We ended up with a room that was in a back hole under the stairs. The window looked out at another room across the way (no natural daylight). The security light streamed in the room through cutrains that couldn't be close. The bed fell off the frame and twisted. We were able to put it back on to sleep. The... More

There is no heat steam in room just because of summer season even though current degree is 35. Only if you are strong in cold weather, use this hotel rooms.

I am living in this hotel as i write this. If you're expecting 4 star accommodations then you may look elsewhere. this hotel, for what is provided, is actually quite good. on site laundry and airport shuttle is available which makes this a good choice for budget travelers going through anchorage as well as people in my situation who are...

To be honest now the room was fine but there was a real pungent smell around the place and the staff at the front desk couldn't of been less helpful, you'd swear they didn't want your business at all... but it was cheap so guess you get what you pay for. If you're on a budget then go for it... More

I booked this hotel due to a fantastic rate ignoring all of the negative reviews and I'm glad I did. I arrived substantially earlier than the published check-in time and the front desk agent graciously allowed me to check-in without hesitation. I found my room quite clean, television was modern flat screen and offered an adequate selection of channels. Heating... More

I believe that people were not being fair when they reviewed this hotel. I am a resident of Anchorage, and I put two of my visiting guests up in this hotel before reading these reviews. My first guest arrived, and the staff took very good care of him. They did forget about him at the airport (they provide a free... More

Location is great for easy walking access to downtown, the mall, museums, restaurants. This hotel is affordable in summer however I would not stay here again. As soon as I arrived I accosted by the homeless panhandlers. One was hungry but when I offer to buy food at the Counrty Kitchen he declined. Every time I walked out of the... More

Location is great for easy access to downtown. Place is a little run down. Front desk has been "empowered" to do nothing. Any problems and you have to wait until a manager shows up the next day. I had prepaid for a 4 night stay. I wanted to extend it by one night. Rather than just adding a night and... More

The Days Inn in Downtown Anchorage is an affordable place to rest. The staff was friendly. The rooms were dated and grungy, as is the location. This place isn't the typical hotel I would stay in. I happened to be here with friends for a week of play in Anchorage. Would I go back? Not likely. Would I go back... More
