Puffin Inn of Anchorage

Puffin Inn of Anchorage

8/10 Good
"I stayed here after a Cruise Trip, and it looked like a Decent Place to stay. There weren't allot of Options to choose from in the Price range we were thinking. There was a Bag of Doritos that someone left on the desk if it was cleaned maybe don't forget to pick that up. Room was big, and Beds were Comfy. TV was a little weird where you gotta Stream stuff instead of Regular Channels. Shuttle was good. Staff was very Assertive, Friendly, and didn't act like we were an inconvenience. Shower was great. I liked how they Remodeled it, but still felt a little under done. If your staying the for the night is a Place to put your head on the Pillow. Is it safe? Yes and No. Very cute area of town but I didn't feel as comfortable as other Hotels I've stayed in. But if you were on the Hotel grounds it felt safe. I would recommend, but not for the Whole Week or a Luxurious Stay."
