Sleep and go!

I really wanted to give this hotel a good review, but the guests next door and upstairs were rowdy and noisy. Other than that, I have no complains. It was a nothing special hotel, public transportation nearby. Good enough to sleep and go

I accidentally locked my room key in my room without shoes on. I had to walk to the front desk barefoot and theres excessive broken glass everywhere there. It seems to be in a neighborhood that has given up on itself. All the hotels I saw in Alaska are more run down than the continental USA, but this hotel and the area it is in, seems to be worse. Maybe there are limitations I am not aware of for cleaning the parking lot. The rooms were extremely clean and decorated in a simple and cute way. There are no bathtubs. The stairs to get up to my room were extremely rickety and weather beaten. Nice hotel staff to me, but they were talking poorly about the drug addicts outside and yelled at them. It was an unpleasant environment. They were clearly kind to "wealthy" people but not kind to other humans they deemed to be less than them. That's disappointing to see. I would not stay here again.

I've tried so hard to make this place work. It's a great stopover when our flights are delayed or we need a one-night place. I've stayed there over 10 times over the years and a couple of years ago new management came in and things were getting better. But I draw the line on finding hair of all kinds in my sheets. I know this place gets a lot of one-night stays and at this point, I don't think they're turning over these rooms. The sheets were filthy. I know they are redoing rooms, but not providing clean sheets is bad.

Disappointed

I’m not trying to be rude, but I would not recommend, nor would I stay here again. They are undergoing some remodeling, but this particular room was very old. Some of the furniture was severely stained and lamp shade was damaged. The bathroom was clean enough, but in general the room was not clean (long hairs on the bed and floor, pillow cases were yellowed/old). The staff was nice though and check in/out was easy. The lobby area was nice and continental breakfast were adequate, but not enough to make up for the room. I was hoping for a “local” place to stay, as opposed to just staying in a “chain”/brand name but next time will do more research and stick with a familiar brand hotel.
