Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek

The Comfort Inn Ship Creek offers travelers good value plus the convenience of being a short walk from Anchorage’s train depot. The two-and-a-half-pearl property’s freebies include a hot breakfast buffet, on-site parking, an airport shuttle, and Wi-Fi throughout. There’s also a fitness center and pool on-site. Its 100 contemporary guest rooms are comfortable and nicely equipped with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and coffeemakers, and some suites have kitchens and whirlpool tubs, but noise from nearby passing trains can be an issue. Travelers looking for accommodations closer to downtown Anchorage can consider Anchorage Grand Hotel, which often has similar rates.

Puffin Inn of Anchorage

The two-pearl Puffin Inn is an eight-minute drive from the Anchorage Airport and 10 minutes from downtown. Several types of rooms are spread among three separate buildings, but they’re all simple and some have exterior corridors. Rooms in the Annex building are a half-block from the lobby, and those on the top two floors require climbing stairs to access. Mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers are standard, and some rooms have kitchenettes with wet bars and/or whirlpool tubs. While there isn’t a pool, the hotel offers lots of freebies: an airport shuttle, continental breakfast, parking, and Wi-Fi. It also has guest laundry facilities, a business center, and small fitness center. Pets are welcome for a fee. As a slightly higher priced alternative, the Clarion Suites Downtown has all the same freebies plus an indoor pool.
