Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Coast Inn at Lake Hood

10/10 Excellent

"It’s nice to be able to eat without going out. Good food."

Merrill Field Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and it indeed had a kitchenette with a small stove. But absolutely no utensils to use the kitchenette, Not even a skillet or a pot. So I think it was unusable. We could not cook even a small dinner. The table to eat at was very small. Also, a shuttle picked us up from the airport in 50 min but it was probably a miscommunication between the driver and the reception, Then in the morning, the shuttle was on time and we came to the airport exactly as the receptionist assumed, which is more important."

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."
