This wasn't a bad place to stay, but definitely wouldn't stay again. It was sweet that they left us a bottle of water and snacks. The bed was comfortable. It's very dated and needs updating. read more

Place is outdated, but staff was friendly. Cabinet drawers broken. Nice comfy bed spread. read more

I stayed at the Qupqugiaq Inn, and while it wasn't the Ritz Carlton, it was far from what I have seen in the horror stories from the reviews here, so I wonder if those were temporary things that didn't get cleaned up fast enough. The Qupqugiaq has a seemingly small staff, so I could see that being the case. When I stayed at the Qupqugiaq Inn, it was clean and comfortable. The exterior is half modern and half natural, with an office on top of columns of wood tree trunks. A cool looking building to pull up to. The room we booked was cute and cozy, with two beds, nice quilts, and heavy wooden furniture, making it seem like a grandma's guest house (in a good way). There is a private bathroom that was clean and well appointed. We were there at the beginning of the midnight sun, and our room featured blackout curtains which was definitely a necessity to not have the sun blasting in our room at 3am, so I was happy about that! Our only issue here was that it is on a busy street, and our room was open to the ground floor/parking area, and we did have one person walking by, come knocking on our door late at night randomly, which was scary but we just didn't answer and made sure the door was locked. This can happen anytime and anywhere, so I don't blame Qupqugiaq, just be aware and make sure your door is locked if it is open out to where the public walks by. Overall, this is definitely a budget hotel, but it's in a good area of town to get to many things, and you will most likely enjoy your stay even if it's just a place to sleep at night between exploring. read more

DO NOT STAY!!! If I could give this a zero I would. This is clearly a transient hotel. We did not even check in after viewing the room. It was disgusting. The photos do not give an accurate representation of the "hotel" if you can call it that. read more

It was clean and the staff was nice. Darker curtains are needed because of the light and we would have liked less noise from the outside road. Bring eye masks and heavy duty earplugs. Good value overall! It was very unique and had a home type feeling! read more

If you stay here, bring your own towels. The towels smell old and musty. Bring cleaning supplies too, floor was sticky as if never mopped. The pictures were confusing too, I thought my room had a bathtub. It was just a dirty shower. It's close to places, but not my ideal place to stay. Last time I stay here. read more

I don't have a hidden agenda or grudge against them. That said, I wasn't the only guest that had BEDBUG(s). Major headache when went home. Hallways were very noisy at night, and since the rooms and door weren't sound reducing, you'd hear your neighboring rooms sounds, too. Guests apparently weren't cautioned to be considerate. Even in early morning, new arrivals or current guests talked loudly in parking lot or front entrance. My room had no clothes hangers, and without a closet, that was very inconvenient. I asked one day for a bed linen change, but it wasn't done until I asked the next day. One of the two upstairs bathroom sink faucet had the hot-cold reversed like European style--hot to right. Even then it took long time to get hot. It's sparse, Spartan, but that's what you want to save money. Food and two bus stops right across the street. Housekeeping staff very friendly. read more

Rude owner, dirty shower, doors constantly slamming in the middle of the night. Would not stay here again

Do not put your life in danger staying at this inn. Very sketchy people lurking around, building doesn't stay locked at night. There's a space in-between my door and the frame and you can see in and out of the room. Dresser is missing bottom of the drawers, exposed wires and wall plugs. Giants cracks in ceilings and walls. Exposed broken glass on entry doors. Shared bathrooms and showers that do not get cleaned. EXTREMELY DIRTY beds and sheets. Mattress is outdated and covered in nasty stains and holes. Entire building smells terrible and there is flies and little gnats all throughout the building. Constant noise and people doing weird things outside of my window at 2am. No one at the front desk when you want to check in, and a sign that reads be right back, call this number for assistance and then the number is to the business phone sitting right in front of me ‍‍ This place was a disaster and I was only stressed and feared for my life my entire stay. Do not stay here unless you want to get robbed or k!lled read more

