Great location. We picked this hotel for the airport shuttle. The shuttle is not operating and they would not send taxi or reimburse for taxi/uber fees. Disappointing. Hotel is old and is a great location for walkig Anchorage. Not a great neighborhood, we were two backpacking guys looking for a room for 1 night.

Roach Motel

The Econo Inn is the epitome of a skeezy motel. It's in a rough part of town, and is not well-kept. The room smelled dank, and the TV was broken. There was no window in our room. There were drugged-out people hanging about the building, climbing into the dumpsters and yelling into the night. It even sounded like someone was barking outside of our door. Not really a safe or clean place to stay.

First off, on our way there, the Uber driver said he would not let his family stay there. The facility was so odd, old and just creepy. It was clean and the staff was friendly, but we booked a different hotel even after we paid for this one. The TV was literally cracked and broken, the windows were closed up, there was no way to lock the door from the inside. I could go on and on.

This property is more of a homeless shelter than a hotel. Room was barely ok and the lobby was dirty. My taxi driver said the place was unsafe so be watchful.
