Motel 6 Anchorage, AK - Midtown
"Due to the season, room was quite expensive however, cheaper than most other hotel rooms for the area. Although dated, room was unkept. Could have used more shower amenities ….there was only soap. Also wished they had breakfast instead of just coffee"

Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek
"Okay but way over priced for this older facility. Even if the pool was not closed we would not go in. Didn't stay for breakfast, or used parking and chose for its shuttle and proximity to the train station"

Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anchorage Airport
"Very convenient for being right next to the airport and a good place if your time in Alaska is short. The surrounding area is quiet but wish there were more things around that’s walkable distance for those who don’t have car rentals"
