Our organization held a reception in the Penthouse that was attended by more than 50 people. The room has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Port of Anchorage for a wonderful view that was complimented by the decor of the room. The catering menu choices were extensive and featured many Alaskan specialties allowing us to select food that our specific... More

I'm sure that back in the day this hotel was one of the best. Our room was very spacious, but the bed needed replacing badly. There was a great view of Turnagain Arm from our balcony, but the railing was wobbly and my husband didn't feel safe. Had it not been part of the "tour" we purchased, we would have... More

I've now stayed at the Westmark three times and appreciate it as (a) good value for the money and (b) good location. It's not fancy, but it's clean and has all the amenities. There are a couple of good restaurants across the street and most offices you might be doing business with are within walking distance, as is the excellent... More

This is an outdated hotel that still has 1970's look and feel- they likely haven't renovated since the pipeline was built. Carpet isn't shag, but close. Beds are hard, the bedding is cheap and thin, the rooms are tight and crowded, and the furniture upholstery is rough tweedy polyester. No bathrobes in the rooms. The lobby smells and the restaurant... More

I had to be sure and share this great local venue. The Westmark Anchorage consistently delivers an above average guest experience. The restaurant offers a convenient location downtown for meals and business meetings. The real treat is upstairs on the 15th floor - their Penthouse Board Room. We have quarterly meetings there for one of the best views in Anchorage.... More

The staff, the location...the price! Great deal for a downtown hotel. Enjoyed the friendly staff, and the proximity to so much of what we were in town to see. The only issue is parking. If you have your own car, good luck finding a spot in the summertime.

Part of my job requires a monthly in-service meeting for 40-75 people. It's important in the winter time to change locations so our attendees are familiar with various locations around town. We were looking for a space that would meet our size needs without being cavernous, and provided a somewhat intimate setting. When the Westmark agreed to host the in-service,... More

I am a vet who travels to Anchorage for medical treatment. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The ONLY downfall is that the restaurant's food is not good. period. The good side is that there are lots of restaurants across the street and around the area. It's the only place I want to stay in Anchorage.
