Frommer's Recommended

A big old wood frame house stands among office buildings, parking lots, and high-rise hotels on a corner in the very best part of downtown Anchorage. Instead of the luxurious rooms you would expect on such valuable property, budget accommodations are inside -- rooms decorated with as much country style as could be managed with older furniture and limited funds (for example, a flowered bedspread covering an old couch). It's clean, and the management makes an effort to cater to visitors who simply want good value for their money, rather than people who can't afford to go anywhere else. The best room in the house, a large unit with dormers and a kitchenette, costs what you normally pay for a depressing little compartment on the edge of downtown. Add the hot breakfast served from 6 to 9am, airport transportation, and a free parking pass, and you are getting an amazing deal. If you don't need polish, you can save $50 a night here.
