My friends and I were in Anchorage for a convention. I wished I would have read the reviews of the hotel before we made our reservations. I have stayed at other Howard Johnson hotels and they have all been nice places. The rooms were outdated and dirty. The carpet was torn and mold in areas around the tub. The coverings... more

I did an over night at the hotel and it was right down town and was walking distance to a weekend fair and some good resturants more

I've stayed in this hotel in 2 ocasions on the end of August.09. In both ocasions, we felt that it is a fair hotel, although a bit expensive. The rooms are clean, and have everything needed to spend a confortable evening after a day's activity in Alaska. Reception staff could be nicer. more

This hotel was chosen to stay within a budget and it worked for my purposes. There were some seedy people outside the hotel, but I never felt threatened. The downtown location is this hotel's saving grace. The room was clean, dated decor, beds were comfortable enough. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. Restaurant service slow, breakfast was delicious, especially... more

As for anything more than that, I can't really say much. The room itself was clean, but, the $179 I paid for the room was about $110 too much. At best, even for Alaska prices, this place isn't much more than a $60 a night flop joint. Old leaky hallways, tired decor, and old ratty things made us feel like... more

We stayed at this hotel one night after arriving in Anchorage late. The hotel itself is dated and worn. It took 10 minutes for the hot water to work in the room. The front counter staff was friendly and courteous. The major problem we had was the various disturbances throughout the night. There was a group of people fighting in... more

Unlike reputation of this hotel, our stay was not comfortable. The room is rather old and needs renovated. Staffs were not friendly at all and not customer-oriented. It is sad to say but I would not stay this hotel in the future. more

We wanted to find a hotel with an indoor pool, since it was supposed to rain that day. This was the cheapest and was right in the middle of downtown. Since we were coming from the other side of the city, we couldn't find it since there was no sign. Then, they did let us check in earlier than usual,... more

Lodging in Anchorage is very expensive in the summer. Some choices that may sound good for the money are not necessarily so. You have to be careful and do your homework. The online single rate for this hotel was $189. I booked throught Talkeetna Travel and got it for $139. Stayed there the first and final nights of my trip... more
