Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport
Happy for bath tub. Didn't know we had to take our own trash out, otherwise would charge us $25 a bag of trash to be thrown in bin. Another kind guest informed us otherwise we would have paid $75 if house keeping took the trash out. Wish there was better parking otherwise get back to room early.
