This property is more of a homeless shelter than a hotel. Room was barely ok and the lobby was dirty. My taxi driver said the place was unsafe so be watchful.

when we tried to check in, the owner was running around YELLING. there's no clean linens, no cleaners to clean the room, there were 5 couples standing in the lobby trying to check in hearing this. The area was horridous. The smell of the entire place was aweful.

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

Felt extremely unsafe from the moment we turned into the parking lot. Witnessed drug deal in alley before walking in. Everything felt & looked like a half-way house for paroled convicts. Did not stay!
