Lodging Anchorage 1st and 2nd Juni '08
 

Hi there,

Can anyone recommend a cheap/good place to stay for a few days in Anchorage? I'll fly in on june 1st, my bike a few days earlier.
Just need a few days to get the bike from the crate, sleep off the jetlag and enjoy Anchorage.

tnx.

If you have a tent, you can camp free at the Harley Davidson dealer in Anchorage - no matter what kind of bike you have.

Try the hostels, they were pretty cheap. Can't remember the name of the one we stayed in but just google it and you'll find a few.

Try a University
 

The University of Alaska may allow you to stay in one of their dorm rooms for a low cost and Spartan accommodations. The only factor is this may not be allowed during the active semesters.

It is and option and here are some contact information.

Another option is join CouchSurfing . Once you are verified you can stay with people with in the network. I think there are other motorcyclist among them.

Please PM me with your email. I am going to look at other forums for available contacts which I can forward back to you.

All the best

If you head towards Fairbanks
 

The University of Alaska at Fairbanks offers lodging. The Residence Manager sent you an email via your Blog address.
