Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Puffin Inn of Anchorage

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room, shuttle was useful, and staff was friendly."

Highliner Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good parking. Stayed here x 2 in one week at the beginning and end of our trip. Outside appeared to be still under construction in back or at least being updated. Lobby was clean...and both times our front desk staff was above and beyond being friendly and helpful. Does not have an elevator. Rooms were very nice...looked recently constructed or remodeled..very nice bathroom with shampoo, shower gel and conditioner. Our room was near highway/street but still slept good. No airport shuttle but UBER and taxi available"

Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anchorage Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful. When we returned our rental car, they picked us up at the airport. Having a washer and dryer on the premises was so helpful. The machines were large and very maintained. Our room was spacious and we rested very well. I highly recommend this hotel."

Merrill Field Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were a little apprehensive driving to this place as it appears to not be a fantastic part of town...but it's obvious this motel has been renovated in the last so-many years. It's not modern by any means, but the work done is high quality. No paint chipping anywhere or anything like that. Everything was super clean including the exterior building and parking lot area. It's very well maintained. You can tell it's loved. Bed was comfortable. Would stay there again."
