We visited Anchorage in October and got a room for one month with my wife and my two years old daughter. The clerks and the management were very friendly and we were not the only family with a baby there. The price was right and we never had any problems with our neighbours or the room. Do not get me...

For those reviews that say this is the worst hotel ever...they are right. I booked a room here for the first night of our vacation in Alaska, based upon the criteria that it was cheap and close to the airport (we were arriving around 1 am). The first thing you notice is that the entire place smells like an old... More

My daughter and I tried to stay here. AC in room broken, guy at desk just shrugged and recommended we open windows. Windows open to alley - not a nice one. Dingy and dirty. HORRIBLE and I am not picky! We called and found another hotel and moved - worth losing our money - we'd have been more comfortable sitting... More

It's smelly, dirty (they don't vaccum the room); they say it's a non-smoking environment, but it's false. I had a strong reaction because of all the cigarette smell. There'a a train track right behind the hotel, so, if you don't have earplugs, well, you don't sleep! It's not located in a good place of the city; the place looks like... More

After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, we still hoped that this hotel was not going to be that bad. We're a family used to Motel 6's and Super 8's, so we were sure we couldn't be frightened by any hotel. We were WRONG. Don't stay here, the other reviewers are completely accurate! It's a shady feeling neighborhood, and with two... More

We thought that we'd save a few bucks and stay at the Chelsea Inn. HUGE mistake!! AWFUL! These other bad reviews are not strongly enough worded and do not trust anyone who doesn't give this hotel an awful rating. It deserves a negative rating. Our flight arrived @ 2 AM and when we arrived at the hotel there were sketchy... More

I foolishly booked this hotel without checking TripAdvisor until it was too late. It was disgusting. I did not feel safe there at all. We were only there for one night- if we had booked it for longer, I would've moved to a different hotel. The only decent thing about this hotel was the staff- they were nice.

Please avoid this filthy hovel if you can. Dirty, stinking and noisy rooms, unsafe locks, ill mannered and DISHONEST staff. Sorry but it's all true.

This place is horrible! We've stayed in some dumps over the years, but this one takes the cake. No towels, the room was dirty, a piece of the bathroom sink was laying on the floor. To add insult to injury, they charged both my wife's and my credit cards! I do not recommend this rat trap to anybody!
