I stayed at the Travel Inn while attending a conference in Alaska. It was one of the only options available at an affordable price (lodging in Anchorage is super expensive). The stay was not great, but it had about the minimum you would expect for the cheapest option around. I had read a lot of comments online from a while ago mentioning bed bugs and such and was therefore a little stressed and very cautious, but those issues seem to have been fixed: I didn’t see any bugs in the room and checked the mattress under the sheets, which had a thick sealed plastic mattress protector around it and no trace of bugs. I will say, the bed was big and I found it surprisingly very comfortable. The area seemed a little sketchy but nothing too crazy. My main issue with the room was the cleanliness level: it had been cleaned, but very superficially (mystery stains in the bathroom, unknown scraps of food in the fridge, sticky remote control, very dusty corners, etc.) so I had to clean a few things myself.
The front desk person was super nice, welcoming and helpful. He really tried his best and I truly appreciated that. It seems the hotel is understaffed and might have difficult clients. I think these are most likely the main issues.
If you’re on a budget in Anchorage and stay at the Travel Inn, you won’t have the best experience in the world but you’ll be fine.