I stayed in the Qupqugiaq Inn in room 217 in September 2021. The sheets and mattress were a bit grimy, but at least that part was manageable. In the evening, I checked all around the bed, mattress, furniture. As I moved the bedside dresser, and as I moved the dresser, I saw a bed bug run from out under and scurry into the baseboard. I quickly packed up my bags and informed the night manager, who told me when I asked if the hotel had bed bugs that "if you found one, then we do". I immediately left, and he told me that I needed to call back the next day to ask for a refund. When I called the next day, I reached the weekend manager, who told me again that I needed to call back the next day and ask for Jen. I called again the next day for Jen, who told me I had to email Lucas. I emailed Lucas, and it was only after the second email where he responded, and ultimately refused to give me a refund because his manager and assistant manager didn't find any when they looked. If you go through past reviews, you will find similar stories of bed bug complaints and them not getting answered. Both the bed bug experience along with how I was getting the run around was extremely frustrating, and them not being communicative with me until a week and 4 people later made the entire experience extremely negative for me. It seems like this room and room 216 have historically in the past had bed bugs, so it's no surprise that the experience really hasn't improved. Beware, and spend the extra money to not have to deal with this nightmare. read more

What you get is a Bed, TV,, bathroom, a sink. One towel, no hand towel or a floor mat. You can have a free coffee in the office. The top floor above the guest rooms is very noisy people are moving around all night. There is no working AC and the windowi is nailed shot so there is no air flow. The place is cheaper than other ones in town though. read more

This hotel is AWESOME. We loved everything about the place...from the totally Alaska style room decor to the amazing staff - we wished we could have stayed longer here. It was such a nice change from the generic hotels that we typically stay at. So totally Alaska! We come from the land of a thousand hotels in Hawaii but Qupqugiaq is officially our favorite hotel. So glad we got to experience this place. Mahalo to Lucas and the Qupqugiaq staff for making our Alaska holiday even more amazing than we expected! read more

So I chose this place because Anchorage was pretty much booked every where else. Ugh it's a more like a hostel and it's on a busy road which means if your on that side of the building the free ear plugs from the front desk are a must. Another down side is there is no AC. My room which was stated to be renovated in 2016 has been well wore since that took place. The window sill has cigarette burns, the baseboard heater was all beaten up. The bathroom seemed moldy and the tub had a significant repair. It kind of smells a little pissy. The upbeat is the staff is friendly and attentive. I recommend only in a pinch read more

I was supposed to have 2 beds in room. Only had one. Room was stuffy and I totally got bed bug bites all over me read more

Qupqugiaq Inn - bed bug bites - Hotels Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

As of the 2013 season, it is under heavy renovation, so some things are not quite as advertised. The Mexican restaurant is closed, and there are no waffles. However, it is still an excellent value. There are plenty of other breakfast options. There is good coffee at any time of day. The owner lives on property and is quite responsive. It's in a decent location, and you're going to rent a car anyway, so you miss nothing. The beds are clean and comfortable, and the water is hot. The only loss of a star is window shades. If you're catering to tourists who aren't used to Alaska daylight hours, some thick curtains r blackout shades really help. All they use right now are little slat blinds, which just don't cut it. Fix that one thing and it would be perfection. read more

I stayed here for 5 nights Room 1 The room is simple 2 beds mounted tv what more do you need My only issue with this place was the staff RUDE!!

I wish her the best Take my advise and stay somewhere else! If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

I think I relearned a lesson this trip on the "value" received at discount hotels like this... It's out of the way of nearly everything - so a car is a requirement. (I like to use public transit when in a new city but that didn't work here in Anchorage). Location is important when visiting a new city and this is about 10 minutes from anything. The front desk is unstaffed until 10 am. Needed a bandage and went to the "office" and a guest who's some sort of volunteer host said he couldn't go behind the desk, but offered to run across the street to a market. The room was cold (huh! Anchorage cold - go figure). Never got the heat to work, a complaint I heard about another room. I asked the first night for a second blanket... And asked again the second night... I was going to ask a third time but instead bought a blanket at a tourist shop and was warm enough. They are I guess remodeling and upgrading but the work is shoddy. Nicely tiled shower but no curtain to keep the floor dry. The finishing work has gaps in door frames, misaligned cuts for door latches. I just felt shoddy. I've stayed at less desirable places... Heck, I camped out in a tent for what amounts to over a year and was more comfortable. Motel 6 rates a 3-star rating and this isn't that nice. They didn't clean the room since the first day. Trash not emptied. Cheap white rough towels, two provided to shower... No other linens (no hand towel, no wash cloth). Bring your own soap and shampoo, none filled in the container jars in the bathroom. Towels also had rips and holes. Finally learned how to turn on the TV - hint, even though its cable, set it for air reception to get the channels. Anchorage gets dark late (9 pm in August). Bring sleep shades if you go to bed earlier. We asked for something to darken the room and the result was a comedy of staff with thumb tacks and sheets. I am sure I could have found a worse place - didn't have any crack whores or homeless hanging... No, wait, I went to the lobby yesterday morning and someone was sleeping on the couch. Construction across the street starts at 7 am six days a week. Busy street traffic also, so take a room at the back side of the hotel. read more

