Historic Anchorage Hotel

Location to trolley bus great and the train station Friendly and very helpful staff Nice bed linen and towels

We arrived and found our hotel early in day, while it was not check in time, the hotel staff were friendly and inviting and secured our suitcases. After lunch, we arrived back at the hotel to discover our suitcases delivered to our room. This is an old hotel with lots of charm. While the bathroom is functional, there is limited counter space. The shower, water temperature, hotness and pressure are above average. The bed takes up most of the hotel room and is unbelievably very comfortable, with lots of nice soft pillows. Many of the outlets are located on the floor with electrical strips, and on the light switches. This place does not have A/C, but our room had windows to open and take in the fresh Alaskan air, and a nice fan to provide an extra breeze. This room comes with a full breakfast meal each morning. This is the first hotel that had a self serve pancake machine (way cool). The breakfast area is in the former bar, and seats comfortable the guests in the hotel. The breakfast menu is varied, with plenty of options for each guests. As mentioned, all of the staff here has been helpful, friendly and willing to spend time and answer our questions. This is a rather small hotel - 26 rooms, but has an awesome gift shopt as well as a fitness room on the second floor. The hotel does have an elevator, but as residence on the second floor we used the stairs. The stairwell is wide, with nice carpeting on the steps, and lots of pictures to look at. The location is a quick walk to many sites and attractions in downtown Anchorage. I would highly recommend this hotel for those traveling that like staying in historic and hotel places as this place has great staff, a very comfortable bed, nice shower and good breakfast meal to start your traveler day.

great location, clean room, v kind helpful stuff, walking to downtown easily, recommended

Staff extremely rude and has no idea how to treat customers

Beware of Nooo AC and room 809 is haunted!!!! We kept on hearing either little feet running back and forth or bigger steps at 1am and then again at 5am. Check in was horrible with Maribeth. She gave us a queen bed even though there were Kings available. Our friends, 2 couples, checked in after us and she accused them of using Expedia even though they had Hotels.com printout with King bed on it. Other than Maribeth’s attitude, all other staff was lovely. Beware

Staff were amazing.

Street racing outside at night was continuous and loud.

We stayed here 2 times on our last vacation, when flying into and out of Anchorage during our weeklong Alaska visit. The location and staff were great. Breakfast was also good, although the pancake machine was down during our second stay. The hotel is very old, historic, has a slight “old odor” on the higher levels. The rooms are a bit small for 2 double bed rooms by modern standards, although that is what the hotel is known for. The staff was friendly to loan us bear spray for our visit, free of charge! Parking costs $20 per night extra

Quaint historic stay with an actual key for our room. Ok breakfast, but enough to start our day. The waffle maker was out of order. The shower curtain was musty and some wall stains. Pricey for just a place to sleep, but this area is high everywhere. I like the history.

Conveniently located in downtown, very close to train station and lots of restaurants and touristy places. Hotel is well decorated but old - no AC/heating (temperature control) in room (had a standing fan). One woman in front desk was friendly and helpful while the other woman was snappy and rude.

Charming, immaculate comfortable, great location, helpful, friendly staff!
