Clean and pleasant rooms. Got early check in and late check out which was appreciated. Noisy neighbors on both nights of our stay unfortunately, walls are not very thick.

Anchorage Inn
Carpet and overall room worn and dated. First room TV did not work. Could not get any sleep in the next room due to the noise and the hotels outside lights shining directly in my window. Staff not very helpful or courteous.
