I was impressed with my recent stay at this Best Western. Even with its location right on the New Seward Highway as it enters midtown, the traffic noise really was not an issue. The rooms were very nice and beds and pillows were quite comfortable. SO few hotels pay attention to the comfort of the pillows but they had nice... more

I'm sorry, I can't stay at a hotel with a dead lion displayed in the lobby. Do people eat lion meat, I don't think so! So if no one ate the meat (like you could from an elk or bear), I guess the animal has been wasted! What a shame! I'd prefer to stay someplace else! more

"This place is a dump" that's what my husband and I kept saying to eachother throughout our stay. Luckily the stay was only one night. We chose this hotel because it is close to the hospital, where we had to take our infant son. We didn't get any sleep because the noise outside in the halls was so loud. The... more

We spent two nights prior to going south on a cruise. Our room was very clean and the king size was comfortable. The thing that set this hotel above others we have stayed at was the friendly accomodating front desk staff, especially Hal. He convinced us to rent a car, found a really good rate for us, laid out an... more

I'm a bad cook but WOW, my cooking tastes better. My Itouch... more

Nice hotel. A bit on the older side. Within walking distance of a few places to eat. Room was very clean which is a big thing with me and hotel rooms. The cleaning staff was great. Front desk folks are ok. more

People who come to Alaska expecting anything but real people with real virtue will be disappointed. I've stayed here every time I stayed in Anchorage and although its not a hoity toity resort sort of place, the same people have been working here for 30 years and dont mess around with customers with bad attitudes who feel superior. Likewise, if... more
