• Have a laundry and a dryer facility.
• Beds placed on the hallway side are noisy; the heating boiler pipes are noisy.

“I know it as one of the older hotels in anchorage.”

• Great wifi can. Old fashioned feel. 6 hobs.
• No continental breakfast.

“Family owned and run motel. Very cheap for Alaska where you have to just about double the prices you would expect to pay in the lower 48. Clean and warm. Little bit shabby. Strong showers.”

• It was in a good location to the Airport.
• The Parking lot was very small.

“The hotel offered services such as a wake up call, which never happened. Their parking was too small and cramp, to the point where it would be easy to get a finder binder by mistake. They also had parking in the back, which would make it incontinence for those you are on business. If there was a rating I would rate them as -10 for being dysfunction, but a 5 for being close to the airport. They also had a kitchenette in their rooms, which can be good for many who would use it, so for that I give a 4.”

• Available at short notice; front desk help friendly.
• Noise; terrible bed; generally seedy feeling.

“We were desperate to find lodging within a range that justified us not making five additional trips of 147 mi. each plus wear/tear. You always had to sit on the less than comfortable bed to watch TV - no chairs whatsoever. It's in a part of town that made you wonder if everything in your car was going to be there in the morning or even if the car was going to be there in the morning! If we had not been desperate, we would not have even considered staying in this hotel.”

• Leaving.
• The idea that housekeeping would leave your room open all day vulnerable to theft.

“This place is dangerous! They left the door of my room open all day while I was in Kenai on business. I returned at 11:30 PM and the door was propped open. I called the front desk and they said they would send someone right up to check for stolen items and possible intruders - no one ever showed up by 2:05 AM when I finally finished this review and went to sleep. I will never come back here and recommend that no one ever stay here. My room was only partially cleaned and the place is dirty.

• 1 room too hot, 1 room too cold, loud people around all times of the night.

• There was nothing good that I could say about this hotel.
• The location was in an extremely risky part of town. And the hotel was old with narrow hallways. The carpet was not clean, the rooms not finished.

“The hotel is located in Spenard an area of town with much crime. The hotel is very old with narrow long hallways. The hotel did not look or feel clean. The bed and bathroom were clean but the overall appearance was not good. I did not stay at this hotel but purchased another hotel for my stay in Anchorage. I recommend this hotel be removed from your list.”

• They do seem to be in the process of remodel and one of their staff was trying to be helpful.
• Service was lousy, no towels were available nor were any ever provided, did not feel secure.

“The hotel manager was very rude and did not provide any service when I complained about not receiving any bath towels during my entire stay. Did not feel secure in this neighborhood or hotel. The outside doors were left ajar and the back parking lot was cluttered with junk, cigarette butts and darkly lit. The hotel lobby did not have any cream for coffee and there were crumbs on the counter that had not been cleaned all day.”

• The 16 year old young man that ran the front desk was very cordial.
• The room was still an old room with noisy heating and the renovation was only partially completed.

“I cringed as soon as I saw that the old Eagle's Nest hotel. The hotel appears to be under renovation, however it is apparent that is being done as cheaply and unprofessionally as possible. The walls are paper thin, the room was not very clean, and the heating system made noise all night long.”

• The price was not too bad and at least got a hot shower.
• Bed pillows with yellow and brown stains. Thin walls and noisy neighbors. Mickey Mouse plumbing. No towel rack or hooks in the bathroom.

“It seemed that they had started to remodel the room, but with very poor quality fixtures and poor workmanship. The room was dirty and did not smell very nice. One of the pillows on the bed was so filthy, we moved it as far away from the bed as possible. Compared to the Best Value Inn and Executive Suites that we stayed in last week in Anchorage this was very disappointing. There was not a continental breakfast and we were told that they only have that available in the summer. This is probably the poorest quality room that we have had in over 10 years of staying in hotels in Anchorage.”

• Nothing.
• Everything.

“Would not use this hotel again if I could help it.”

• The rooms were large and clean.
• It felt like an unsafe location.

“I was surprised when the mgmt charged me $10 for an extra bed. I had two children with me. The emergency exit door alarm went off several times during the night and would stay on for a long time. Making sleep very difficult. There was no continental breakfast.”

• Cheap.
• Old, no parking space, poor construction, terrible tile floors, and very bad room layout.

“A very old and run down establishment left over from an era gone by. Tile floors throughout the rooms is very bad on the feet. Antiquated stove with a small fridge with a freezer overflowing with ice build up definitely made you want to eat out. The overall construction was very poor with ill-fitting tiles on the bathroom walls, exposed plumbing, and afterthought fire sprinklers with unfinished sheetrock covering the pipe work. The "kitchen" has the only TV and the room is so filled by the queen bed that there is no where to actually eat if you were to cook anything. The "bedroom" would be OK (aside from the tile floor), but there is no TV in that room. The only phone is in that room and there is no data port on the phone, so you must plug your laptop into the wall jack. Then expect only to connect to your dial-up provider at the 26K rate due to the split-line wiring of the building. This place just isn't worth it.”

• Upgrade room was nice and reasonably priced. Would have liked more carpet or throw rugs. One bed good, the other not.
• Was necessary to upgrade room. Bargain room price was attractive and a way to attract customers who would then want to upgrade.

“Staff honesty greatly appreciated. In a public area of the lobby, I misplaced a back pack with items personally valuable to me, and they held it behind the counter awaiting my return. Parking and security policies were somewhat inconvenient. Hotel is undergoing renovation and should be quite nice when finished.”

• It was very clean and the price was good.
• Lack of amenities such as a clock in the room.

“I would recommend this hotel only for people who are on a very tight budget. It was clean and the staff were pleasant enough, but it lacks amenities that I expect in a chain hotel, such as carpeting, an alarm clock in the room, a TV remote that works, and an ice machine. This was an independent hotel until apparently just recently.”
