helpful. Just a 5 minute walk to Gwennies Restaurant! Cost is reasonable, rooms are roomy.

Someone doing phentenal on corner. Stayed 7 days and not one time did they clean our room. Had to pick up my dirty towels and bring to front desk to get more that they never changed. Filthy, drug addicts, not safe Expedia!!! Thanks for the horrible suggestion And if you can not handle truth…… don’t ask for review.
