We stayed here as it was one of the few hotels under $100 in Anchorage. As I was getting into bed I noticed there were hairs on the sheets, as if they had not been changed. DH went to the lobby and they sent someone to change the sheets within 20 minutes but the damage had been done, it felt... more

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at If I had a tent and sleeping bag with me I would have happily used them instead of this very dirty, disgusting place. I couldn't believe the grime on the telephone, light switch and other places. The lobby area was totally filthy and the continental breakfast was mostly non-existent. Never... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel with our two little children. We were planning to stay 6 nights and stayed only 2. We would have stayed less if we could have arranged for another place sooner. First, I must admit the positive things about this hotel: Low cost, no extra charge for our children, downtown location, early check... more

If you're looking for a clean bed to crash in and you're fortunate enough to be without a sense of smell, go for it. The room (301) was clean, despite cigarette burns on the floor and a lack of basic ammenities like the promised ironning board mentioned on their website. I managed to get an iron from the friendly folks... more

The Econo Inn is basic but very good value in my opinion. In a town where hotel prices rocket in the summer, good value is hard to come by. I actually stayed here on 2 separate occasions and if you are looking for somewhere clean and cheap to rest your head for the night only 10 minutes walk from the... more

Just stayed at the Econo Inn July 12, 2007. Only needed a bed and hot shower for one night prior to a cruise out of Seward. My husband and I stayed with out two children. IT FIT OUR NEED. We simply wanted a clean bed and hot shower. That's what we got. We also got free shuttle from airport, to... more

Stayed one night based on a sole favorable review on Orbitz. Mistake. Inexpensive, but not worth the savings over, say, the Days Inn down the street. Room was small, musty, warm, noisy. A clunky air conditioner on wheels with a vent hose took up space, but was broken and unusable. The ceiling fan was grimy and made noise. The room... more

My husband and I were hoping for a cheap place for a night before heading to Seward - what a mistake! It smelled worse than a VFW hall (tobacco smoke) despite all of the windows being open and a recent change in the local fire code which banned smoking in hotel rooms. The ceiling fan was completely encrusted in a... more

My parnter and I had spent the week touring Alaska and got back to Anchorage very late on our last night. Because we just wanted a clean place to sleep for a few hours at an affordable price, we chose the Econo Lodge and it was a great choice. Other "value" hotels in Anchorage are ridiculously overpriced, including one that... more

AS previous clean small rooms but who is in the room??? Breakfast free is muffins and juice and coffee. Free shuttle available and frendly. I was told in the winter they rent rooms by the week and month so the clientelle may be different than the people there in the summer, but I would go back and pocket the difference... more
