Absolutely awful. The front desk lady was very nice at first, but ended up being an absolutely rude and judgemental person by the morning. We were polite. Left the room clean. She litterally kicked me out because thr management there is to cheap to fix the back door lock, and my boyfriend put a rock in front of it to prop it open so we could get back in (we stood right outside the door it's not like we let anyone in !) She litterally asked me if I was on drugs and profiled me based off the way i look because I'm tattooed and she knew I was a dancer . Do not recommend. She cussed at me when I left the keys in the front and asked her if she needed anything from me. Wouldn't even look me in the eye.

When I travel I dont anything fancy - a clean bed, shower and towels, etc. This place if functional and suits my needs. The room is adequate, clean and comfortable. No A/C is common this far north as are shared facilities (kitchen and bathroom) for some older hotels. Think of it as a return to college, to a degree. The shower stalls could use a good cleaning, I checked two and they both looked pretty bad (the rest of the bathroom looked okay). However, I will never stay again - based solely on how rude the person was when I arrived. I tried to be pleasant, but he simply barked instructions at me. I felt more like I was being booked than checked in. I have friends in Anchorage law enforcement who, upon learning I had booked a room here, urged me to move. They apparently respond here frequently and warned me to leave absolutely nothing of value in my car. While nothing happened to my car, the attitude of the person at the desk said a lot - it was obvious they deal with some difficult people, but I was an out of town guest, not a felon looking for a place to stay. They even have a sign by the office warning you - if you obey the house rules (photo of Glenda, The Good Witch) - if you dont (photo of the Full Metal Jacket Marine Drill Instructor. I just wish they would start with the Glenda attitude, not the Gunny Sgt. Others have had good experiences here, based on the reviews, but if you are looking for friendly staff, go elsewhere. === Thanks for your response Max. But I just point out my observations. Your clerk (or perhaps is was you?) was very rude to me at check in from the first words out of his mouth. This greeting put me off to speaking with him again, so I didn't bring concerns to him about the bathrooms, or his attitude. The sign on the window doesn't seem very hospitable either. As for the law enforcement aspect, I simply conveyed what local folks told me - they are in the building multiple times every month; this is recent info, not old news. They seriously urged me to cancel my reservation, eat the fees and sleep on their floor instead. I'm glad to hear that others were treated well, but this a review of my experiences, not theirs. I'm sure anyone reading these reviews can come to their own decision and, obviously, the majority opinion is positive. This is what prompted me to select this hotel. But I won't again. So if you were interested in good customer service, perhaps a 'sorry that happened, we'll try to do better' or reaching out to me to discuss the issues would have been your response. I have no axe to grind, I simply write reviews of places I visit during my travels. Most are quite positive. But Ingra House - I won't be staying again - I suspect we'll both be happy about that. But please - do clean the showers. I'm including some photos so people don't think that's 'hearsay' as well.

I felt quite confortable and relaxed at this hotel. It turned out to be more quiet and clean than some of the other hotels I stayed at during my vacation. I was pleasantly surprised by the new and modern fixtures and furniture ( as this had nor been the case with some of the other recommended hotels). Rooms: The rooms were cozy and equipped with desk, bed, mini fridge , closet, phone and TV . Towels and shampoo & conditioner were available upon arrival. The room was very modern. Safety: While in the city, the hotel compound remains safe with someone at the desk at all times and key card access inly to areas of entry. Walkability: Most definitely walkable distance to heart of the city. Noteworthy details: The hosts were very pleasant, polite and accommodating. As a visitor not from North America, they were able to answer all my questions and provide information and tips for sightseeing and moving around. They communicated well with each other before shift changes so there wasn't any confusion or distress for guests. I wasn't sure what to expect with the shared spaces ( bathroom & kitchen). But they turned out to be completely fine: guests were respectful of each others spaces, the spaces were immaculately clean and well maintained and the fixtures were new and modern. Entry and exit to these shared areas were clearly outlined and indicated.
