okay so you now how when you go to a hotel the sheets usually are clean, new and matching? Well that's not how they do it at the Spenard. the sheets were floral, solid, mismatched and looked about 15 years old. That I was going to grin and bear. The ciggerate burns and rips in the comforter I was going... More

I made the error of looking for an affordable place to stay. I should have left when they told me I needed a $50 cash deposit to check in and had to prepay the room before getting a key. I was exhausted and needed sleep. Before even getting tro my room I was approached in the parking lot asking if... More

It's a very affordable place to spend a night, and there's nothing comparable near downtown Anchorage, but don't expect sparkling surroundings. My room was clean and bed comfortable and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. A nice Asian family operates this place (3 generations). The location is great (restaurants/ fast food) and there is the bus route right out... More

I apologize to anyone who has stayed here based on my previous review. What a difference a few years can make! It was always dilapidated, but at least it was clean. The minute I walked in, I was on the phone to find another place to stay. We were stuck for one night. They will not give you a refund... More

First off, let's just say I think we were the only ones staying at the Spenard motel that weren't renting either (1) by the month, or (2) (more likely) by the hour. Overall, the room had the ambiance of a Reno truck stop. It smelled like someone had laid in bed watching FOX news and chain-smoking Pall Malls for the... More
