Hostels in Alaska, United States

Great place by the airport. For people on transit it is hard to beat. It gets the job done if that’s all you need. But if you’re looking for someplace to stay more than one night, other venues may be better suited.

Was a good stay. The room was a bit to warm for me when I got checked in, but was able to lower the room temperature. Good clean room with a nice firm bed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Being next to McDonalds and the Breeze In are also very good options

Ingra House Hotel WAS a great place to stay.... BUT, since the covid-19 pandemic started, Ingra House has since become infested with bed bugs, drug addicted bums, and some of the staff are freaking out because of the pandemic and taking out their anger on innocent guests (like Mike the owner- who screamed about how he's ”losing money because of covid-19). Also, the main manager, ”Max” Sweeney seemed like a kind man at first- but it turned out Max is very two-faced, and he has prejudice against people with disabilities (ableism and sanism are his main choices of bigotry, which is discrimination towards people with disabilities). Max was often nice and friendly to my face, but would badmouth me behind my back. I know this because some of the other guests told me he did this. I also observed Max behaving the same way towards other hotel residents- friendly to their face, then talking crap about them behind their back to other guests and staff. I get it- everyone is freaking out over covid-19 and losing money. BUT, that doesn't make it alright for Max and Mike the owner to take out their anger on guests who have nothing to do with any of that. Max treats his cat, Smokey, with more kindness than he treats people with disabilities- he treats people with disabilities like they're wild animals that he threatens with police brutality when they don't bend the knee to him and take his verbal abuse in silence. Despite the bed bugs, drug addicts, etc. I would have enjoyed my stay at Ingra House- if it wasn't for the bigotry and ableist discrimination and two-faced behavior that I had to endure from Mike the owner and Max the manager. Max is the type of guy who let's the power of authority go to his head and he brags about using police violence to remove unwanted guests from ”his property”. Edward ”Max” is like Eric Cartman from South Park- ”Respect my authoritah!”. Well, no! I do not respect your ”authority” nor do I care for your bigotry, Max. And since Max and Mike the owner are white and there are almost no Black guests at Ingra House, I suspect Mike/Max to be a little racist on top of the ableism. Mike and Max both disrespect the Assistant manager, Mike (a black man), and they both talk down to him like he is an indentured servant. You know what ”Max” and Mike? Black Lives Matter. Trans Lives Matter. Disabled Lives Matter. Understand, you white men who have let power and greed go to their heads? Good luck with the bed bug infestation... the next place I rent from, I will make sure they are bed bug free before plunking down $1,000 to live in a place where I get bitten in my sleep. In light of ALL THAT- I have sadly had to change my original reviews from 5 stars to 1 star. It's too bad... Smokey the cat is an awesome kitty and he deserves to have an owner who isn't two-faced or a raging bigot. I am sending good vibes and positive energy to both Smokey and Mike, the assistant owner who still has to endure those two-faced bosse

Great little motel. Quiet, scenic. Gas station across street, closes kind of early. Fridge, coffee maker, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, hair dryer. Older but has been updated. Very clean. Office guy very nice! No vending available, but he has containers of ice in the lobby. Good location, 20 minutes from Anchorage, 5 minutes to see Belugas, close to Girdwood, Wildlife Conservation Refuge, on the way to Seward.

Great location: walking distance from cruise terminal, harbour for fjords boat tours, and the railway, as well as a shuttle stop. Our room wasn't inside the main building and the window looked onto the walkway to get to that section of rooms - so if you had the curtains open, people walking past looked in. Also, it was a bit annoying not to have the sink in the bathroom, and I would have liked more than just a rail for clothes - we could hang our wet jackets, but that was it. As with many places we stayed on this trip, the bed had a blanket and a sheet rather than a duvet, and the curtains weren't blackout. Overall, staff were lovely, we could store our luggage and heating worked a treat. Would stay again for the location. Better than I expected from the internet pictures.

