Comfort Suites Anchorage International Airport

They advertised shuttle service but it doesn’t go to the train station. Next morning, they didn’t tell me to show up 5 minutes before my departure time so although I arrived on time they left early and without me.

I needed a hotel close to the airport for an early morning flight after our cruise. The prices in Anchorage rivaled the Caribbean in high season! I chose this hotel for 3 reasons 1. Proximity to airport & free shuttle service 2. Indoor pool 3. Advertised “grab & go breakfast The location was good, we were able to walk to hotel(1 block) from Alaska Park where we had to drop rental car. We reserved a shuttle for 3:45am and it was only a couple minutes late. As for the indoor pool, it had water in it and towels neatly stacked but it was closed. When I asked why at the desk I received a shrug. So much for my plan to spend the afternoon in the pool! I did take a nice walk across the street to Lake Hood the world’s largest seaplane base. The room was nice & large. Contained King, & a sectional to sit. Also a fridge & microwave which were not listed in amenities on website. Lobby was “alaskan cabin decor” with fireplace. They did store luggage when we could not check-in early. It was disconcerting that I had to get a key for the lobby restrooms. It was a residential neighborhood that didn’t seem like a high crime area. But my favorite feature was the grab & go breakfast which featured to small single granola bars & 3 candy mints! Thank God there was coffee available in the lobby. But you have got to be kidding me for a room rate over $400!!!
