Noisy neighbors.
When. Check in to my room the people next to me were very loud disrupted so I called The front desk and complain they took care of it, but it didn’t stop them from making noise and waking me up so I called front desk and Ask them if I can get a different room they had no problem. They put me in another room quickly, nice and quiet and clean the police came and ran the others out.

It was ok.
The room was nice, and the beds were pretty soft, but on the night before we checked out the person working the front accidentally gave the wrong room information to another person staying at the hotel and opened our door a quarter of the way before realizing that we had the room booked. It almost led to me having a panic attack but other than that incident the overall stay was just ok.

Pleasant stay
The room was cleaning, I found a few hairs in the bath and in the bed.
I stayed 6 nights and on day two they collected the trash, on day four they changed two towels. That was all housekeeping did, no cleaning, no bedmaking, no replenishing of soaps shower gel.
The breakfast was the normal but ran out of supplies early.
WiFi worked but was slow.
A little more attention to detail would have made it better

Big Belly, Bad Attitude
The room and facility alone were fine; also the evening staff mostly was decent. Daytime representative (pregnant female), however, was terrible. Worst attitude imaginable, is in dire need of an attitude adjustment. These things have an impact on one's overall experience, and in this case it is resulting in me rating this property with two stars instead of four. Hopefully I will never need to travel to Anchorage again, but if I do it is unlikely that I will stay at Puffin Inn again.

Puffin inn. A good place to stay
It’s an older hotel but kept up nice. Friendly staff. My room was very small but fine for just an overnight.

Dingy room. Very noisy and angry neighbors. Was in the outer motel rooms. Would have been tolerable for the price if wasn't for very thin walls and noise.
