Manager Max was very kind, and even helped me out in a time crunch with transportation to a medical apptmt! I loved the corner room with two windows for cooling airflow during a sunny stay in Anchorage. Security staff were very friendly, as was the (watch?)dog. My room was immaculate, and the bed and pillows were super comfy. The only "noise" was occasional laughing from entrance crew, and I'd NEVER complain about laughter! Mark at the desk gave me good walking directions to places I needed to go, and people on the city buses were also helpful guiding me to stops. The small marketstore nearby had yummy frozen options I could microwave for dinner and even ripe avocados! It was great having the clean little fridge in my room for keeping drinks and fresh goods handy. I was greeted warmly every time I came and went, and staff asked after me between medical appointments (which is why I was in Anchorge). There was always a clean, well-supplied bathroom available when I needed, and it being down the hall was no problem - it reminded me of some nice hostels I've stayed at in Seattle. The kitchen was sweet, with free coffee, a small table I could eat meals at, and was well stocked with utensils and cooking supplies. And with all that, it was VERY AFFORDABLE for last minute booking mid-tourist season. Would stay there again for sure!
