Would stay again.

The bed was too soft, although the blankets and pillows were great. The breakfast was just a basic breakfast. Nothing special. The shuttle service was timely.

Convenient and Quiet

A nice place for an overnight stay, close to the airport and a shuttle that runs every 30 minutes. The breakfast buffet is basic, but you can make your own waffle.

Nice staff but not a great hotel

The staff is wonderful. We were told they are remodeling soon. The lobby is nice. The rest is very dated. Even with air conditioner on the room was hot. The part of town is not the best but very close to airport.
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent accomodation. Close to shops and walking distance to airport and Spenard Park..
Jennie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Acceptable, but nothing to brag about

Front desk staff was friendly & helpful. Rooms were clean, but old and small. The area of town is very sketchy.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value!

Some of the reviews we seen online about the hotel were not very good. So, we chose to stay one night. I would have stayed here our entire trip. It was a very good hotel and reasonably priced. Well worth it.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Budget hotel that was clean with friendly staff. Our only complaint was the room smelled heavily of chemical cleaning products for the first several hours after check-in
Jordan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Small room!

Room was surprisingly small for $270. Has been updated though. Bathroom was really small. Lobby was nice with animal mounts and nice art. Breakfast was good. No complaints there.
