Very nice motel, convenient to Anchorage and the state fair. Laundry facilities are excellent, very clean.
Room was comfortable and having a Keurig was a nice addition
The Pioneer Motel is nice, but basic. I do not agree that it is a "boutique" motel. You receive the minimum in amenities. The hotel is in a good location and a good starting point for local sights. We stayed there during the Alaska State Fair and it met our needs just fine.
The room was very nice and it was great having a full kitchen. It was close to plenty of eating establishments and the staff were quick to help when we had a minor issue with our key. Would definitely stay again
Room was clean and the furniture seemed pretty good for the price. Having a kitchen in the unit was super nice. It was nice being able to park right outside the door to the unit. Staff was super friendly and helpful, and the self-check in process was very convenient.
Clean and well maintained motel. Comfortable mattress. Nice to have a fridge and a microwave. The location is conveniently located to a supermarket and restaurants. It is not Ritz Carlton but exceeded my expectations for a motel.
