Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek

10/10 Excellent

"Clean."

Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anchorage Airport

8/10 Good

"It was a very last minute booking and i am glad they had an available room for me. Their elevator needs an upgrade. Made me nervous every time i take it going up to the 3F. Breakfast selection was good. On my way for check out, i waited for my sister to pick me up so i hang around the lobby around 11am. This lady who was doing the cleaning was kind of intimidating coz she was constantly banging the chairs like giving me a message so I had to move away coz i understood her signal. Otherwise i was glad i was safe."

Highliner Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I sent a message via Expedia that I needed an extra night and it was smooth customer service. Staff during check in and daily were very helpful. This will be our go to place when we visit Anchorage. Just because it’s priced lower doesn’t mean the accommodations and service is lower. Thank you."

Qupqugiaq Inn

8/10 Good

"I was on a budget solo trip to Alaska for 8 days. I stayed her the first night in Ancorage and the last night since it was near the airport. It's basic accomodations and a place to sleep. The shared baths were fine. I never had to wait to shower either time. There is a kitchen and gathering are near the I lobby. It has a hostel feel but with private rooms. Both stays I had a twin bed. The staff was very friendly and they offer free cofee. I felt it was clean and secure for an older building."
