Top University Area Hotel Reviews

My Place Hotel - Anchorage, AK

8/10 Good

"Shuttle was great. Room a bit noisy. No utensils in the little kitchen provided in the room"

Qupqugiaq Inn

8/10 Good

"I was on a budget solo trip to Alaska for 8 days. I stayed her the first night in Ancorage and the last night since it was near the airport. It's basic accomodations and a place to sleep. The shared baths were fine. I never had to wait to shower either time. There is a kitchen and gathering are near the I lobby. It has a hostel feel but with private rooms. Both stays I had a twin bed. The staff was very friendly and they offer free cofee. I felt it was clean and secure for an older building."