I feel like Im extending myself by giving 1 star but it is for the night employee who met me at 2:30 am to let me into my room and carried my suitcase up the stairs. And well it was a roof over my head. Arrangements: My flight was changed on me last minute and I would not arrive until 230am. I needed a place to stay for 5-6 hours before a friend picked me up. So the price was better for that time frame. Earlier in the day I called the hotel to notify them I was arriving late. The lady who answered said "We will TRY to have someone meet you". That wasnt comforting. Arrival: I caught a Lyft to my hotel; the gentleman was very kind and told me "Please be-careful in this area. It is rough". I thought he was exaggerating. But as I got out of my Lyft, the desk clerk that was meeting me was also throwing out 6 people who were smoking crack on the premises. A lot of yelling was going on. I didnt know if I was to check in at the office or where to go. But I walked up the back stairs and went to my room that I was directed to. I wasnt asked for my ID to check in or verification. The room: The place just smelled awful- like body oder/sweat. It had a full sized bed, a TV, rough looking dresser, a sink, mirror, table and two dirty chairs. And random drink spill-spots on the floor. Or I hope they were drink spills. And there was a hole was punched through the wall. I did not know that there was no bathroom in the room. It was located down the hall. After a full day of work and traveling 8 hours on a plane and going to a land where it doesnt get dark...i just wanted to sleep. But nope. All the crack heads that were chased out ended up on the street below my room window. So as I tried to air out my room, they were smoking and talking down below. All night! I slept in a stuffy, stinky room. I woke up around 4am with rap music blasting and the intense smell of weed. The TV was ok. It worked as did the sink. I was concerned that the smoke detector was just hanging from the ceiling too! The bathroom: This was a catastrophe. No toilet paper, garbage filled with used clothes, graffiti all over the door & shower, no soap and no door handle from the inside!! I wanted to take a shower but the separate shower didnt have a door handle/lock on it. So I resorted to the gross bathroom. I was super nervous because I was a single woman staying in this place with a lot of men...and the door wasnt secure. I took my chance and took the quickest shower ever. Conclusion: Would I book this room again? Nope. Would I spend the additional $50 to go to a chain hotel in Anchorage. Definitely. I feel this place could definitely be a hostel. See accompanying photos. read more

