We chose the Carlion because it was close to the work we'd be doing during our extended stay. The hotel was clean. It was also showing signs of wear and age, but overall a traditional downtown hotel. There were unfortunate issues that pertain to the Clarion being a traditional downtown hotel. We stayed during the month when Alaskans receive their... more

The Clarion was great. We liked the breakfast buffet, which started serving at 5:30! the pool was nice. The desk staff very helpful. Suite was huge! Easy walk to shopping and restaurants. We stayed here before and after our trip to Denali. Overall very satisfying! more

We chose this for our 3 nights in Anchorage based on a combination of features, location, and price. Our two-adult/one-child party had a good experience. A good start was being able to check in 1.5 hours early and being given a choice of floor-- we chose top floor. Clarion's locale allowed us to walk everywhere downtown and easily access places... more

After reading some negative reviews, I wondered if i had made the right choice to stay at the Clarion! We were pleasantly surprised that everything and everyone was so nice! I can't understand the poor comments. Our suite was very nice, clean and comfortable. The shuttle drivers and front desk staff were very accomodating and responded quickly and always with... more

Stayed at the end of a northbound cruise. This is tourist season and rooms are not easy to find. The stay was for two days on the first floor. It was the room from hell. It was filthy. Dust everywhere. Black ring in the toilet. Missing furniture. Front desk not very cooperative - had an attitude - but they cleaned... more

Stayed there in mid June 2008 for one night. Everything was new and excellent. All suite hotel so you have a bedroom and a sitting area. Good hot buffet breakfast. Conveniently located. Friendly staff. All tour companies and cruise ship buses pickup from this hotel. Also, tours can be booked at the hotel. Parking is just enough for all guests... more

We came off a cruise and stayed in Anchorage for 2 nts afterward. We were traveling with our parents and our children. The staff was wonderful and friendly. They went out of their way to help up get into the rooms early so our parents could rest after a very early wake up and travel from Whittier. The suites large,... more

My family and I live in Seward, AK and usually at least once a month do a weekend trip to Anchorage. We usually stay at the Comfort Inn on Ship Creek (love it) but upon this visit they were all booked up so to continue using our choice hotels reward points decided to pay a little extra and stay at... more

I stay in Anchorage for business approx once per month so I know most of the hotels. Clarion and Hawthorn are sister hotels. I enjoy everything about the hotels (nice rooms and location) but will not stay there due to ventilation issues. The temps inside the rooms are not easily adjusted. The last two times I stayed at the Clarion... more
