An older place and a bit run down but the rooms were clean enough. No WIFI and I would not want to hand out much there but we just needed a place to sleep so this worked out well.
It's a good place to sleep. We stayed there on three separate occasions during a two week period. There are what appears to be illicit activities going on in the area but these people never bothered any of the motel patrons. The staff do their best to keep them at bay and the police drive through now and them. Fine place to sleep if that's all you need.

Nice stay
Our stay was nice and very near to downtime. But the hotel condition was not so good. It was not clean .
But OK for stay. They even got us a new refrigerator on our request which was awesome.
If they can clean a bit it would be 5 stars.
CLEAN & quiet & convenient & friendly staff (even though you don't get to communicate with them face to face)... & a GREAT diner attached to the hotel.
There were a lot of homeless people living near my car and blocking the walkway. The room was very small. The ceiling fan was loud and dirty. The sheets were clean, and so were the towels.

Poor location but comfortable bed.
The hotel is in a sketchy location, a number of inebriated folks wondering in the vicinity. Libby is poorly lit. The room was dingy but the bed was surprisingly comfortable and the shower was clean and the water hot.

Tired but clean
Pretty tired building inside and out, but clean at least. Facilities basic. Fine for a short stay but wouldn't want to spend much time there. Cheapest place I could find in Anchorage but double what I'd pay for such a place anywhere else

Its very old and the area is not that good.the room is a little dirty and dark.look like and old apartments.
I stay here everytime I’m in Anchorage. I can stay anywhere else in this city but I choose here. My new spot in town. When you come you should try the Japanese restaurant too it’s good stuff
First off, on our way there, the Uber driver said he would not let his family stay there. The facility was so odd, old and just creepy. It was clean and the staff was friendly, but we booked a different hotel even after we paid for this one. The TV was literally cracked and broken, the windows were closed up, there was no way to lock the door from the inside. I could go on and on.
You get what you pay for. Econo Inn is no frills, except the $10 round trip airport shuttle. The bed was comfey, the A/C noise drowned out some of the road noise, and the room was pretty clean.

It’s a place to rest
It was a decent place for the money. Was surprised about the amount of homeless people in area but the property felt safe enough. Front desk seemed to be on it about visitors and late night guests. The golden reason this place was chosen is because of the 24 hour airport shuttle. Happy to use the shuttle back and forth. 5 dollars per person.
Pretty sketchy, won’t be back…
Most money I’ve ever paid ($135) for a “low budget” stay. Beds were clean/good, but the place needs updating and smells FuNkY. Lots of yelling by customers and staff, lots of people lurking around outside.
Room was clean, and shower functional. The Japanese restaurant on premises was excellent! Other than that not a great experience. The hallways are dark and seem dirty. The staff peoole were either absent or unhelpful, except the guy who came to fix the bathroom door knob, which was about to fall off when we arrived. The downtown area is depressing. Spend a bit more and stay in a better part of town.
