Highliner Hotel

What guests think

Highliner Hotel draws praise for its clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient, walkable location near downtown restaurants and attractions, with an on-site coffee shop that many guests found useful.

Several reviews note that rooms and bathrooms can be very small, with a few interior rooms lacking exterior windows. Temperature control is a recurring concern, with some guests reporting hot or stuffy rooms and occasional noise from neighboring rooms or overhead footsteps. The property has no elevator and parking can feel tight, and while the keyless system usually works well, a few guests experienced code issues or unreachable support after hours. Expect a simple, self-serve stay best for travelers comfortable with minimal staff interaction.

I will definitely be staying here again! I had one small problem with the electrical system in the room, which required resetting a hidden GFCI breaker. The hotel manager, Amanda, was very helpful, and comped me with a latte in the morning! I like the location, the comfort and the off-street parking, the friendliness! Definitely a five-star hotel.

Nice clean hotel, comfortable bed friendly staff. A little coffee shop in the lower level and a nice bakery breakfast-lunch place a block away. Easy 4 block walk to downtown. We arrived early and they were able to store our luggage until the room was clean about 12:30 for early check-in. No elevator, but they helped get luggage upstairs

I love this charming little hotel! It even has a coffee shop inside and a little cafe with wifi. Late checkout was a great option to have. It's very close to Pablo's Bike Rentals so you can go for a ride on the Tony Knowles Coastal trail if you like that kind of thing. I will definitely stay here again.

The Highliner is a small hotel in a building that has been renovated. It’s clean, comfortable, and quiet. The bathroom was a bit small but everything in the room worked well. I wasn’t sure how a fully automated hotel would work, but it was great. The staff was responsive and provided information via text and phone. We’d stay there again.

This hotel is cute and has a coffee shop attached to it. Our bed bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It’s in a great part of town and it’s walkable to a lot of places in Anchorage. Our room was 314 which did not have windows to the outside but to a communal hallway. The room got very warm and they had an air condition in the room free standing. It was not installed properly and blew cold air in the front and hot air in the back. If we were in another room with windows to the outside, probably would have been a better experience.

The bed was incredibly uncomfortable with a large dip on one side. You could not open the window as it opened into a communal landing and the room was stuffy and claustrophobic. There was no sound insulation and you could hear people talking and walking around, doors banging all hours. This in my opinion is only suitable for students on a budget.

My bad not researching enough. This is not a hotel. The room was so small I had to go outside to change my mind. Incredibly small room I felt trapped couldn’t move around room with out stubbing my toes on the bed frame that took up 99% of the room. Sketchy internet. Wasn’t for me at all for $350 per night. very uncomfortable uneasy feeling being in such small quarters.

Room was clean and comfortable. I left something on premises and when I reached out they went out of their way to find it and ship it back to me. Very close to Alaska Railroad for train ride to cruises. Perfect for our purposes! Highly recommend!

The room was TINY.They should display the roomsize in the description of the room.Never experienced a room this size and the price was high.Whenhey say "world's first automated hotel" they mean it. Did not see a single person during my stay because they are there only for a few hours during the day, which makes it inconvenien for arrivals after 6 p.m which is the case for most flights from the mainland. he room codedid notwork and had to call someone which is not what I wanted to do after a long flight. No eating establshments within half a mile.Biggest disappointment was the room size.
