I had the misfortune of confirming a 4-day room reservation at the Howard Johnson Plaza Anchorage...when I arrived to check in, I was advised that my reservation could not be honored because the hotel was closing the next day (sold and closing for renovation). Since I doubt this all happened the day of my arrival, would have been nice if... More

I stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights in August this year during my visit to Anchorage. The first night I was there, I was awaken around 4 am by bouts of itches all over my body. When I turned out the light, I found at least 8-9 bed bugs on the sheet and pillows, and there was... More

The hotel is alomst in the downtown center. You can walk to the street, Mall, visitor centet and Anchorage Museum. Although the room is a little bit old, but I could not find a hotel w/ better value in Anchorage downtown!

I have never written such a poor review until now. Don't let the Howard Johnson Hotel's website pictures fool you. In 17 years of traveling for business, I had ever only asked to be moved one time, this was that one time. Pros: Close to downtown. Cons: To begin, the service is very poor. They typically have only 1 person... More

One of them just said fill the form out, gave me the key and to take the lift to the second floor. When we walked out the of lift and turned left towards the long, long, long hallway... More

All we wanted was a clean and safe place to spend the night, and unfortunately this was neither. The room was moldy and run down, the carpets were dirty, and the garbage can in the bathroom still had stuff in it from the prior guests. Worse, one of the doors that opened from the corridor onto the street was open,... More

This is the most DISGUSTING place that we have EVER stayed. Room smelled like mold and for a good reason!!!! There was mold in the shower, light fixtures and ALL in the air condioning unit. Bed was like sleeping on the ground !!! We were to stay 5 days and we changed our minds pronto!!! We were there for 5... More

First the good part. The location is ok, downtown location. But the ones who know Anchorage, downtown does not mean too much. Rooms have a quiet reasonable size, but totally worn out. Chairs and carpets in rooms are dirty and filthy. Bedsheets seemed not to be changed after the last guest as there has been some hair on the sheets... More
