Highland Glen Lodge
This was hands down the best place I have stayed in Anchorage! Loved the bug bath tub. Bed was comfortable, everything was quiet, and breakfast was DELICIOUS!

Motel 6 Anchorage, AK - Midtown
Toilet backed up so we were handed a plunger. Lobby under construction. Walls are paper thin. Guests yelling in the halls at all hours. We were woken up countless times all night long over multiple nights.

Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek
The room was loud with a train waking me up several times a night. The location was not really walkable and the potholes were bad. The exterior was nice but the room was not great. Parking was free, and breakfast was included.

Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport
Very skimpy on towels. Sitting on the Toilet seat was like a carnival ride. Coffee maker in the room, 2 decaf pods but no cups, sugar, etc. Bfast was mediocre. And everyone was tossed out of the Bfast room at exactly 9 AM. Druggies on the premises. One inside the stairwell.
