Reviews and Ratings
I have stayed at Windbreak motel multiple times in Alaska, and I've always appreciated the reasonable prices and convenient location. However, this last visit was disappointing. The bed was uncomfortably hard, and noise from other guests made it hard to sleep. While the housekeeper was a highlight, it might be time for me to find a new spot.
I’ve stayed at this motel on multiple trips to Alaska, appreciating its central location and decent prices. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing due to a hard bed, noisy surroundings, and outdated mattresses. While the housekeeper went above and beyond to help, the overall experience has left me hesitant to return.
I had a rough experience at this hotel. The location is great since it's above a couple of decent restaurants, but the room quality was lacking. The bed was harder than I expected and the pillows were pretty flat, which made for some uncomfortable nights. While the housekeeper was helpful, the noise from other guests was quite bothersome. I might consider looking elsewhere next time I visit Wasilla.
While this hotel offers reasonable prices and a convenient location, my recent stay was disappointing. The rooms were in need of serious updates and comfort, particularly the beds. Although the housekeeper was exceptional in providing additional pillows and towels, noisy neighbors made for an exhausting experience. I appreciated the dining options nearby, but I'm not sure I would return given the issues we encountered.
My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location is pretty convenient, being close to restaurants and easy to get around. Unfortunately, the room was not very comfortable due to the worn-out bed and the noise from other guests. The service left a lot to be desired, especially with the manager's attitude. I might consider other options next time.
