This was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had (and I travel >100k miles per year). Terri and her staff were fantastic. They had terrific advice for getting out and about, they helped me to ship stuff back home, and every staff member knew my name right from the first day. Terri even extended breakfast hours for a...

We stayed here for one night in June at the conclusion of a three-week journey through BC and AK. Both the City of Anchorage and the Historic Anchorage Hotel were unexpected pleasures. We had no expectations for Anchorage and assumed it would be simply a way-station prior to our return flight. Instead, we spent a thoroughly enjoyable 24 hours in... More

I travel to Anchorage often and over the the last 30 years have stayed in most of Anchorages hotels. The Historic Anchorage Hotel is where I stay on almost every trip now. Terri, Jessica and the rest of the staff are amazing! Just spent 8 grueling days in Anchorage working, it was nice to be able to come 'home' every... More

Obviously not a modern hotel - but well above expectations of a hotel with the word 'historic' in its name. Clean, comfortable room - great complimentary breakfast. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Must thank Jessica on the front desk when we arrived for her wonderful friendly and helpful attitude - a real credit to the hotel! More

This was our first hotel after 12 hours of travel - we were dog tired and just wanted to sleep. However this room overlooks the junction of a busy road and an even busier bar opposite. We were kept awake into the wee small hours by raucous revelry seemingly right outside our window with swearing, singing and a police bust... More

We stayed here the night after a cruise and my parents stayed two nights. It was in a great central location, easy to get to from where we picked up our luggage by walking. The staff were very helpful at check in and in recommending places to eat. We were upgraded to a suite which was nice and large, though... More

We stayed here two nights following a cruise. We chose the hotel based on location and it was a resonable price. We also liked the idea that is was older and a part of Anchorage History. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable of the area and local things to do. The rooms were dated but clean and the... More

We spent 3 nights at the Historic Anchorage Hotel. We had a mini-suite and enjoyed the restoration of the hotel. The bathroom was small, but everything was immaculate. The front desk people provided maps, restaurant recommendations, directions, and answered all questions. Parking is available at a city lot for $10 for 24 hours....very reasonable and a very short walk away.... More

This hotel is very old and dingy and I thought the bathroom was gross. The only thing good about this hotel was the location...we could walk to the nearby restaurants and shops. I would definitely not stay here again. We stayed here on our 1st night during our AK trip...this did not leave a good impression of Anchorage, thankfully it... More

It was a very nice room & good service. A small room refrig. would have been nice for the massive restaurant leftovers:) Nice to have real cups & glasses in room. Walking distance to downtown attractions a plus. More
