This property is great for an overnight stay before an early morning flight out of Anchorage airport. There is a free shuttle service to airport, which is only a few miles away. The property is an easy Uber or taxi ride from downtown anchorage. The neighborhood is unremarkable but some dining options within easy walking distance. Friendly, helpful staff.

It is a get the job done stay. Clean, breakfast in the lobby, they'll pick you up at the airport, AC worked, quiet. But the location is on Spenard - notorious for homelessness. This location is far away from that and closer to the airport. Not a glamorous, high-end hotel, but they take care of the rooms, and I felt safe. :)
