Across reviews of Travel Inn, guests describe a centrally located budget motel with basic rooms, where some appreciate helpful staff and acceptable comfort, but many report significant cleanliness lapses, maintenance issues, and a rough-feeling surrounding area with traffic noise.
Wi-Fi and TV service are frequently limited or unreliable, and hot water can be slow or inconsistent. Experiences with service vary from welcoming and responsive to hard-to-reach staff and problematic check-in. If price and downtown access matter most, expect very basic, worn accommodations and take precautions regarding cleanliness and neighborhood conditions.

There was nothing I liked.. They put up a fence in front of the stairwell to the second floor to keep vagrants out.. The owner opened my door at 11pm at night with not even a knock.. Had a space heater for warmth.. TV had 5 channels.. The shampoo for the room was used.. No hot water for the bathroom sink.. Cheap bed.. He brought up a comforter when I checked in and toilet paper and towels.. Just a weird place.. No vending machines… This place could of been in the movies..

This property is currently almost closed - it literally is fenced off and apparently undergoing rehab. The room had no glasses and only two towels. I got bitten by bedbugs!! The manager was as helpful as possible, but this place is a Pit!

The pictures on the travel websites where not what the property looked like, no chairs in the lobby, had to wait for the owner to arrive, as he is the only one who does check ins, the bed was a fold up cheap matress, only tv channels were what were "air" channels. The property hosts low income extended stays for most of the back rooms, and the "better" rooms are upstairs at the front of the property. Was on a budget, and the pictures from the search engine looked completely different than what the property looks like. For $150/night, I would find another place to stay, even if its a little further to take Uber or in a close town.

Picked it from an Orbitz list. Flew up from SF. Used twice in a week to stay between Alaska Railroad trips from Anchorage to Fairbanks & back. Austeer but clean. I was on the second floor both stays. Bring your own Walgreens hangers. Water took 2-3 minutes to get from the boiler to my room, but I always had hot water to shower in. Desk sold cokes, etc. The Korean manager went out of his way to call me cabs (my cell phone did not work). He responded to all of the property's age-related deficiencies promptly. Inexpensive restaurants are nearby. Downtown museums, etc. are within walking distance. No real fear of homeless hassles or room or car break-ins. Decent place for short term stay. Parking on site. Room had basic television. Lots of FM stations. I was there in August.

We were desperate for a place to stay on short notice after we missed our connection and landed in Anchorage at 1:30 am. We needed a place with 24 hour check-in and so selected the Travel Inn. This property should be taken off of Travelocity as the site is a barely functional hotel. The neighborhood is really sketchy and felt unsafe. The clerk opened the wrong room for us, and only after we noticed that there was no bedding did he relocate us to the correct room. There, the fridge stank and didn't function, the outlets were missing switchplates, and the shower was cold. The property was surrounded by chain link fences. At 7:15 we were awoken by street people playing music and talking loudly. No staff was around to speak to in the morning.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is inconsistent, with many reports of dirty rooms and bathrooms, missing toiletries, odors, and one bedbug report; a few guests did find their bedding or bathroom clean. Housekeeping often feels superficial.

The desk manager was very nice, but the room was not clean, hair on tub and sink, mug on top of microwave was dirty. The quilt covering for the bed was folded and sitting on the pillows, making me wonder if the bedding had been changed or not. We were exhausted otherwise we would have went elsewhere. The price of the room was reasonable compared to the larger hotels.

Nothing was clean. It did not appear that the sheets had been changed, There were body impressions on the sheets when we pulled back the top cover. We went to the office to get clean sheets, and were give different sheets, they were not folded simply wadded up so there was no telling if they were clean or dirt. No toilet paper and was told by the night manager he could not give out any toilet paper. The sink had razer stubble and the tub had soap build up where one sits the soap and shampoo bottles. Dirty, Dirty, Dirty. Oh yes and most of this hotel is for long stays not overnight stays.

I stayed at the Travel Inn while attending a conference in Alaska. It was one of the only options available at an affordable price (lodging in Anchorage is super expensive). The stay was not great, but it had about the minimum you would expect for the cheapest option around. I had read a lot of comments online from a while ago mentioning bed bugs and such and was therefore a little stressed and very cautious, but those issues seem to have been fixed: I didn’t see any bugs in the room and checked the mattress under the sheets, which had a thick sealed plastic mattress protector around it and no trace of bugs. I will say, the bed was big and I found it surprisingly very comfortable. The area seemed a little sketchy but nothing too crazy. My main issue with the room was the cleanliness level: it had been cleaned, but very superficially (mystery stains in the bathroom, unknown scraps of food in the fridge, sticky remote control, very dusty corners, etc.) so I had to clean a few things myself. The front desk person was super nice, welcoming and helpful. He really tried his best and I truly appreciated that. It seems the hotel is understaffed and might have difficult clients. I think these are most likely the main issues. If you’re on a budget in Anchorage and stay at the Travel Inn, you won’t have the best experience in the world but you’ll be fine.

