when we tried to check in, the owner was running around YELLING. there's no clean linens, no cleaners to clean the room, there were 5 couples standing in the lobby trying to check in hearing this. The area was horridous. The smell of the entire place was aweful.

this hotel should be shut down!!! Two half drunk beer bottles in the fridge. Vomit on the floor in the hall along with trash all over. Looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in over a month. There was what I only could surmise was mold on the ceiling. Literally a disgusting place. The beds smelled like an ashtray and the bed cover clearly had stains on both of them. Don’t come here ever!! People yelling in the alley out back and rummaging through the dumpster. A one star is too high a rating for this place

The hotel once had character and the staff was friendly but there were cigarette holes on the comforter, stains on the blinds and I felt like I had to watch my car out the window. If I had any other place to go, I would have left. Instead I bolted the door and waited until sunrise.

The hallways were filled with junk, old appliances, etc. And were dirty. Homeless people all around the premise. Two ladies at the desk, one was friendly and helpful the other not friendly at all. The room was clean but very old furnishings.

Great location. We picked this hotel for the airport shuttle. The shuttle is not operating and they would not send taxi or reimburse for taxi/uber fees. Disappointing. Hotel is old and is a great location for walkig Anchorage. Not a great neighborhood, we were two backpacking guys looking for a room for 1 night.
