Good value in Anchorage

We stayed here on 3 separate nights in July/August 2008. The hotel is well run and the staff are generally friendly and helpful. The rooms vary in quality although the beds were very comfortable...

Please beware!

Our experiences with Puffin Inn were not good. First, the booking website incorrectly listed 1 guest instead of 3. When I tried correct the information, they would not. We picked the hotel because of...

Way overpriced

Stayed here the night we arrived in Anchorage. The one good thing I can say is the free shuttle from the airport was prompt & courteous. The rooms are normal sized, however, the beds are extremely...

We were booked by Alaska Air for a 4 hour lay over when we missed our Fairbanks connecting flight due to a medical emergency on board. I was quite concerned since this was going to be a free...

Value for money

We stayed there two nights (once at the start of our trip and once at the end of our trip). Located mid-way between the airport and the downtown area, the hotel is a great bargain if you have your own...

What a rip-off

I can't even comment on the rooms as we were turned away... Our flight was delayed and we called to give a current CC number to guarantee late arrival. When we arrived to check in we were informed...

Lobby is lovely, the continental breakfast is good, the room was large, quiet, and comfortable, the free wifi worked without any problems... I was told by friends the property had a bad reputation...

Hoodwinked in Anchorage.

This was one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed at. The web site looks wonderful - but beware, this is not what you get. The web site says completely remodled. Some is but we were moved to the...

I have read a couple of reviews here, and I thought i would give the public a fair review. The Puffin Inn does not over market or upscale our website to sell rooms. In fact we do the opposite. We...

Don't Stay at the Puffin Inn

WisconsinMadison, Madison, Wisconsin — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 21:29:08 GMT

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 1 of 5 stars

This hotel was dirty (filthy, mildewed shower for example), worn and one of the worst hotels experienced in years of travel. The staff was lethargic and uniformed and it took four phone calls to get...

We have been staying at the puffin inn for at least 8 years. Sometimes in the summer it is only $10.00 more to stay at the Captain Cook in downtown. Winter time you can't beat the puffin new section....
