The Puffin Inn is conveniently located near the Ted Steven's International Airport and Lake Hood and just 10 minutes from downtown Anchorage, shopping and the Anchorage Railroad. It's still just a short drive from scenic Alaska and all of its natural beauty. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, the Puffin Inn has 4 distinct room styles to perfectly suit your needs. By request of many of our guest, the Puffin Inn is now a completely non-smoking hotel. Plus, new in 2006, all our rooms have air conditioning. Our deluxe section, built in 2001, has spacious, attractively appointed rooms with many comfortable features. Offering a unique blend of comfort and privacy, the Chandler Inn, which houses our boutique style rooms, is a small, completely separate building ?? block from the Puffin Inn. The moderate section building was built in 1984 and remodeled in the spring of 2002. These spacious rooms have exterior entrances making them ideal for hunters, fishermen or families with a lot of gear. While much older and smaller, our original section rooms are a bargain for the budget traveler. Newly remodeled in 2006 with new beds, furnishings, linens and carpet, these rooms are ideal when just a bed will do. Independently owned and operated, the Puffin Inn?s dedicated owner, management and staff have been serving the needs of visitors to Alaska for over 20 years. Near the Airport and Lake Hood - minutes from downtown Anchorage.

Nothing terrible/nothing great

For the price the stay was acceptable, but nothing to write home about. The property has three buildings, and the main one looks nice and modern. I stayed in the smallest building, furthest from the lobby -- I suspect it was another small motel at one point that Puffin Inn bought out. The room was tiny, and though the bedding and furniture was clean, the carpets were in pretty bad shape. The staff was competent, but nothing special, and the complimentary breakfast was definitely not that appealing. It's a clean place to crash, but not a memory maker, for sure.

Great room for a Great Price

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful. A great place to stay in Anchorage while you attend to buisness.

Great location. Great price. Really nice

Needed an overnight place near the airport to fly to a fishing lodge the next day. Puffin Inn was convenient, clean, close and reasonable. The friendly staff was helpful finding us a restaurant. Services and amenities including a substantial free breakfast was more than I expected. 24 hour airport pickup and delivery was fast and timely (no unexplained delays).

Small and not clean

The rooms were extremely small and there was hair all over the bed and in the shower. The hotel did allow dogs which was a plus.

Close to airport

The inn was close to the airport, which was important to us. The room was in the old part of the hotel and was tiny and seemed tired. But it worked for the night before we flew out.
