Aspen Suites Hotel is a dog friendly hotel ($20 per night, per dog) that has a kitchenette that…read moreallows for hotel guest to cook in their room during their travel. My husband and I were traveling to Alaska with our little girl dog (she always travels with us) and so I thought this would be a good hotel to stay in but am thankful that I only booked this place for one night because we had a poor experience. This hotel is across from a plaza with Starbucks and Hilton Garden Inn. We stayed for one night (a Saturday) in a queen suite, which cost me ~$280 for one night. We had arrived earlier in Anchorage than expected and so we called the hotel to ask if our room would be ready. The employee said probably after 12 pm. So later on, we had called around 1:45 pm if a room would be available to check in earlier (check in is at 3 pm). The employee said yes and so we drove over. When we checked in, we were surprised to be told by the employee checking us in that there is no room available yet, even though this was the exact same employee who told us (over the phone) that a room was available. We ended up waiting in the car until 3. So at 3 pm, we finally checked in. Got the luggage dolly and headed up to the second floor. However, the room we went in had a very, very strong smell of mold, mildew and a chemical cleaning smell. My husband was already out of patience by then and so we headed back to the front desk. Another employee said that we could only be placed in this room because the 2nd floor is the pet floor... but since there is no other rooms she refused to give us another room. After some arguing from my husband, we were placed in another room, but on the first floor (right next to the laundry room. Yes there are coin operated washers and dryers in this hotel). This room was clean and did not have a odor but it was annoying to hear the laundry room door slam throughout the day and part of the evening. A few days after we had checked, I saw on my credit card bill that I was over charged a pet fee for our stay. But at least the manager I spoke to on the phone was able to credit me back the fee. But find it to be annoying that I was over charged (again we only stayed one night) and had to call to reverse the charge. I also glad that I always like to check my credit card transactions regularly to catch things like this. The room itself was fine and space was comfortable for 2 people and a pet. But was expecting much better service.

This place was complete with kitchen, hot tub in the back deck, and bbq. I would rate this 5 stars however it was hard to get sleep due to there being no blinds on the first story windows and felt the tub needed a little TLC. I would recommend this for a couple or small family looking to spend some time in Girdwood.

I'm a solo traveler so didn't need all this space, but I appreciate this comfort. Three downsides: the bathroom wasn't all that clean, I could hear every word and movement of the people in the next unit, and they leave their dog tied up with no bed or shelter. I didn't check the hot tub to see whether it was clean. The other people staying there werent being loud, the walls are just obviously not well insulated. That poor dog sat in the dirt for hours and hours on a short chain right outside my door. As a dog lover, this bothered me greatly.

But the place looked so homely, that we cancelled all plans and decided to rather relax.
