Terrible conditions. Decent location.

The rooms and lobby were nothing as pictured. The windows had curtains that wouldn't close. The furniture was filthy. No amenities in the room. My room was street facing and there was no noise insulation in the room, it was so loud. There was a lot of loud loitering all through the night outside the hotel and no hotel security.

Cheap stay in Anchorage but not bad at all!

This motel is cheap (on Anchorage standards) and quite outdated but it’s way better than many reviews suggest. The staff was really helpful. Every possible issue (clogged drain etc.) were addressed immediately! Even at 10pm. It was unusually cold for a couple of days in June and the central heating had been turned off - the hotel owner/manager went herself to a store, purchased a good space heater and brought it to me. The bed was comfortable, sheets were clean, hot water in the shower that you don’t have to wait for 5 min, internet connection (wifi) was reasonable. If you don’t like junkies and homeless in the parking lot - don’t go to Anchorage in summer! They are everywhere - around a cheap motel and around a 4* Hilton. The hotel is not in control of them. And the police don’t care. I was going on a business trip to Anchorage and refused to pay 300/night for a very basic chain hotel (and this is on a government rate; commercial rates are way higher). I chose Econo Inn to save some government funds and it turned out to be ok. Downsides: (1) outdated interiors both in the room and in the hallways; (2) noisy - bad sound proofing and 2 airports nearby (one with touristic turboprops flying low, another one with F-22s starting to fly at 8am sharp every morning); (3) some renovation going on permanently; (4) no daily room service. I stayed 6 nights - and I would have moved to a different place if that one was bad. I didn’t.

I don’t expect luxury when booking a budget motel, just the basics: a clean room with working ammenities. Unfortunately, this place couldn’t even deliver that. When I checked in, the first room had a broken AC unit. The second room didn’t have an AC unit at all. The third room finally had AC, but it reeked of smoke and had visible cigarette burns on the sink and tub — despite being labeled a non-smoking room. I left my belongings there briefly, went to get dinner, and found alternate accommodations. When I returned to explain the situation, I was refused any refund — not even for the nights I hadn’t stayed yet. Based on what I saw, I’d guess most other tenants aren’t paying the same nightly rate I was charged. Save yourself the stress and spend your money elsewhere. I wish I had.

There’s no denying the property and area it’s located in are scuzzy. The room I stayed in was ok, run down but comfortable enough for the quick overnight I spent there. The tv couldn’t be turned off so I ended up unplugging it. The fire alarm was set off at 4 AM by someone microwaving a hot pocket for 20 minutes. So… not ideal.

Poor location but comfortable bed.

The hotel is in a sketchy location, a number of inebriated folks wondering in the vicinity. Libby is poorly lit. The room was dingy but the bed was surprisingly comfortable and the shower was clean and the water hot.

I did not feel safe at all. There were drug addicts surrounding the building when I arrived and they were allowed to freely come and go throughout the hotel. The room safety lock would not latch. The tv remote was not programmed. The air conditioned did not work. The advertised air transfer shuttle was non-existent. There is no elevator. The ceiling fan was coming out of the ceiling and unusable. There was no ice machines. It felt like a drug rehab building and definitely not recommended for a single female traveling alone.
