The accommodations and service at the Copper Whale are outstanding. The hosts are always helpful and every detail is attended to. You get a healthy and generous breakfast, and the location close to the coastal trail is ideal.

I travel to Anchorage several times a year from Southeast Alaska for work. I just returned from spending 6 nights at the Copper Whale. I loved it! The room was impeccably clean, the staff were great, the location is perfect (a short walk to the bustle of the central downtown area) and the feel was just so comfortable and welcoming.... More

This place is great - breakfast options are diverse and healthy. It's close to everything downtown, so you can walk. I love that, if there is ever the tiniest problem - like, my pillow seemed a little flat - it's fixed in a jiffy. The guys that run this place are ON IT! They know customer service - which is...

We stayed 1 night at the Copper Whale following our flight into Anchorage. The inn keeper was very nice and knowledgeable about the surrounding area, giving us ideas for what to do for the afternoon. The breakfast was good -- mostly pastries, fruit, & coffee/juice. The room was small but adequate. We shared a hall bath, but never saw anyone... More

Stayed in May 2012 with another couple. Very friendly and loved the breakfast room where we could mingle with other guests, Great room with a comfortable bed which was fantastic after a 36 hour trek from Australia. Nice view from our room over the water, restaurant and bar next door and walking distance of downtown Anchorage. Good place for couples... More

If you are there for a business trip, i don't recommend this. 3 mornings had a cold shower. Owners weren't willing to give much of a... More

I stayed here for three nights in mid-May 2012 when I visited Anchorage on business. I loved the peaceful nature of the Copper Whale's rooms, common areas, and gardens - I felt like I was home during the entire visit. My business took place downtown and so I was walking distance (3 blocks) from work during the entire visit which... More

Stayed here one night on business travel in July. The stay in this B&B was very pleasent.The B&B offers quite homy feeling even though it is located in downtown between multi-storey buildings.However the price seemed quite high but then again this is in Anchorage. The tourists street is just within short walk from the B&B. The room I got was... More

I'll start by agreeing with most of the positives I'm reading in the other reviews - the view of the inlet is amazing, the staff is super nice/friendly, it's really close to a lot of great stuff, and it definitely has a different vibe than a typical hotel. All good, right? Well, yeah, except trying to fit 4 of us... More
