They pick you up from the airport, which is not very far away. They have a freezer for your fish and additional dry storage if you need. There is a continental breakfast. The rooms are nothing special, but some have refrigerators and they have some cable. more

After reading very mixed reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly and helpful, even looking up bus schedules for us so we could ride the bus downtown after turning in our rental car. We took the 5 am shuttle to the airport. Usually breakfast is put out at 5 am,... more

Took my son with me we were going to be traveling out of state the next day. They were more then happy to get me in a room, prob. cause nobody else wanted to stay there. We were given a room where we had to practically walk around the block to get to it. It was absolutely disgusting. huge stains... more

I don't know why this place has received such poor reviews. We stayed here out first night in Anchorage and could not have been more pleased. We stayed in one of the deluxe rooms in the main building ($170 a night - not bad for July). Our room is huge with 2 queen beds and the bathroom is very big.... more

I stayed here one night. The airport shuttle took forever to come and I finally took a cab to the hotel. The cheapest rooms are in the oldest part of the hotel. The rooms was small, dark, and really depressing. The walls were paper thin and I could hear everything said in the room next door and they were just... more

We made the Puffin Inn our home-base in Alaska. We stayed there the night we arrived in Anchorage and, after one night, decided to book a reservation for the last two days of our vacation. We ended up staying here for 5 days. From the time we got on the Puffin Inn's airport shuttle, through the check-in/check-out, and all that... more

We made a reservation and secured it with our credit card. We arrived at 9 pm and were given a room that had an overwhelming smell of urine. When I sat at the desk to call the office and opened the guest book it was full of little red bugs. We beat a path to the front desk, where they... more

Management response from
Jimfre, General Manager

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to comment on the Puffin Inn. I am deeply sorry that your stay was not satisfactory. I see here that your review was in December, but it appears that your stay was in the summer. I just want to assure you that the new management team (established in October 2008) is sensitive...

My aunt and I stayed here 2 seperate nights during our week in AK. We chose this hotel because it was close to the airport, it's no smoking policy, and the breakfast. We had no trouble locating the hotel in the dark. Our room was on the 2nd floor in the old motel-looking section. We lugged our suitcases up the... more

This hotel has been recently remodeled - half of it is new and the other half is an older roadside motel. The hotel required us to sign a notice about the non-smoking room and said that we would have to pay about $300 if we smoked in the room. We requested non-smoking and were given a room on the old... more

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 on all 3 occasions. The rooms in the main building are bigger and more expensive and I think worth the premium charged. The rooms in the... more