The room is quite large, the two beds are 1.5 meters, enough for 4 people to sleep, we specially booked a small kitchen, because there is an aunt with us, do not like eating outside, but this small kitchen actually does not have pots and pans, so unless you have a pot yourself, Otherwise, you can't cook, because we went to Utah for the second half of the trip and brought pots and pans, so it can be used. This hotel is better than airport transfer, so we can drop off the bus at the hotel, so we will call back by ourselves after the drop off. But day 2 could do their bus again to the airport.

The room looked like it did in the pictures. The service was good checking in. But the entire room was infested with Cockroaches. The owners need to seriously fumigate this building and do so on a regular basis... this was my wife and I first visit to Anchorage and this location came recommended. But we will never stay here again. Absolute fail with the amount of cockroaches we found. I even put my boots on top of the fridge and 8 cockroaches ran out of them in the morning. Disgusting!!!

Was a good stay. The room was a bit to warm for me when I got checked in, but was able to lower the room temperature. Good clean room with a nice firm bed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Being next to McDonalds and the Breeze In are also very good options

This review is relatively objective - this USA road trip encompassed 5 properties in Alaska over 9 nights and a total of 25 over 47 nights. We stayed for 3 nights in June. Excellent pick up from the nearby airport (no noise)/drop off at the ferry port at Auke Bay. Our Deluxe room was large enough, comfortable and well equipped. Twin beds were not available, so a roll up turned the queen bed room into a twin. The shutters were not blackout, so the early sunrise did intrude. Decent linen and towels. The property, which is an old converted house ,felt welcoming and comfortably ‘non chain hotel’ furnished. Plenty of parking out front for those driving. No elevator for anyone with a mobility problem. Check in was efficient, but one of the issues we encountered was that none of the staff had any idea about the public buses that run directly in front of the hotel into town, locally and close to the Mendenhall Glacier NP. Yes there is a shuttle downtown (if you want to experience a massive ‘cruise ship alley’ shopping experience ) but the local buses ran everywhere (every 30 mins) and were tremendous value/much more convenient. No attempt made to even find the necessary information for us and no handouts/timetables available. At a hotel of this standard we expected better. Breakfast was to a decent standard, however, we did not appreciate being pestered/hassled upon completing breakfast to order content/time for the following day! A restaurant is advertised both on TA and on the roadside hotel board. Yes, dinner is available, but on a very limited ‘pre order’ menu.There is no liqour licence and we were brusquely told that we couldn’t drink our own wine with the meal as there were ‘under age’ employees on the premises. Not at all acceptable for a hotel of this class/price. Dining atmosphere zero! There are dining options available locally of the pizza/diner variety. What could have been a wonderful experience was marred by the above issues.

Great location: walking distance from cruise terminal, harbour for fjords boat tours, and the railway, as well as a shuttle stop. Our room wasn't inside the main building and the window looked onto the walkway to get to that section of rooms - so if you had the curtains open, people walking past looked in.

In a town with very little options this one is a solid choice for a night or two. We stayed one night in a quick trip to Seward in March. It is just outside of the ”town” making it quite but still close to things to do. Check in a do it yourself kind of deal. You are given a code to the room and then asked to text when you arrive. They did respond quickly to our text and we had no issues. The parking lot was plowed of snow so that was helpful. Room 3 is a big room but has VERY limited places to put things. There is no closet, no dresser etc...so everything ends up sitting on the futon. The tiny desk doesn't leave much room if you have a computer. While it looked nice it wasn't the best planned hotel room. Heating the room was done with a space heater that took a while to warm up the room, and the floors were bitter cold despite the warm air. The towels in our room were dingy and stained ( past their prime) so we just hoped they were clean. I could recommend this for a one or two night stay but if you were spending a week here ...I'd choose a AirBNB.

The room is large, clean and hygienic, with a one-bedroom and one-living room structure with a large bed in the bedroom and two small beds in the hall. There is free parking. No breakfast, large refrigerator and microwave. Good location, convenient to travel in Downtown. The landlord is very nice and the hot water is very hot and flushing. Although in early August, the lowest temperature was only about 10 degrees, and the landlord began to provide heating at 5:20 in the morning.
