Anchorage Motel
"The room was quite clean & the staff were very friendly & nice. Natale & other office staff were very welcoming & helpful. Great location - Itโs walking distance to the downtown & a quick drive to the Acadia National Park. Suggestion - I would say they need to replace the two mattresses in the room we stayed in. They were very soft & kinda sinking in the middle & my sleep was impacted because of it."
