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 in the past, but it seems to be in fine shape now. Recently remodeled. more

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 last rooms - a long and dangerous walk with suitcases. The staff is very cranky - and way overworked to... more

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 the hotel van to pick us up at the airport. I can't understand how anyone could give this motel a positive review. We were placed... more

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. If you've ever stayed in the old section you won't do that again. its like having a 1 star hotel inside... more

We liked it. Nice place, nice people, convenient location, shuttle, very functional with things like mini-fridge + microwave in room. Looks a bit shabby from the outside, but no complaints otherwise - clean, convenient, has everything a traveler needs and a few things on top of that. Would recommend to others and will use again more

The room was $69.00 a night (the website showed $79 but i called and got a better rate.) for two queen beds, a fridge, microwave, and stove top. First the good: the... more

On arrival and checking-in we were assigned a room in their "annex", the Chandler Inn just around the corner. No mention of this was anywhere to be found, on any site. No services are available at this location, we had to carry our luggage up the stairs to the third floor, ice and soda were available at the Puffin Inn... more

This is your basic, clean, no-frills (except for the nice breakfast) airport hotel. It has a 24-hour shuttle from the airport, and is located on Spenard Ave., within walking distance of the float plane airport, which is nice to walk around. Don't expect luxury, at least in the older of the three buildings, where I stayed. But it was clean,... more

We booked the deluxe room. surpassed expectations. large room with two comfortable beds and spacious bath. Located near airport and restaurants. Nice breakfast although seating is limited. Everything was clean and new. more
