Historic Anchorage Hotel

Great location in a unique old property. Large room with kitchenette. We enjoyed our short stay and had a good night’s sleep in a comfy bed. No night noise to bother you. Would recommend if you’re looking for part of Alaska history and not a big chain.

Now for the negative No air-conditioning in the rooms although there obviously used to be, there is ductwork for the air-conditioning and where a return vent used to be a sheet of plywood covering the hole. There is an amazing bar, but they don’t use it as a bar. They use it for storage. To call the breakfast mediocre would be an insult to mediocre, preformed eggs, cold oatmeal and Limited selection. I booked a suite for a family of four when I walked in the room and had to be at least 80° in there. I don’t think they opened the windows until just before we arrived. The mini fridge had not been plugged in. I had to pull it out and plug it in myself, and because it sits in the room, not plugged in there was visible mildew inside the refrigerator.. I also don’t think that the bathroom ventilation is working properly. It stayed hot and humid for hours after taking a shower.

A very nice stay, we highly recommend this hotel. Nothing.

Staff was great and welcoming. W No king bed available and I booked in January for a June stay. Indicates walking distance to the Alaska RR depot - you could walk but it was very far and done a steep hill. We Ubered.

Exceptional

Lots of good restaurants within walking distance. There are some unhoused people in the area, something to keep in mind. Less than 10 minute walk, all downhill, to the Alaska railroad. Thankfully we had nice, sunny weather so it was an easy walk.

Only negative…no AC. Fans are provided and windows open to let the breeze thru. Would stay here again. 2 blocks from convention center where Princess cruise buses from. Train station walking distance as well.

My only complaint was that it didn’t have air conditioning. It was probably listed as not having AC but I didn’t think to verify, so that’s on me.

Cool place to stay if you want to experience an older hotel with lots of history. No A/C or heating but they do have oscillating fans and space heaters. Older amenities. Cool physical key for room entry.

Just as described

Sure didn't look like what I expected. Advertising way over promised. Not worth anything close to price. Breakfast was very low quality for a $5xx room. Disappointed.

Great staff very helpful.

Very good

A beautiful stay, right in the heart of downtown Anchorage! Our room was spacious and clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and there are several fantastic restaurants in walking distance.

Very nice property. Woman at the front desk was great.

Good

Breakfast was fresh and good. Everything was very clean and put together so well, I will be staying there again. Very Inviting. Staff and owner excellent! It is so nice to stay in a historical place that still have the original fixtures and is so very clean and put together. You feel like you're in part of that old history.

The room and the hotel was great. It was like staying in a hotel in the 1800s but with modern comforts. Shops and restaurants within walking distance was nice. There were some homeless in the area and one of them was getting aggressive with us. Thankfully there were cops walking around and they came to our aid. So thankful for that.

Really fantastic location that is walkable to everything you need and very affordable. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is no airport shuttle but it only takes about 15 minutes to get there via ride share. Buffet breakfast was a great way to start the day with a ton of variety and options. Rooms were very warm in the winter and often needed the circular fan that was included.

I got bit twice by “something” on my left arm and back that looks like a spider or flea. Overall had a great stay and excellent service.
