Scene
Budget chain hotel with a clean and updated design, plus kid-friendly policies
Motel 6 Anchorage Midtown has a contemporary and simplistic decor that's typical of the Motel 6 brand. As the decor was renovated and updated in 2017, it provides a fairly clean and lovely stay for a budget hotel. The design of the building is typical: a three-story white building with blue accents. Inside, the lobby has a mix of vending machines and a coffee station, with little seating for travelers to sit and interact. Beyond the lobby, there are no other public spaces. Most travelers are couples or groups of friends that don’t need much beyond the basics. Though it’s a good option for families, too, because kids stay free.
Location
An 11-minute drive from airport and downtown Anchorage, with little to do in the immediate area
Motel 6 Anchorage Midtown doesn’t really have an impressive location. Sure, it’s fine for those with a car as it’s an 11-minue drive to the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and an 11-minute drive to downtown Anchorage and the H2Oasis Indoor Waterpark. However, there’s not much to do in the immediate area. There are a few chain restaurants (like the Golden Corral) that are within an eight-minute walk from the property. The Cuddy Family Midtown Park takes 18 minutes to reach on foot.
Rooms
Pleasant rooms with air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs, though no coffeemakers
With attractive laminate wooden floors and updated blond wooden furniture, this Motel 6 is a notch above what you might expect of the brand. The contemporary decor was completed in 2017 and features an orange-ish red statement walls and beds with gray and orange bedding. Rooms cover the basics with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. However, without mini-fridges and microwaves, travelers are really submitting to a budget experience. Bathrooms are simple; they come with shower/tub combos and basic toiletries -- though no hairdryers. Take note that some rooms allow for smoking, which isn’t ideal for all.
Features
The mere basics like free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a coin-operated laundry room
The list of features at Motel 6 Anchorage Midtown is low, even for a budget hotel. Free amenities are Wi-Fi throughout and parking on-site. The hotel doesn’t offer breakfast in the mornings, but provides free coffee and has some food and drinks vending machines. Pets are welcome and the hotel offers doggy bowls and pet waste bags to those who need them. Long-term guests can take advantage of the coin-operated laundry room.
