I want to warn anyone who may be visiting Anchorage NOT to stay at this motel. I would hate for someone to base their impressions of our great state on this dive. I'll just say that I work in the public service industry and that this motel has a lot of "issues". Enjoy Alaska, even if it costs a couple... more

Our experience of this Hotel was appalling and the wording on internet advertising was misleading to say the least..... "attracts a crowd of economizing tourists and hard-working professionals" - we wonder which type of "professional" was meant by this??? The place was all "sleaze" and itinerant workers. We didn't see anyone else who looked vaguely like a tourist! "complimentary parking"... more

Not much for parking, maybe 12 spots for 45 rooms. I was very uncomfortable having to leave my vehicle parked on the street for the night. A group of guys partying outside of their rooms at 3am also made me nervous. The different colored lights outside the rooms added to the creepiness. If I wouldn't have been there with a... more

We stayed at the Anchor Arms our last night in Alaska. We were looking for something with an airport shuttle and not too expensive. At $49/night, we took it. What a mistake! We were upgraded to something that looked like an apartment for long term tenants. There was a living room, full kitchen (without knobs on the stove, not that... more

I've been staying at the Anchor Arms every summer for the past 8 years. The past few years have seen the property slowly decline in quality and service. On my last two visits however I was pleasantly surprised and welcomed by new managment, new attitude and a much cleaner and safer hotel. The new owners have started renovations, hired new... more

I ended up staying here Nov 2004 because there were few other cheap options available around midnight. Don't let the "hotel" part of the name deceive you it was in fact a motel and they coined the term "roach motel" with anchor arms in mind. The room was dressed in depressing 1970's decor with thin cheap stained carpet. There were... more

In their ad they said they have a shuttle to the railroad and airport. Well, they would not pick us up from the railroad and then the next day they would not take us to the airport. They were extremely rude and acted like we had nerve to ask about the shuttle. The rooms were disgusting and the place was... more

I stayed at the Anchor Arms at the end of July and was appaled at the service. In their advertisments they state that they have "safety deposit boxes", which they do not. My wife needed to leave some valuables with them and the woman at the front put a sticky note with our name on it and put it in... more
