Historic Anchorage Hotel

Late night check in receptionist was very nice. Had welcome cookies. Room was clean, very spacious. Did not have air conditioning and no screens on any of the windows. Breakfast variety was good but stopped refilling items 45 min before cutoff time. OJ was rancid.

The bed was comfortable, and the overall room space was reasonable. The bathroom was far too small, especially for a king suite room. The toilet is only a couple of inches from the wall, so we had to sit sideways on it to use it. Also, it's a tiny toilet, which didn't help. We didn't feel like the price provided a good value, but maybe that's just the normal price in Anchorage. The breakfast was a very small buffet style that was about what you'd expect at a much lower cost Best Western (not Plus). Our biggest issue was at checkout. When we checked in, we arranged a late checkout of noon from the normal 11:00 time. The morning of checkout, we packed our bags, put them in the closet , left the "do not disturb" sign on the door and went off to a restaurant for breakfast. On our walk back at around 11:15, I received a call from the front desk saying that we had left items in the room (like all our luggage) and why hadn't we checked out. I informed him that we had a late checkout arranged, and he said he would let housekeeping know. When we got back to our room, housecleaning was inside and already cleaning, which really annoyed me. I told the lady with the clipboard that we had a late checkout arranged, and after checking the clipboard, she confirmed that it was noted and they missed it. You'd think once they saw our luggage in the room that a) they would check to see if we had a legitimate reason for not checking out by 11:00, and b) they would leave the room.

Very clean facility and had improvements for today’s tech world, but maintained character of historic property. Well located and close to shopping and restaurants

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.

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.
