I CANNOT understate the HORRIFIC nature of my check-in. I have NEVER felt so close to being physically ASSAULTED by the men there at/during check-in. Truly, the ANC Police Dept should have been present, perhaps investigate, as well as ANY governing agency holding authority over hotels in ANC.
NOBODY at the desk upon arrival...so 3 call-outs to anyone went un-answered. There is a door marked "Security" close to the front desk, which was open about 6 inches or so. I called repeatedly into the room and barely touched it as I called out for ANYONE to check me in. I immediately smelled and witnessed EVERYONE in the room smoking pot--and it appeared that there was drug paraph. both in the bed and on a small table easily within view.
Within seconds, I was accosted by THREE males PHYSICALLY THREATENING me for touching the door that had exposed EVERYONE inside doing drugs! Thank God, there was a lone female that "processed" the check-in as quickly as possible and tried to talk the males "down" that were threatening me. She required NO ID as long as I kept me my shut and tried over & over to get the men in the place to stop cussing at me, and most espec. to stop THREATENING me for "opening the door" to their drug use.
I have NEVER been soooooo scared for my personal safety at ANY lodging anywhere IN THE WORLD that I've traveled. There is soooooo much more detail, but these reviews aren't equipped for what truly amounts to a statement that should be given to the Police.
