Alaska's Select Inn Wasilla

The great things about this hotel are the kitchenette and the staff. This small hotel is pretty tired. My carpet had a large (18") tear in it. The curtains needed to be cleaned. There were water/rust stains in the sink and tub. But everything was clean. I was on the ground floor, since I had lots of heavy luggage and there's no elevator, and the ceiling/second floor floor is like carpeted plywood -- like super echo-y and loud if anyone's staying above you. The place gets really hot; I turned my heat completely off and kept my window open until I went to sleep and it was still too warm. The kitchen is pretty well outfitted, but with janky stuff. The staff were super helpful and cheerful. The location was good for me -- between Palmer and Wasilla. Quiet area. Laundry was only $2 per machine, and the office staff were happy to sell me quarters. Bed was comfortable. Three huge closets. Not a lot of outlets.

Great if looking for a long or short stay. Miles in the office is awesome! Room was clean. Had trouble with the TV the first weekend I was there. Be warned there is a second floor but no elevators. I would stay again if I needed to be in Wasilla overnight.

We had a hard time finding the place because there are no signs when we followed the emailed directions we were given and it was after dark. The only sign was on the opposite side of the building on a different road. It looks like apartments so we drove by, got lost in houses, then called. Super nice man talked us back and got us to the parking lot. Inside has no lobby but the service desk is in housekeeping room. No big deal. Our room was a comfortable suite and very clean. The only other problem we had was the heat didn't work in our room so it was a bit cool all night. We asked how to adjust the heat but it did nothing when turning the dial. The pipe never heated up.
