I recommend

This is the best functional hotel. 24hr shuttle, clean rooms, enough breakfast at 5am for people on the move.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best value found during many stays in Anchorage

Staff, location, cleanliness are fantastic! Breakfast put out at 5am for early travelers. It is an urban location, which suits me great for convenience of food, transportation, the Inn has a dependable shuttle to the airport not far away; but it's not for folks who want to get away into the woods.

Always an great hotel to stay in while in Anchorag

Our "Go To" hotel when traveling to Anchorage for overnight or multiple days. Shuttle to and from ANC airport makes overnight stays easy. Puffin Inn "main building" rooms are always very clean and beds are excellent! Staff is professional and friendly.

decent

My room was very clean as well as the lobby and rest of the building and in ok condition besides the windows broken handle making it hard to open and close, staff is friendly and uniformed in neat red shirts so you know who can assist you. They have cameras on the hallways and entrances to feel secure.

Smoke Smelling Room

The room was definitely not smoke free, it smelled of smoke so bad.
joshua, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was comfy except the bathroom was a bit dirty with the stains on the wall. The rest are good.
Lye, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great place to stay!

Nice place but lots of homeless people around the area that make it unsafe and only seen one or two cops in the are, a larger police force in the area would make the area safe. Every one was nice and keep to them self, just keep in mind great for people looking for a nice place to stay but not so much if you have a family you need to keep tabs on lol.

Not ready for prime time

I made a reservation on Thursday to check in on Friday afternoon. At 3:30 pm they were surprised I showed up. The room needed to be “readied”. I went to dinner and returned at 8pm. The room smelled like it had been freshly painted.