3.5/4 out of 5 This is not your typical inn (I realized later that some of it was a "hostel". I thought that this was probably the nicest hostel I have ever seen. It is more like an inn/hostel. However, you can have a private bath room too, which is what I had). The place has a quirky personality. Which I liked....for the most part. I live in Fairbanks and just came back from a visit to Anchorage . We picked this one because it was the cheapest with an overall decent review (and the only cheap one that was "clean"). We payed $95 a night for our particular room. It was in the summer, so everything decent was already booked. This was in midtown, so you still would need transportation to get downtown. I have to say though, I have never thought that the lobby host (or owner?) would have such an impression on its own place. I can't stress this more. When we first checked in (early August), the lady was very very nice- and chatty haha. She is definitely quirky and isn't afraid to show it, which is refreshing to see, at the same time, a little too much to see. She started off humorously saying "Yes, I know my shirt is inside out," and then as she was checking us in, our conversation went from something about her daughter having a lot of babies to something about how the "We haven't learned from the Earth yet" . She admits she is from the "flower child" age. INSIDE: Lobby It definitely left a weird impression. However, the lobby was too cute, with a computer and a cool wooden "tree" bookshelf. There is a long wooden table for guests to sit and read the newspaper and eat their breakfast. There is kitchen with everything: stove, microwave, refrigerator and a table to set up your breakfast. You have to share the kitchen and everything as like any hostel. I would say this is a mixture of an inn/bed and breakfast/hostel. INSIDE: Hallways and Rooms: Clean, small but not too small. Cozy for Hubby and I because we didn't need much since we had planned on spending most of our time in Anchorage out and about around town rather inside a hotel. You walk in to the windy hallways to your room. Our room was a private bath with a double bed. Small, yet cozy. Had a HUGE vintage sign of 8-footed polar bear with the name of their inn. There was a very small shelf that had a few books on it next to the window. TV was the old school TV's however we got great looking display and had cable. We got to watch the olympics!!! There is a wooden desk to the corner right next to your night side table. Bathroom: Small. Sink was outside of the bathroom. For someone who needs a big bathroom to take a while and get ready, not for you. Everything was clean. Pillows were so COMFY! They had the "memory foam" type pillows! OUTSIDE: Had a cute little patio, then below on the pavement had an outdoor set of a table and a few chairs under a shaded tent for any of the guests who want to spend a little time outside to smoke, read, etc. There was also a bench made out of tree branches. cool! CONS: Area: There were homeless people right across the street every time we would walk to a nearby store. We had a car, so the inn being midtown wasn't a huge deal, but it would have been nice to stay at at hotel downtown...However, being it was a summer in Anchorage, you don't have much luck if you don't planned far in advance. There were homeless people right across the street every time we would walk to a nearby store. We had a room right near the road so we would hear the cars go by pretty loudly through our opened windows (it was summer in Alaska, meaning no AC in a lot of places). OVERALL: Clean, cute, cheap, small, and quirky place to stay. Would stay again only if we couldn't find any place decent and needed a clean inn to stay at. However, would like a hotel closer to downtown. The lady left an impression that was "interesting". You kind of have to be in the mood for a place like this. If the lady was a little more to herself on some of her comments, I think we would have felt a little more at ease. read more

Well I have your answer: Qupqugiaq Inn! You get to meet some very interesting and we'll behaved people. You have a kitchen that is pimped out with all the appliances needed to prepare a meal.

Finally, if meeting people from all over the world is your thing, then look no further because this is your kind of place. Awesome, cheap and did I say awedome?...

Staff was good and helpful. I think a 2.5 star would be more appropriate You get what you pay for! The rooms were OK, but the bathroom door did not latch and did not shut fully. The rooms were decent. Breakfast was basic but decent. Bread , cereal , bananas etc. Hygiene seemed to be an issue here. You had to wash your breakfast plates and put it back for use by other people. Felt that at the very least a dishwasher would have been nice. read more

Infested with bedbugs. I am so upset about my stay at the Qupqugiaq Inn. I woke up to a live bug on me and sheets spotted with blood. I ran out as soon as possible and had to clean everything. I have dozens of bites. Ruined my trip. Stay away. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. This place is a dive motel located on a very busy and very loud street in an iffy part of town next to a Mexican restaurant/bar. This is low end Motel 6 at a truck stop. We booked a private room with bath and checked into room #2. This is one of the rooms downstairs facing the super busy street in the parking lot. Think Motel 6 and you have it right. Upon opening the door my husband and I were greeted with a DISGUSTING smell the mixture of smoke and urine. On one bed we found used wet towels. On the carpet - dark stains. In the heater - paper trash stuffed into it. The blankets stank, the blinds were bent, dirty and dusty. The bathroom was gross and smelled like a trucker toilet. All this for the wonderful price of $110 a night. So back to the office I went with a very disgusted husband loading the car. They showed me another room upstairs. Still facing the loud street. The smell still hung in the room, the noise still interrupted your thoughts. And of course they refuse to give me any money back at all. While I understand the 48 hour rule if you have to cancel - but when you check someone into a room that looks like a hooker had been killed in it - how can you NOT try to accommodate the person with something? So my only recourse is to write this HONEST and TRUTHFUL review on every web site I can find. As a fair warning to any traveller out there wanting just a clean and quiet room for the night. Go elsewhere as quickly as possible. For $30 more we got a Club Lounge Room at the Sheraton. read more

