Affordable places to stay in or near Anchorage, Alaska?
I am going to be traveling to Anchorage in the beginning of September and have been looking for places to stay and everything that I have been finding has seemed extremely expensive. Does anyone out there know of someplace in or near Anchorage that is reasonably priced?? And if you know of some places or areas that I wouldn't want a place to stay at please let me know that to. Thanks in advance!!!

Google "youth hostel anchorage" and 10 different hostels pop up. We have a different au pair living with us each year and several of them have used the youth hostels when they take a trip to Anchorage. Probably your cheapest option (other than camping) if you're a tourist here or while looking for a place to rent long-term. You don't have to be a student or a youth to stay. Just willing to share a same-sex room with 4-6 people. With showers down the hall. Hotels along Spenard (fairly close to the airport) tend to be older, cheaper, and sometimes seedier than ones downtown or mid-town. Friends have had good luck with priceline.com if they ask for about $90 rooms during the summer, $55 or so in winter. Beginning of September is very much shoulder season. Things are tapering off, but we're over the peak season of June-July-August. Willing to pay more, and I like the Voyager downtown. mini-kitchens in the rooms, with dishes, big rooms, friendly. Convenient downtown location. A lot of Alaskans use them when they have to be in Anchorage. Not cheap, but not more expensive then anyone else, either. They drop their rates a lot in winter.
