Coast International Inn

All in all it was OK, but needed better overseeing of housekeeping especially in the shower.

Poor location. Staff was not very friendly. No continental breakfast. The room was dirty. A piece of dirty paper was left on the floor and a dirty straw under the bed. The room also smelled like cigarettes but it was non-smoking.

Overall we had a fine stay but the hotel didn't have a pool, jacuzzi and the internet was lousy. We had little to no bars in our room, even in the lobby the strength of the reception was low to non existent. Staff couldn't help with the issue, room was clean, housekeeping was nice and friendly.

Good stay, comfortable bed, basic accommodations for travel.

Outside of the hotel really makes a person question checking in. They had tried to remodel rooms, but it was just a cheap cover up in some cases.

The building lacks an elevator, and as the rooms are on the 2nd floor; heavy luggage and those with special needs are not well accommodated. While the exterior is unflattering and makes one think of a highway-side motel, the inside lobby has the feeling of an upscale ski lodge with a large fireplace, leather couches and even a piano for those so inclined to entertain other guests. The rooms are simple but everything is made with fine materials. I was there in January so Lake Hood was very nice to look at, but I have read if you visit during the summer you may awake to float planes taking off and landing not far from your window. With all of this in mind, The Coast International Inn is a great place to stay and is in a great location being close to the airport and midtown Anchorage. What it lacks in amenities that the more popular chains offer, it makes up for in charm, cleanliness, good service, and a nice atmosphere. read more

This is an old hotel that has had the rooms redecorated, however it still smells like an old hotel and the beds appeared to be very old too. My son also accidentally left his Webkinz stuffed animals in his bed and after 2 phone calls to the hotel, we still haven't heard back from the housekeeping staff.

Yes the location of the hotel was perfect for airline travelers, the lobby had a nice appearence welcoming. However some of the staff was not very friendly to us. We didnt get to eat at pipers the resturant there but we heard their food was and service was excellent.

Very good customer service, helpful. The bed and pillow left a lot to be desired, my back hurt for over a week. No trash bag, or bag for the ice bucket. Half-heartedly, at best, clean bathroom. Toothpaste marks on the mirror, floor not clean, caulking worn out.
