8/10 Good

"Guide to tv channels was not in room. The desk gave us a house copy that needed to be returned. More convenient to have it in each room on a continuous basis."

Anchorage Inn and Resort

4/10 Poor

"Have stayed multiple times at this location over past couple months so would think there would be some type of a deal for repeat people. Most recent visit walking up to room all you could smell was weed. Bathroom had water damage. Other than that the building was decent. Lot of updates going on with the rooms which is nice. "
