Econo Inn is your basic budget no frills base in Anchorage. At so cheap pricing it has to be the most cheap sleep for a traveler on an extremely strict budget. The motel stands on the edge of the downtown area and therefore serves as a very easy spot for travelers that require only an ordinary type of accommodation without extra services. It is a no-frills, no-nonsense alternative for travelers intending to explore the urban and natural environment and may need nothing more than somewhere comfortable to sleep for the night.

Pros/Cons - Econo Inn


  • Really low rates, one of the dirt-cheap places to stay in Anchorage.
  • Near downtown, or at least to its attractions by a short drive or longish walk.
  • Free on-site parking is available.
  • The front desk staff, it seems, are generally friendly.
  • × The property is very old and run-down — a lot of guests report rooms in poor condition.
  • × Cleanliness is a major concern— this and consistency through numerous complaints of dirty rooms.
  • × The immediate neighborhood along with the motel itself can feel pretty unsafe, especially at night.

Review Breakdown - Econo Inn


  • Value for Money For the traveler who’s only concern is the absolute lowest price, the inn will do the trick, but overall value is often ruined by the poor condition of the property.
  • Staff Performance Front desk staff are available and can complete a basic check-in procedure, although not with a high standard of professional service for the guest’s convenience.
  • Location Convenience The location is kind of a bag of mixed stuff; it's near downtown, but the immediate Spenard neighborhood is known to be among the rougher parts of the city.
  • Area & Access The neighborhood around it is a mix of businesses and lower-rent residential housing, so I would not be comfortable walking around out there, especially at night.
  • Cleanliness This motel garners very low cleanliness scores, with many reviews complaining about dirty rooms, stained sheets, and uncleaned bathrooms.
  • Breakfast Quality No breakfast services are available at the motel. The on-site restaurant, when open, is not highly recommended for use.