The place (I won’t even call it the hotel) was in a very rough area of town. It was dilapidated and appeared to be abandoned. there were no other guests at the time I arrived. Their idea of security was a gate with an orange cone blocking the stairway. It seems as if they were only a few rooms available upstairs over the street. I was not about to drag my luggage up two flights of stairs. it was very disconcerting, and quite honestly for a single woman, scary. I was honestly afraid to even go see the room. The only people walking in the neighborhood were of questionable character, and again very scary for me. I chose to cancel the reservation and was told that I would be charged for the entire cost of the rooms. But was then told that for a $50 cash payment, the clerk would make sure that my card was not charged. While that may have been their policy, it was very sketchy as it was the clerk, and I was not about to hand anyone any cash. I thought that Hotels.com at least vetted the business operators. It includes on its website. There is no phone number to speak with someone at Hotels.com about this and going through the virtual agent and a live agent did absolutely no good because the agent ended the chat while I was typing a long answer to his question. I had already spent an hour and a half miss and it wasn’t worth ruining my vacation by spending any more time. In 50 years of traveling, this was honestly the worst of the worst of the worst experiences.

Picked it from an Orbitz list. Flew up from SF. Used twice in a week to stay between Alaska Railroad trips from Anchorage to Fairbanks & back. Austeer but clean. I was on the second floor both stays. Bring your own Walgreens hangers. Water took 2-3 minutes to get from the boiler to my room, but I always had hot water to shower in. Desk sold cokes, etc. The Korean manager went out of his way to call me cabs (my cell phone did not work). He responded to all of the property's age-related deficiencies promptly. Inexpensive restaurants are nearby. Downtown museums, etc. are within walking distance. No real fear of homeless hassles or room or car break-ins. Decent place for short term stay. Parking on site. Room had basic television. Lots of FM stations. I was there in August.

1.Horrible place, feels like scary all the time 2. we tried to make Check in at 5:30 pm and the reception man told us in very bad way that we need come back and try again until 7:30 pm, because he needs kick out someone... so what that mean? that our room will be dirty?? unusable?? 3. We made reservation by Hotels.com the price was good, when we arrived at Travel Inn the reception guy said that only for this occasion He will respect this price, because normally is more expensive. Really bad experience, we went to Walmart to buy a mattress cover and bleach to clean all the room. only because we couldn't find another place that night, we stay there because was we last option.

I stayed at the Travel Inn while attending a conference in Alaska. It was one of the only options available at an affordable price (lodging in Anchorage is super expensive). The stay was not great, but it had about the minimum you would expect for the cheapest option around. I had read a lot of comments online from a while ago mentioning bed bugs and such and was therefore a little stressed and very cautious, but those issues seem to have been fixed: I didn’t see any bugs in the room and checked the mattress under the sheets, which had a thick sealed plastic mattress protector around it and no trace of bugs. I will say, the bed was big and I found it surprisingly very comfortable. The area seemed a little sketchy but nothing too crazy. My main issue with the room was the cleanliness level: it had been cleaned, but very superficially (mystery stains in the bathroom, unknown scraps of food in the fridge, sticky remote control, very dusty corners, etc.) so I had to clean a few things myself. The front desk person was super nice, welcoming and helpful. He really tried his best and I truly appreciated that. It seems the hotel is understaffed and might have difficult clients. I think these are most likely the main issues. If you’re on a budget in Anchorage and stay at the Travel Inn, you won’t have the best experience in the world but you’ll be fine.

Checked in and there was only 1 towel for 2 people...no soap or shampoo. Within 15 minutes ofncheckin at 2am, the clerk was gone and at 9am, nobody was there. It was cold and felt dungy although room was clean.

We were desperate for a place to stay on short notice after we missed our connection and landed in Anchorage at 1:30 am. We needed a place with 24 hour check-in and so selected the Travel Inn. This property should be taken off of Travelocity as the site is a barely functional hotel. The neighborhood is really sketchy and felt unsafe. The clerk opened the wrong room for us, and only after we noticed that there was no bedding did he relocate us to the correct room. There, the fridge stank and didn't function, the outlets were missing switchplates, and the shower was cold. The property was surrounded by chain link fences. At 7:15 we were awoken by street people playing music and talking loudly. No staff was around to speak to in the morning.

