We chose this hotel because they pick you up from airport, also drop you off at train for cruise. No charge. And they have free shuttle to downtown and free breakfast. You must schedule drop off so do that immediately to ensure you get the time slot.

It was great they have a shuttle to pick us up at the airport. Shuttle then took us downtown and made suggestions on where to eat or see. Room was clean. For us, it was a deal. Shuttle then took us to the train station for our ride to Seward.

Satisfied with the accommodation and facilities. Accommodation is dated but the airport/downtown shuttles are a great facility. Plenty of Parking and a reasonably good breakfast that is complimentary. There is Chinese restaurant at sight and Wendy's is close by .

Far from luxurious, but you definitely get your money’s worth. Friendly staff, and unparalleled shuttle service. The beds need an upgrade, but ok for a when night stay. Crusty characters enhance the experience. Very good Chinese restaurant next door (order the steak!).

From the minute we arrived to reception with the guy eating his lunch and talking with his mouth full I knew we were in for an interesting stay! Motel very tired, carpet in rooms sticky, air-cons extremely noisy. Breakfast in reception area very interesting given there are 4 seats to sit on for all guests! Not sure what the offerings were but they had run out by the time we went for breakfast and we're not getting replaced. Courtesy bus has badly stained seats and accommodation in a very dodgy part of town, nothing close by. I'm not sure how this place is still operating. Would have been too scared to walk anywhere. We couldn't wait to leave Anchorage and one night was too long. If you can afford to stay somewhere else do it, you won't regret it.

One night stay after our cruise. Shuttle picked us up from downtown and stored bags at the hotel while we went for a trolley tour. When we were ready, they collected us, and our rooms were ready. Rooms looked freshly painted, bathroom looks fairly new, but carpet is old, beds are hard, pillows thin and no spares available. Breakfast was included but was very minimal. Accommodation is expensive in Anchorage so you really shouldn't expect too much

Great value and best place to stay for a couple of days after or before a cruise. I selected the Merrill Field Inn based on its reviews for their customer service and it was excellent. The staff was awesome and we utilized the shuttle service to get us from the train station to the hotel. To get around while staying in Anchorage and to get to the airport for our group of 6. Their daily breakfast was very good and they always had hot coffee! Anthony was the best, I can't say enough good things about him. They held our luggage on the day we were leaving which was a great help and the Rice Garden restaurant was excellent and they have amazing steaks. The hotel is clean but a bit dated but the staff, shuttle service, breakfast and Rice Garden more than make up for that. I will stay again when back in Anchorage.

This hotel is very dirty and not in a great location. The staff was friendly and shuttle service was nice. I would not recommend this hotel. I’m not sure why this hotel had so many positive reviews which is the only reason we chose this hotel. I wanted to leave as soon as I saw the rooms.
