Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Coast Inn at Lake Hood

8/10 Good

"The hotel could use a good cleaning and dusting. Plus some updating. But the price was amazing for this place. The staff were kind and helpful. It was so worth it."

Creekwood Inn

2/10 Terrible

"Staff are nice and helpful, but that's where the good things stop. Do NOT stay here if you have children or are a female. The main issue is safety. - There are a lot of drugged-out people and homeless around the property. - Don't expect to sleep until around 1-2am until the police show up and kick out the domestic that's happening beside you. - The rooms are a bit dirty and are run down (live electrical wires, peeling bathtub, holes in the furniture)"

Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very nice and accommodating. The shuttle drivers were great. The hotel was clean and the room was sufficient, a tad outdated. It appeared they were doing some upgrades. My room had new carpeting and updated furniture, but the walls were bare. It appeared they were working on it one thing at a time. The breakfast was very basic; decent eggs and sausages, plenty of seating. It’s right next to the Alaska Railroad station. Some restaurants are close; ask the shuttle to take you up the hill, easier walk back is downhill."

Ramada by Wyndham Anchorage

4/10 Poor

"Older hotel. Coating in bathtub was coming up. The floor was starting to lift up could be a trip hazard. They said they had shuttle to and from the train station. They took us there. When we got back to the train station we called them and they said they didn’t have a driver for the shuttle. Very disappointed. It looked like they were helping the homeless. But maybe do a food drop off or something. Not very impressed with the whole place.😟"
