The Wildbirch Hotel - JDV by Hyatt

Motel 6 Anchorage, AK - Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel & room. Initially placed in a room downstairs near the entrance & front desk. It was very noisy so we asked for another room. They quickly gave us another one on the 2nd floor. It was clean and quiet. Thanks!"

Merrill Field Inn

8/10 Good

"We had our flights changed and the Inn let us come back to our room before check out time to get some much needed sleep. Their driver was our taxi to and from the airport multiple occasions and even took us around town a bit. I am extremely anxious about bed bugs and when I saw how old the room looked I was concerned but the room was very clean!! The only thing that would make this five stars would be that the shower head was not working very well and it was luke warm water. Other than that it was fabulous. The driver (I forget his name) was excellent. Great humor. If me and my hubby are back we will stay again and definitely catch a ride with him again!!"

Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anchorage Airport

8/10 Good

"Convenient, clean, reasonably priced. Pretty close to the airport car parking. Our flight left at 2 am."

Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek

10/10 Excellent

"Free parking. Helpful staff. 10 mins from downtown. Nice river view behind hotel."
