Aspen Suites Hotel Anchorage North

8/10 Good

"Clean, quiet, and spacious rooms. Friendly and helpful staff, provided excellent assistance with late check-in."

Merrill Field Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I wanted a cheaper place and in what some would consider to be a less preferable neighborhood. I was very satisfied with my stay here, it was within my budget. The employees were very helpful, easy to talk to and had a great sense of humor. I did not come here expecting perfection and to be perfectly honest I was very happy with what I did get. The AC worked, the heater worked. The TV worked and had multiple stations. I was pleasantly surprised with the large space of the room itself, I did not feel cramped whatsoever. I was happy to look out my window and see that they had a dog walking area and so I know it could be a good future place to come with my dog. The breakfast was definitely Continental but I have to say those muffins were fantastic and I honestly appreciated that they were sliced in half because it allowed me to get two different flavors and not overindulge on just one. I very much appreciate the ample parking and the shuttle service so that I could go pick up my rental car. Genuinely enjoyed my stay here and I will happily recommend it to all of my friends if they are traveling on a budget like I was. There are also a great many things within short distance of this hotel, good food, good local culture stores, nice lettuce. Walgreens not too far. And the coffee huts! Also, I love planes. So getting to hear them anytime I stepped outside or opened the window, amazing. Thank you for a great experience."
