Anchorage, AK

Rooms are clean and dated with poor temperature control and unreliable hot water. Staff quality varies wildly but some standouts exist. You pay high prices for an aging building in a rough area far from downtown, with expensive parking and inconsistent maintenance response.

Spacious, clean rooms with comfortable beds and good staff make this a solid value near the airport. Expect an older building with quirky AC units and inconsistent housekeeping during longer stays. Breakfast and restaurants are decent but one closes early on weekends.

Rooms are smaller than some hotels but comfortable with good views. Staff goes above and beyond to help you. The lobby and restaurant got nice renovations recently. Pool is currently closed for remodeling.

Spacious suites with Victorian charm and good breakfast, but no AC, stuffy rooms, and street noise. Staff varies wildly from helpful to rude. Downtown location beats chain hotels for walkability.
