Econo Inn Motel - Page 1

Good--

--cheap for anchorage in summer--99.00 plus tax for 2 adults and 1 child.

--clean room, nothing fancy

Bad--

--drunken hotel guests down the hall kept us awake from 2-4:30 am. Manager did come finally to threaten to kick them out although the noise started an hour later. No one is at the front desk 24 hours.

--I learned from the taxi driver (more on this later) that this is the motel where the drunks go to stay.

--scary building exterior and interior.

--creepy people hanging around

--inept help

--continental breakfast consisted of tang-like drink and old croissants; coffee if needed.

--undependable shuttle--we were supposed to leave at noon to catch our flight. We arrived back at the hotel at about 11:45 only to see our shuttle van leave. The front desk said he would be back soon. He was lying. The driver went to the airport. I ended up having the front desk person call a cab. We paid for it. The cab driver was surprised to see a nice family at this motel. Thankfully, the cabbie got us to the airport on time.

The cost savings are not worth it. Avoid this place at all costs.

Well didnt like it when made the reservation and then getthere a differnt rate was given to me, then once iget to the room it was not what had wanted, then the front desk gave out a key to my room to someone who was not even part of my group and did.

This hotel made me feel welcome: Atthe time of the event the front staff were into what was there for and wanted to know about it. They made me feel good, they asked me about the events and whats going on, and they really did act like they were intrested, which surprised me.