Fridge dirty and non functioning. Table not clean. No soap or hot water in the restroom. Room was hot, so had to have the window open and window faces busy street. Very loud.

The place (I won’t even call it the hotel) was in a very rough area of town. It was dilapidated and appeared to be abandoned. there were no other guests at the time I arrived. Their idea of security was a gate with an orange cone blocking the stairway. It seems as if they were only a few rooms available upstairs over the street. I was not about to drag my luggage up two flights of stairs. it was very disconcerting, and quite honestly for a single woman, scary. I was honestly afraid to even go see the room. The only people walking in the neighborhood were of questionable character, and again very scary for me. I chose to cancel the reservation and was told that I would be charged for the entire cost of the rooms. But was then told that for a $50 cash payment, the clerk would make sure that my card was not charged. While that may have been their policy, it was very sketchy as it was the clerk, and I was not about to hand anyone any cash. I thought that Hotels.com at least vetted the business operators. It includes on its website. There is no phone number to speak with someone at Hotels.com about this and going through the virtual agent and a live agent did absolutely no good because the agent ended the chat while I was typing a long answer to his question. I had already spent an hour and a half miss and it wasn’t worth ruining my vacation by spending any more time. In 50 years of traveling, this was honestly the worst of the worst of the worst experiences.

Picked it from an Orbitz list. Flew up from SF. Used twice in a week to stay between Alaska Railroad trips from Anchorage to Fairbanks & back. Austeer but clean. I was on the second floor both stays. Bring your own Walgreens hangers. Water took 2-3 minutes to get from the boiler to my room, but I always had hot water to shower in. Desk sold cokes, etc. The Korean manager went out of his way to call me cabs (my cell phone did not work). He responded to all of the property's age-related deficiencies promptly. Inexpensive restaurants are nearby. Downtown museums, etc. are within walking distance. No real fear of homeless hassles or room or car break-ins. Decent place for short term stay. Parking on site. Room had basic television. Lots of FM stations. I was there in August.

Clean and convenient for downtown. A lot of questionable people walking through the area but I’ve stayed multiple times and it’s always been fine.

Don’t even consider this place. When we reached this place, we kept on driving. Horrible looking place in a nasty, unsafe looking area of the city. This could possibly be the worst place in Anchorage. It was worth our health and safety to lose our money and stay elsewhere.

The area is drug infested. The rooms has an odor to the room from previous dirty guests. The property allows indigent people living in the back half. We did not stay at all. Lost one day.

Let me give it to you straight: this place should simply not be listed on a "hotel" website: it's a halfway house masquerading as a motor inn. The proprietor is a well-meaning, overwhelmed, but oddly vigilant man who is trying his best to pretend the happenings on these premises are normal. And, to be fair, Anchorage itself is a seedy and bizarre town. But this is an establishment charging $200 a night! It's unacceptable. Half the building is boarded up and appears to be condemned. Only a few rooms seem to be for paying customers, and these are hidden behind a rusty gate with a handwritten sign that says "DO NOT GO BEYOND THIS POINT." The other 80% of the building, often locked behind a cage, seems to be reserved for squatters and addicts. There's constant flow of social workers. Cabs are dropping off dazed vagrants, many of whom do not pay their drivers and get in screaming matches with them. Broken men soaked in stale piss linger at the gates. As for the room: there is a large gap in the door which opens out to this vivid outdoors; wind howls through the crack. The shower was caked in pubes & boogers, there were (blood? rust?) stains on the linens & towels, & the floors are filthy enough to quickly turn white socks black. I kid you not: the room key was a recycled Pizza Hut rewards card run through a sketchy RFID programmer! I've never been so relieved to check out of a property in my life, though honestly I feel bad for the proprietor, whose Sisyphean task carries on.

The property looked like it should’ve been torn down! We pulled up in the Uber drive us waited because he was afraid to let us stay there. If it wasn’t 1 o’clock in the morning, I would’ve left and tried to find someplace else to stay. We needed to be on a cruise the following morning at 10 AM so we didn’t have much of a choice. The room smelled like it had just been sprayed with bug killer. The furniture looked like it came from a thrift shop. I would not recommend this place at all. Half the property was gated off with chain leak fence. This should be taken off the website altogether. Do not stay here.
