Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Coast Inn at Lake Hood

8/10 Good

"Our stay at Coast Inn at Lake Hood was very pleasant. The room was very comfortable and clean, and the staff was very helpful. Having a shuttle service at the hotel at any time was very convenient for us. And you can't beat the price. Good Stay, convenient place close to the airport."

Merrill Field Inn

4/10 Poor

"The room was nothing like what was in the picture. It was clean but it did look like there might be a blood stain on the carpet. The shuttle driver was very rude because we misunderstood where we needed to be picked up. We were told by airport staff where all hotel shuttles picked up. Apparently this hotel has a different spot, most likely because all the other shuttles would make theirs look really bad. We did keep apologizing but he more or less chewed us out for the misunderstanding. He was very unprofessional and the van used for shuttle service was filthy and so was the driver. The room and van reeked of cigarette smoke, and the faucet and toilet leaked and made noises all night. The woman at the front desk was very nice but the two shuttle drivers we dealt with acted like it was a put out to have to deal with us. We had two nights booked there but cancelled the second night cause I absolutely will not stay there again"

Ramada by Wyndham Anchorage

6/10 Okay

"We only used the shuttle to get us to the civic center for our next destination and reserved it when we checked in. The first room we had was not good at all and requested to be moved which was honored. The hotel had a slight refurb but could definitely use an overhaul of the rooms. We only stayed one night and it was suitable for the price."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anchorage Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great value for the money. Staff - shuttle, front desk, house keeping - could not have done enough for us. So polite and friendly. Hotel maybe a little dated but was clean, comfortable guest rooms, convenience shop located in lobby and had a nice breakfast selection. Close to pizza, pharmacy and gas stations for other necessities. Short 10 minute uber to the downtown. Great for a two day pre-cruise stay!"

The Wildbirch Hotel - JDV by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"We really liked this hotel and the staff was very helpful. The only issue was there were some maintenance issues with the bathroom sink. Also, the road was noisy, but they provided ear plugs. The hotel is walking distance to the train station but there is drug use and homelessness evident in the area."
