We chose the La Quinta near the Anchorage Airport for its convenience, and in that regard, it delivered. The free and easy parking was a definite benefit, and the staff was consistently friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, our stay was let down by the room itself. It was dated and didn't reflect the modern feel we saw in the online photos. The most significant issue was a strong, lingering odor—a mix of moisture and old smoke—that was present for all four nights. We were also disappointed to find the carpet full of what looked like dog hair when we first checked in. While the staff did clean it promptly after we reported it, it's not something we should have had to deal with upon arrival. The bathroom was an old-style tub/shower combo, which also showed its age. At over $200 per night, we felt the room's condition and cleanliness were not up to par.
