“A Nightmare”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2006
7
people found this review helpful

My Room had been burglarized as well as the room next to mine, Management refused to do anything, so I called the police and was treated as a suspect. No refund was given. They allow their Drunken Native "Brothers" to pass out in the lobby and Barf in the hallways and outside. The Bus terminal across the street is where most of the local degenerates and drunks hang out. Ownership of this Dive cares only about the money they will get from unsuspecting travelers and the local low income residents that they cater to. As a Former Anchorage resident, I should have known better.

“Don't ever stay here. really”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2005

people found this review helpful

This has got to be the worst place I have ever had to stay. We walked into our room (#210) to find out that the lights between the beds are almost broken off of the wall, there is a missing bulb in the bathroom fixture, and the bathroom door does not close. There was also a wonderful present. A big stain under the desk, that looked like someone was playing basketball with a piece of poop. I would never make my worst enemy stay here! It is BAD!!

“Prefer the Bates Hotel”

people found this review helpful

Hands down the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was so cramped I kept hitting my head on the TV. The carpeting was dripping wet for some unknown reason, so I slogged about in my flip-flops to stay dry. The front desk did not have a fan or offer another room. Please don't bringing kids here. There were people carrying on outside my window in the parking lot below. Someone was pounding on my door and yelling at 2 AM. I called the front desk and informed them I was checking out. I waited for the door pounder to leave, and quitely made my way to a cab and a nice hotel by the airport. Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't try to save a little money by staying here.

“Truly horrible - don't stay here.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2005
11
people found this review helpful

As a former resident of Anchorage, I should have known better. Planning a weekend trip to Anchorage for my high school reunion, I was sold on the affordable room rate and convenient location offered at the Inlet Inn Motel. I would have been almost as comfortable (and $91 richer) if I had slept on a bench in the bus depot across the street. The check-in process was a hassle, the room reeked of cigarette smoke, the bathroom towels were threadbare, the blankets had cigarette burns.... I could go on and on. Horrible all around. This place is a mess. Inlet Inn Motel is a neglected, ratty pit, and I wouldn't be surprised to find out if they charged by the hour. I would have been mortified if I were traveling with my family and I was faced with staying here. Good thing I was traveling alone this time and I could put up with it for one night. (The room was already paid for and I couldn't cancel.) Do yourself a favor -- spend a little more on your hotel in Anchorage instead of staying here and feeling ripped off like I did.

Stayed June 2005

“Awful unsafe stink-hole.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2004

people found this review helpful

This was the worst hotel I have ever seen. The door to my room had been kicked in, and was glued back together. The room was filthy, the website photos were obviously from another hotel. the walls hadn't seen paint in years, the carpet was filthy, the bed linens stained and worn, the bathroom small and moldy. Please do not stay here.
Also, this was clearly a "residence" inn for several of the local homeless. They must get a low monthly rate. Avoid this death-trap at all costs.