I love this place, in the summer. In the winter the price is comparable to a hotel, but the tourist season brings out the joy of a quality room to sleep at a much more reasonable price. I almost hate to tell people it rocks, because there are few such rooms in the summer and I'd like to leave it as my secret. However, it needs to stay open if I'm going to be able to access it, and giving props to the owners are necessary. So is sharing the love, which this place does so very well. read more

We arrived at this place after a long stop and go flight to anchorage. The place was filthy and lacked basic amenities in our room like toilet paper. There was a fire alarm at 3 in the morning and we were afraid to leave our belongings in our room to go outside. We all slept fully dressed and tried to not touch anything. The morning brought us the local meth head prostitute quizzing us in the parking lot and then trying to get into the building when others left. A one star review is much higher than this deserves. I definitely would NOT recommend staying here. read more

So, this place is a little weird--but clean, safe, and actually kinda hip. The decor is amazing. The price is a bit low, and in Anchorage that could mean very sketchy and scary, but that simply was *not the case*. If you have trouble pronouncing the name, just call it "The Q" -- everybody knows what it is. We got stuck in Anchorage due to some peak travel airline woes, and decided to crash here for the night with the kids. Yes, i felt at home even with kids here. It seems to have a bit of a community atmosphere, friendly guests, and maybe almost hostel like. But you will get a private room at least. I admit, I have not stayed here in a couple years, but I have some friends in the area who concur with my assessment of this Anchorage oddity, and it appears that it is still a quality location to rest your head. read more

Well, it's cheap. And the location seems convenient enough - being about 10 minutes from the airport, as well as 10 minutes from downtown. The employees were friendly enough, but the whole operation seemed incredibly disorganized. Check-in was at 3, but when we got there a little after 3, we were told the room wasn't ready, and to come back in about a half hour. Slightly annoying, but not the end of the world. So we went downtown for a bit, and came back around 4. We were able to get into the room, however, there was no bedding, as they were having issues with their clothes dryer. We kept being told that they'd be ready "soon", but it wasn't until after 8 before we finally got bedding. Again, it's not the end of the world, but after traveling all morning, we were really looking forward to being able to crash in the afternoon, so to not have any bedding was quite irritating. The following morning, we called the office to extend our check-out time by an hour to 1pm. The woman who answered the phone begrudgingly said that'd be fine, but apparently didn't relay the message on to the guy who was working the front desk, as he came by the room around 12:15 to ask why we hadn't checked out yet - and then said he didn't get the memo when my gf told him that we called down to extend check-out to 1. The room itself was ok. The floor looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in months, so that was fairly off-putting. Otherwise, it was pretty clean and comfortable. The highlight of the stay was when we were trying to check in and the woman working said "There's coffee available, but good luck finding a mug." and proceeded to tell us how she had to cool her coffee off so she could drink it out of a glass, since they apparently had no clean mugs. Well, alright then. It's fine for a one night stay in Anchorage, but for any longer period of time, I'd probably stay somewhere where I didn't need to supply my own mug. read more

I ordered this place from some website that said they were a bed and breakfast, but I arrived in Sep 2013 and they only do breakfast during the summer season. I got this place from a discount website for a pretty good deal. I was looking for "the local experience", and I got my money's worth. I got the "Alaskan" experience. I would stay here again, but I think it would be too much for a person that really likes the Hilton or even Extended Stay. I can understand the zero's in the other evaluations, but it's not that kind of place. It's not even a Motel 6. Everyone shares the frig and stove in the lobby. I always thought it was funny because the Indian prop mgr would always see me on the camera and come in from his motor home to make sure I wasn't stealing, and I'm thinking he's got 20 bikes in the parking lot, where is he stealing all those from?!! :-) LOL Black-on-black suspicion :-) Anyway, the experience was QUITE memorable ... I mean UNFORGETTABLE ... I mean left an INDELIBLE imprint in my mind :-) I would have given them 3 stars, but their advertised WIFI never worked. They did have a fair amount of TV stations. read more

