“disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2008
3
people found this review helpful

I chose this place because Frommers said it was a deal. It is one of the cheapest places you will find in anchorage but it was really not worth the trade off. We got a room with two double beds a kitchen and what was suppose to be a private bathroom. However our private bathroom was in the hallway and we were suppose to rely on the fact that nobody else would use it. If you go during shoulder or off season they do not provide breakfast. This place was the worst in all the places we stayed in alaska

“Not a great experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2008

people found this review helpful

We arrived late and were shown to a subterrainian room that had a mildew smell. The one window looked out upon a half section of corregated metal pipe !! The bathroom door actually scraped against the toilet when you opened or closed it. On the plus side, the linens were fresh and clean and the young woman who shuttled us to the train station was friendly and outgoing. Overall, I wouldn't stay there again. it is not a good bargain for the money.

“Not that bad”

Good, quick shuttle service. Great location downtown, just a short walk to basically anywhere downtown. Rooms were clean and the breakfast was good.

In conclusion, if you're on a budget and just need a place to spend the night, this bed and breakfast is good.

“Older Hotel with Character”

Great location and very clean. Helpful hosts. Older building and modest furnishings. Good breakfast. Very close to the coastal trail along Cook Inlet. Shuttle service was very flexible for us!

“What A Dump!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2007
4
people found this review helpful

We found this hotel in "Alaska For Dummies" which said it was very "quaint". In fact, it was a DUMP! We were the real dummies for booking it. Even though we booked months in advance, we were given a basement room which had no windows, filthy carpeting, bedlinens that looked unchanged from the previous guests, disgusting bathroom. All this for $160 per night!!! Do NOT stay here.

Stayed June 2007
