This place was in a great location, but that's where it ends. The rooms are dirty and the staff is not congenial. Lack of parking forced us to park on the street which was really inconvenient. Didn't get our requested wake up call. Not a great first impression of Alaska.

The hotel was in a pretty good location, on the south side of town right on the Seward Highway. Our room was cute, like an efficiency apartment. Unfortunately, it was a "pet" room and the cleaning staff wasn't very thorough. We got cleaning stuff and cleaned the room ourselves the day we arrived. There was black animal hair everywhere, including on/in the beds. That is really a turnoff if you aren't used to having indoor pets. The room also had a peculiar odor.

The Creekwood Inn is a decent place for the price. You could probably find a better value, but it would take some work.

The motel is pretty old so don't expect a "new" look. The laundry facilities are not well maintained which is my biggest complaint. Otherwise, the Creekwood Inn was one of the cheaper places in Anchorage. It's acceptable for the price, but don't expect much more.

We chose the Creekwood Inn for a weekend visit because it offered affordable rates compared with other hotels in Anchorage and it had one very positive review on TripAdvisor. If you read their website, you would think that this motel was an ideal hideaway linked with greenspace near downtown. Unfortunately, the real picture is somewhat different. On the plus side, the motel was centrally located, had coffee and refrigerators, had spacious rooms and the rates were affordable. On the downside was the fact that despite the motel's advertisement of being quiet, the motel was directly over the flight path of local planes, had only cumbersome and costly internet access, and had no air conditioning or fans which was a problem during hot weather. The only ventilation that was available was through a window in the rear that provided cross-ventilation with an enclosed hallway in the front of the room, which was really no cross ventilation at all. Also, the greenbelt access was inconvenient and the adjacent trailer park left a lot to be desired. Overall, we would try to find a better "affordable" motel in the Anchorage area if we were to return.
