Chelsea Inn Hotel Anchorage, Anchorage

I stayed at this hotel thinking I was getting a budget deal, but it turned out to be more of a nightmare. The room was not only small but also dirty, with questionable stains on the bedding and an overall unpleasant smell. The area outside felt unsafe with a lot of chaotic activity, which made me uncomfortable. I wish I had spent a little more money to stay somewhere more respectable.

The stay at the Chelsea Inn was quite uncomfortable, and I wish I had chosen somewhere else despite the low price. The rooms were unclean with visible stains, and the shared bathroom facilities were far from ideal. On the plus side, the location is close to the airport, which is convenient if you're in a pinch. However, the overall atmosphere left me feeling uneasy, especially with questionable individuals lingering around the property.

I booked a room at Chelsea Inn, thinking it would be a budget option before my cruise. While the price was appealing at $99, the experience was far from pleasant. The bedding was less than clean and the atmosphere felt sketchy. Though I shouldn't have expected too much for the price, I definitely learned my lesson about how ‘cheap’ doesn’t always equal ‘value for money’.

This hotel is a mixed bag. While I appreciated the low price and the helpful staff, the surrounding area felt unsafe and the room conditions left much to be desired. It's a decent option if you're in a tight spot, but be prepared for some sketchy moments outside and less-than-ideal room quality.
