Historic Anchorage Hotel

What guests think

At Historic Anchorage Hotel, travelers praise the central, walkable location and friendly staff, while the property's vintage charm brings trade-offs such as smaller rooms, no air conditioning, occasional noise, and the patina and quirks of an older building.

Rooms and common areas are generally clean, though a few guests noticed musty odors or minor maintenance issues. The free breakfast is convenient but basic, with mixed feedback and occasional equipment outages. Facilities are limited for a historic hotel: the bar is mostly closed and parking can be paid or inconvenient. Expect a straightforward stay with few modern extras.

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.

Hotel is located in an ideal location for shopping and restaurants, in particular for the train. The hotel it self has no air conditioning in keeping with the tradition of the period of the hotel. Some minor maintenance issues need attending to, tap feel off in the shower, breakfast very basic, but did it’s job!

No air conditioning, alley smelled like a dumpster which in turn made our room smell like a dumpster. Curtains did not darken the room. When we checked in we were told parking was 3 or 4 blocks away and it would cost $20! This is not a safe part of town and not a terrible solution.

Great location. I was fortunate that the property was mostly empty so it was quiet and plenty of seats in breakfast area. Rooms were large and I liked that I could open the window. The breakfast is what you’d expect from a traditional limited service hotel like a Fairfield Inn. With a few less choices. If you’re a picky eater or want real eggs. Plan to eat elsewhere. Staff was super friendly and location is great. Parking is free on the streets after 6pm. So if you’re up and out from 9am to 6 pm. No need to pay.

The staff were lovely. If you are a light sleeper, this is NOT the hotel for you!! It's lovely because it's a historic building, but that's also why it's so noisy. The bar is beautiful, but it's a bummer that its closed. It's only open for breakfast. The breakfast isn't good for people with food intolerances either.

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

Cannot recommend this hotel. Parking is an issue - after paying high prices for an average at best room, parking is not provided, and good luck finding a parking site on the street. Rooms are noisy - creaky floors above our room and could hear music and people talking. The staff are not the friendly Alaskans we encountered elsewhere.

This is a sweet, old hotel. It's not fancy, but very clean and the staff was lovely. Arrival is hard because I'd been traveling a long time and had a lot of luggage. People should be aware there is no valet to help with luggage or car. The woman who checked me in helped with the cart, but the young man the next morning did not help when I checked out. Kind of a pain. Otherwise, it was nice place to stay for a night or maybe two.

It's old and in the National Historic registry so the room was nice but small and had way too much furniture in it. It was difficult to get around in the room due to too much furniture. And despite the fact that the bathroom was nicely updated, it a a low, tiny, round toilet which just won't work for many people.

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

It was that way when we got there. Black out curtains would sure be nice to block out the light when you are trying to sleep. The breakfast was not great .

We were woke up at 1:30am a told we were given the wrong room & had to move. First the clerk downstairs tried to enter our room without calling or knocking. We said after being startled, who is there & they announced office & you need to move. We opened the door & the clerk , another man & his two kids were standing looking at us in our pajamas wanting us to move. So we gathered our belongings & moved . Never got back to sleep that night since it now was after 3am.
