Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport

8/10 Good

"This property is good for the value since it has a pool. The room we got did not look like it was fully cleaned, including a weird sunstance on the chair, a washcloth in the shower from a previous guest and a few things falling apart. The front desk switched our room quickly and the rest of the stay was better. I'd come back."

Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anchorage Airport

8/10 Good

"First room smelled bad so they moved us to a better one that was much better. Was able to take advantage of park and fly which saved on airport parking. Breakfast was ok. Shuttle driver seemed a bit new as he hit curbs turning and wasn’t steady with the gas pedal. Took three calls to get him to pick us up at the airport."
