Massive room - Historic Anchorage Hotel

This hotel is in a central location in downtown Anchorage in walking distance to a variety of restaurants and tourist shops. The hotel staff is professional and very pleasant willing to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Our room was very clean and furnished adequately. Weekend late nights can be a bit noisy outside the hotel area though We had a quiet room facing the back. Breakfast was very basic- a couple of cereal choices, breads and waffles, juice. Parking is available, $10 per day at a lot that is a quick walk across the street.

We spent three nights at the Historic Anchorage Hotel. It is not new and modern, but makes up for it in charm. Our room was beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfortable.

The location is great. We were within walking distance of the Alaska Railroad Station as well as many of the things we wanted to do downtown. It was accessible enough to drop off shopping in our room.

Every time we walked into the lobby, I'd made the comment that I loved the hotel.

One note - it is an old hotel. The room did not have air conditioning, but there was a nice fan and the windows opened. We were comfortable every night even though the temperatures outside were warm.

I love authentic historic hotels and this one delivered. It's a little musty, but the staff is great and we got a lovely suite rather than a typical small hotel room. The location is right in the middle of downtown Anchorage and within walking distance of everything.
I loved the photo in the bathroom of Anchorage as a tent city. As a Floridian, my favorite memory is trying to turn on the air conditioner. Duh! I was in Alaska in a historic hotel!
