Wonderful and friendly staff. Couldn't get the tv to work. No microwave, no refrigerator

This was a terrible disappointment, The Windbreak Cafe, has been around awhile. As an Alaskan I have been a loyal customer. However I recently rented a room and was shocked by the condition of rooms and hotel. $130 a night for a slum, No amenities spotty internet and loose plumbing fixtures. Not to mention the fire hazard in the bathroom. Dirty , no ice or anything else after 9:30. And during the evening load music from the bar below. Very dirty and run down, total lack of maintenance and a snooty manager who totally blew me off, saying it was the cheapest room in town. Although that is untrue. Service is unacceptable, I would not stay there again, and now I will change restaurants. Because of the manager. Who obviously doesn't care about the future of this business.

The place seemed old, but nothing too bad about the property. I could slightly hear music from the bar in my room. There could've been a mini fridge added to help keep my drinks cold, but they didnt have one. Besides that, it was a good hotel for cheap.

The Windbreak Hotel, Cafe, and Lounge is in good condition and well maintained. The staff is kind, helpful, and efficient. The food and service at the Trout House Cafe is 2nd to none in the Wasilla area, the lounge is nostalgic and family friendly. What a great place to stay at in your Alaska adventures! Nick, Colorado

This place is a dump! The first clue is when checking in you do it at the bar where people are eating or drinking and just jump in on the conversation your having with the bar maid/hotel clerk. Very unprofessional. As for the room it’s over a very noise bar! You have to go through a locked smoky stairwell then a locked hallway to get to your room that was not clean; dirty carpet, bedsheets looked like someone had already slept on, No screen on the open window, paint flaking on windowsill, bathroom not cleaned, in room heater is sitting on a drip pan and vented through outside wall. You want a cheap room then book this place. Will never recommend this hotel to anyone!

This a very clean hotel, reminded us of the early 70's. No frills if you want a placd to just sleep and shower this is it. The only thing we would have liked was a clock so when you wake up you could see what time it was. The staff was incredibly nice. We would definetly stay again.

The Windbreak is clean, has a comfortable bed, a television, & is economical. That is all I need on a quick trip to visit family.

When attepting to check in I was told they had no record of my reservation. I showed my Expedia reservation and they denied receiving it and had no rooms available

Its small but decent. Bed was not too shabby friendly staff awesome food.

My expectations may have been 2 high given what they charged a night. No microwave, 1 channel, and no phone in room.

Basic room, small but comfortable. On site restaurant and bar!

The Windbreak is an economical reasonably clean place for a short stay.

good food (you pay for it) just a room but in the peak season it is a good room for under $100

Dirty and rundown. It is above a weird bar that is super noisy in the evening. Steep stairs going to the upper level. Not ada friendly. The room was dirty. Fixtures missing lightbulbs. Outlets missing covers. The maid didn’t clean the room. I realize it’s a cheap hotel and you get what you pay for. But yuck. It’s a weird gross place even by Alaska standards. It seems like the hotel is an afterthought and very poorly managed. You can’t check in after 9pm.

Motel is conveniently located just off the Parks Highway. Has a nice restaurant and bar right on the property and is quite secure, with a key to the main door plus room key. Because of the bar below is was a LITTLE noisy at night but I had no problem sleeping. Had a GREAT meal with generous portions and enjoyed the huge Margarita! All in all a good stopping place when driving from the Kenai to Fairbanks or beyond.

Rooms were sold out in Anchorage so this place saved me from sleeping in the car. Check in was confusing, you should include instructions about checking in with the bartender. Room was clean, mattress old but I slept good. Did not clean the room but I was ok with that.

Expedia told me verbatim that this hotel had a hotel check in desk, THEY do not. You have to go into the bar, wait for her with bar patrons then helps hotel guest. These people probably know more about gin and rum than they know about hotel service. A/C in one of my rooms was nonexistent. 80 degrees out side it was 86 in my room . I went back to bar staff and told them, they said they’d fix it. We were gone for nearly 4 hours, and after a 6 hour road trip we were tired, but I still had no a/c. The bartender said they could not fix it but put a box fan in the 86 degree room. They had a sign on our doors not to open the windows, so I asked her where will I get the cold air from to cool the room, she just kept apologizing and offered me a refund to go elsewhere; at 9pm I’m supposed to be able to find another hotel for my brother and I? I told them they are responsible for making sure their equipment is in proper working condition before booking and taking our money. I opened the window any way and put the box fan into it. The hotel is non smoking but someone was smoking dope and they were not even moved by that so I asked them why aren’t you doing something but they did not know what to do so I told them to get some air freshener. The staffer brought it to me without even spraying the hall or looking for the culprit. Hotel business is not for immature juveniles who don’t have a clue what they are doing or supposed to provide for guest. Expedia needs to be more responsible!

Is better if I don’t say anything about my experience in this hotel!!

There was no clerk for me to checking, therefore I never stayed here... they took my money and did not allow me to check in

They were able to accommodate well. The rooms were too hot.

That it was in the middle of most everything. If it was summer I could have walked everywhere.

Hotel was hard to find. Very poor signage. Bed was clean and but not comfortable. The room was hot. Windows had screen but no fan which would have helped cool the room and block out soon of the highway noise. The carpet was very dirty - needs to be replaced. The on-site restaurant was nice.

Jasmine and Aleska were just as nice as could be. Room had small beds and room got too hot so we checked out a few days early but they made it right. Good location and close to shopping and restaurants.

The staff was nice but the beds were beyond horrible. No phone or fridge in the room no extra pillows. It's not handicap friendly and road noise was annoying.

This was a great budget hotel. I always love to stay at locally owned inns. Windbreak Hotel is exactly what i look for when booking a place to stay. The room fit our needs: comfortable, quiet, clean. The best part is the proximity to food. An Alaskan halibut dinner and a yummy breakfast really made our stay extra special.

Would not recommend this place. I paid online at hotels.com and when I arrived for check in, they told me hotels.com does not pay them and charged me again at a different rate.

The staff was rude. The room was old and gross. The beds were from 1950. The towels reeked of bleach and made our skin itch and smell. We almost asked for our money back and left. Those are just a few of the highlights - Need I say more?

We didn't stay. No where did Expedia make it obvious that you had to be there by 10:30pm to check in or you are out of luck. We paid for the room and then were locked out and had to go find other accommodations.
