Highland Glen Lodge
This was hands down the best place I have stayed in Anchorage! Loved the bug bath tub. Bed was comfortable, everything was quiet, and breakfast was DELICIOUS!

Motel 6 Anchorage, AK - Midtown
It's not a clean property. For a relatively newer hotel you'd think the place was still in good condition but it's not. I appreciate the price because I needed to stay longer than normal, but it wasn't a comfortable place to stay.

Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport
The room was filthy and unsafe. There was exposed wiring and a bag taped over the fire detector. The refrigerator had old food stuck in it. It was dusty and dirty.
