Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Puffin Inn of Anchorage

8/10 Good

"It I"

Hyatt Place Anchorage Midtown

8/10 Good

"I thoroughly enjoyed my 3-day stay here. The highlight was definitely the delicious morning breakfast and the breathtaking mountain views. I made a point to wake up early every morning just to watch the sunrise over the mountains, and it was completely worth it. Next time when I visit I will stay at the same place."

Merrill Field Inn

8/10 Good

"We had our flights changed and the Inn let us come back to our room before check out time to get some much needed sleep. Their driver was our taxi to and from the airport multiple occasions and even took us around town a bit. I am extremely anxious about bed bugs and when I saw how old the room looked I was concerned but the room was very clean!! The only thing that would make this five stars would be that the shower head was not working very well and it was luke warm water. Other than that it was fabulous. The driver (I forget his name) was excellent. Great humor. If me and my hubby are back we will stay again and definitely catch a ride with him again!!"
