The bed were surprisingly comfortable. My room was in the original building, but it was still livable. Plus, it had snowed the evening I was staying there, and my next destination was Palmer, so they allowed me to checkout an hour later, which I really appreciated.

Philip, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean. However, the room was located two buildings over away from the lobby. Check in took more than 15 mins due to the long line. The airport shuttle was on time going out in the AM and very convenient.

I want to give a shout out to Yolanda for being so kind and gracious towards us. She gives excellent costumer service and was just amazing!
Grace, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I drove up to Anchorage for a one day trip. At the last minute I decided to stay over rather than drive home in the dark for 3 hours. Friends have recommended the Puffin Inn for years. I was able to book a very adequate single room for a VERY good price thru Hotels.com. The room was clean, the hot water was hot, and the street noise was minimal. I didn’t make it to the breakfast but I’m sure it would have been good as well. I do recommend this hotel.
sherry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had never stayed here before and was a little skeptical as their price was significantly less than other motels in the area. Since I was traveling without my family, I just needed the smallest and cheapest room. It was pretty small, but the mattress was fine, the room was clean and the plumbing worked fine. I would stay again.
Barry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, not a bad stay. My friends in the area stated this is not a good location though, so just be mindful of locking your things up and people around the property. Staff was great and the room itself was nice. Plenty of pillows and comfortable bedding. Bathroom was outdated and water ran out of shower easily.
Bobbi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The biggest inconvenience is restaurants close early and/or open late, which is challenging without a car. But for the price, this was a real good deal, and I would stay here again.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Puffin Inn disappointment.

Your lobby was very inviting, but when I saw our room, I was appalled. Your sign at the hotel says Great rooms, Great prices. We paid $250.00 for a room that is comparable to a Motel 6.
Carolyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The airport shuttle was great. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The inn is old and crusty, but are currently remodeling. The area is pretty sketchy and out Uber driver told us the motel down the road got shut down for drugs and prostitution, it was fine for our overnight stay, but wouldn’t want to spend any extended time here or stay here with kids.
Heather, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was close to the airport and the area where the Sea Planes take off and land. The restaurant Jinmi across the street was great for lunch or dinner. We had a bed to sleep in & a place to shower. Rooms were not well maintained and customer service at the front desk was lacking from time to time. I generally don't say never, so if it came down to it we'd stay again.
Luanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We appreciated the ride to the airport at 4 am. Wendy’s across the road.
