The best hotel in Anchorage. This is a convenient spot for a work conference with 5 very nice restaurants on the property with varied options. Courteous, professional staff and great location downtown. Some of the rooms are small but clean, comfortable and modern.
Hotel is dated, but very clean. This time of year there’s nothing to do outside. The junior sweet was nice and clean. It was a comfortable stay with restaurants like fletchers close by and open most of the time.
Staff was incredible and accommodated each of my requests. Property is very unique - older and "old-school" and in beautiful condition. My room had a wonderful view and was enormous. On-site dining options are convenient and delicious.
A bit on the pricey side but very nice property with several dining options on site. Located far enough from the train depot that you cannot hear the trains. Good view from the higher floors.
We had the best time here. The rooms were comfortably spacious, with the exception of the shower/bathroom. Overall, the hotel itself offered a lot and is right in the heart art of multiple must see’s.
Parking was 40 a day. Food establishment with hotel were a mazing. Best breakfast i had on my 14 day trip Definitely the place to stay and woul rebook again.
A Stay Filled with Kindness and Grace
I recently stayed at this hotel with my dear friend of over thirty years, who is in the advanced stages of muscular dystrophy. This trip was meant to be a small but meaningful getaway — a chance for us to rest and share time together — and the staff made it truly special.
From check-in to checkout, everyone was friendly and professional, but Ross, the Front Desk Manager, stood out in an extraordinary way. He arranged for fresh roses to be waiting in our room and extended a late checkout so my friend could rest comfortably before our departure. Those small gestures turned an ordinary hotel stay into something deeply memorable.
I’ve stayed here several times over the years, but this visit touched me most. The compassion and quiet care shown reminded me that real hospitality is about seeing people and meeting them where they are.
Heartfelt thanks to Ross and the entire team — you created a memory we will both treasure.
The property is very central to downtown Anchorage. The hotel is very nicely maintained and beautifully decorated. Would highly recommend the hotel to anyone thinking about staying in the area.
