This is a block of suites with kitchen facilities on a steep hillside overlooking the docks and rail yard.It is on the edge of downtown and has no traffic noise.The view is most interesting,and the train noise at night is inaudible if you close the bedroom window (you could leave the sitting room window open) and leave the large fan... more

Very Cozy. Central to downtown restaurants, museums, flea markets etc. Kula, was very helpful whn we found a stain on our blanket. She had it taken care of right away. Our suite was on the side closest to the Alaska railroad, so the trail whistle was a bit loud. I traveled with my son and husband and they enjoyed our... more

Among the three places we stayed in Anchorage, we liked this one the best. You can walk to most downtown attractions and restaurants from this conveniently located 31 room hotel. The lobby and the hallway seemed to be small but we were pleasantly surprised when we entered the corner room. It was roomy like an apartment with a full kitchen,... more

What a shame! This is a very nice hotel, well situated in downtown Anchorage. We had a very nice spacious suite, with a very comfortable bed. There is just one big problem - the hotel overlooks the main railway freight yard. The trains are active throughout the night ensuring broken sleep at best due to the constant sound of train... more

I stayed here from 9/27-10/5 (8 nights). My room was 1bd appt type corner room which was located the 4th fl with view. It had full kitchen with full sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, fly pans, pods, plates, silverwares, even oven and dish washer. And they were all clean. Very nice. The noise from train station didn't bother me... more

After spending alot of time researching Anchorage Hotels we picked this one as it rated well with trip advisor at the time and seemed in a good location. In the end we paid 160 Aussie dollars which amazingly was the best rate we could get at the time. The rooms were tired but a generous size. The train noise in... more

I stayed in the Anchorage Grand for an eight-day work/fun trip to Alaska. It's location is top notch. You could not be closer to the center of the action. We didn't even think about driving to dinner the whole week. The hotel looks like it might have been a converted apartement building. It has a very odd, makeshift lobby and... more

If you intend to stay at the Grand, you need to be prepared for the outside noise. On the first night/stay we were on th street-side of the hotel. This time of year you try to sleep with the windows open, however, the windows were only a sidewalk away from the road noise. Also, the train station at the back... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in September 2008. As others have noted, this seems to be a converted apartment. It is a couple of blocks from the Hilton and the downtown area of Anchorage, as well as a short walk along a path that follows the waterfront. The hotel was clean and well maintained.... more