I was expecting something a little hip and bohemian given the last few reviews. This place was a big disappointment. We got to our room and it was hot. The dusty thermostat didn't work and the base heaters wouldn't turn off. The tiny window had no screen and barely cooled the room down. Since our entryway faced a busy street, we didn't feel comfortable leaving our door open. Outside smelled like booze. The yellow blinds gave the impression that although you have to sign a waiver saying smoking is cause for eviction, someone had been smoking in there. We pulled our sheets back and found a hair and some crumbs on the fitted sheet. Our floor hadn't been vacuumed In a while. When we went to check out no one was at the desk. After a while another guest said he would go get the manager, but another tenant came out and told us there were no check out procedures and we could just leave. Although it was a cheap place to stay at $73. We wouldn't stay again. It was ghetto and dirty. If you're comfortable in ghetto or looking for cheap place to stay, this place might be your style. read more

Ok....at $54 a night with a shared bathroom, this is not for everyone. That said, they are close to the airport and close to downtown to make it work. The rooms are clean (I stayed 2 nights, then another night later in the week). It was quiet, in spite of being sold out and it fit the bill. All other hotels are$129 and up. Could the service be better--yes but they were pleasant. Could the TV have worked (both time????)--yes, but you are in Alaska. Get out and see the city. I would stay here again. read more

7-9-19 1030hrs Jenn, Blonde woman, glasses, manager, just turned me away. Went downstairs to amend my reservation. Waited patiently while she smoked a cigarette outside. When she came back in, i asked to amend my reservation. She said, "i have to finish this housekeeping list first". I said, "ok, ill be back later, i guess". Her reply? "Ok". Her name was jenn. I went to front desk 15min later, and asked if she wasnt too busy, she said, "yes". I told her how rude she had been, her reply, "why would i give you another room now?" Thats when i flipped my lid. She threatened cancellation. I said go ahead and left. Note: there was three witnesses. I Think all worked there. Please investigate. I took video of the room when i left cause i dont trust her. PS. I was there three days. All she did was smoke cigarettes and talk loudly on the phone about other employees. Not the good talk either. Shes just as rude to patrons as she is to Her staff. Ugly ugly woman. Additionally, there were druggies hanging out there in the parking lot. I counted 10 tweekers coming and going and hanging out. You do NOT want to walk anywhere. These druggies are everywhere around here. Very very dangerous. Room was fine. Dont expect much. Not a place for single women or families. read more

Pretty decent for the price. Have stayed in both rooms with a private bath and the upstairs rooms as well. I don't like sharing a bathroom so I'd suggest getting a private room. They are small though. I don't like the feeling of being watched to get my own food out of the shared fridge. It seems to be run like a halfway house with rules and curfews. It's a bit cleaner than most for the price. As always, you get what you pay for. read more

Qupqugiaq Inn - Hotels Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I was ripped off. Went to a room and was promised 1 facing 36th 3 days from then, looked good I paid to make sure I got it, Arrived, checked in, was given a room adjacent to the patio, the sliding door to the patio/smoking area did not lock. The room was as humid as a rain forest and the bed was sort of made with dirty filthy linen, I pulled back the blanket and saw hair and worse.... I went to the desk and mentioned all of this, especially the unlocking door which also led directly to the outside, and was told I had no need to worry, no one steals here... Finally i mentioned that I work at night and needed a quieter room, as requested 3 days ago when I paid. This did get action, 3 hours later I was allowed to move to a room more akin to what I was promised. The next day I learned I needed a week more in Anchorage and paid for a total of 10 nights. The following morning, when I returned from work to sleep, I was told I had a woman in my room against the rules and had to leave within 20 minutes. I was like WHAT? First of all, no, I was gone when they said and I could prove I was working, If they really wanted me to go, fine give me the remainder of my cash, 8 of 10 nights I wouldnt be there. I was told NO, they called the police, I knew I had to go, packed and when APD arrived I showed them the room so they could not claim damages, I also let APD know I was leaving peaceably, could they help with a refund? I was told flatly that the Q regularly boots cash paying customers for no reason, but its private property and a civil matter if i wanted to got to sue...Sorry but you are this weeks lucky guy. They were actually really nice, gave me a ride to where I finished my in town stay. Thanks APD, Jen the manager that stole my cash I have since learned is a notorious shyster in dire need of NA or intervention, she is who allows all the druggies listed in other reviews here free run of the place, that means they also get to steal food from the community frig, stay here and you will see. I exaggerate nothing. read more
