We had an amazing stay at this Merrill Field hotel in Anchorage! The entire staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. A special shout-out to Anthony—thank you for your kindness, sense of humor, and all the shuttle rides (even though we probably drove you a little crazy!). You truly made our visit memorable, and we appreciate everything you did for us. We definitely left our mark all the way from Fresno, CA—hope you don’t forget us anytime soon! This Hotel offered shuttles to and from Airport, Downtown and also provides Breakfast! If ever we are in Anchorage again, we will definitely be staying there!

The staff at the hotel were phenomenal. Several of them went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I's stay was good. Our first room we were given was not cleaned properly and I went asked the front desk for clean sheets, Jason (front desk) responded "I can do better then that," and he proceeded to put us in of the best rooms in the whole hotel. Jason went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied. When we checked out we were given a ride on the hotel shuttle to to the airport. I don't remember the name of the driver who worked at the hotel but I really good guy! Very friendly, we had a great conversation to the airport. He was professional and courteous. This hotel is near downtown Anchorage which is convenient and even though there was some homeless population outside of the hotel property the hotel property itself felt safe and secure. This hotel is a great value for travelers looking for somewhere to stay while checking out the beauty of Alaska!

No restaurant. No shuttle.

Website description and staff said airport shuttle available.when I called desk I was told shuttle wouldn’t start until May! Disappointed because that’s why I chose the hotel. Also website said restaurant on site but it was closed. Property very old and needs update. Kitchenette had no pots or dishes or cutlery. No coffee or tea set up. No cup that could be used in microwave. I wouldn’t stay there again. Disappointed with the inaccuracy. Difficult to plan without honest information
