The bed was comfortable, and the overall room space was reasonable. The bathroom was far too small, especially for a king suite room. The toilet is only a couple of inches from the wall, so we had to sit sideways on it to use it. Also, it's a tiny toilet, which didn't help. We didn't feel like the price provided a good value, but maybe that's just the normal price in Anchorage. The breakfast was a very small buffet style that was about what you'd expect at a much lower cost Best Western (not Plus).

Our biggest issue was at checkout. When we checked in, we arranged a late checkout of noon from the normal 11:00 time. The morning of checkout, we packed our bags, put them in the closet , left the \"do not disturb\" sign on the door and went off to a restaurant for breakfast. On our walk back at around 11:15, I received a call from the front desk saying that we had left items in the room (like all our luggage) and why hadn't we checked out. I informed him that we had a late checkout arranged, and he said he would let housekeeping know. When we got back to our room, housecleaning was inside and already cleaning, which really annoyed me. I told the lady with the clipboard that we had a late checkout arranged, and after checking the clipboard, she confirmed that it was noted and they missed it. You'd think once they saw our luggage in the room that a) they would check to see if we had a legitimate reason for not checking out by 11:00, and b) they would leave the room.

I’ll start with the positive. The room was clean and the staff was nice.

Now for the negative
No air-conditioning in the rooms although there obviously used to be, there is ductwork for the air-conditioning and where a return vent used to be a sheet of plywood covering the hole. There is an amazing bar, but they don’t use it as a bar. They use it for storage. To call the breakfast mediocre would be an insult to mediocre, preformed eggs, cold oatmeal and Limited selection. I booked a suite for a family of four when I walked in the room and had to be at least 80° in there. I don’t think they opened the windows until just before we arrived. The mini fridge had not been plugged in. I had to pull it out and plug it in myself, and because it sits in the room, not plugged in there was visible mildew inside the refrigerator.. I also don’t think that the bathroom ventilation is working properly. It stayed hot and humid for hours after taking a shower.

Beautiful, historic hotel in Anchorage. Great location, close to many fun places in Anchorage.

Lots of good restaurants within walking distance. There are some unhoused people in the area, something to keep in mind.

Less than 10 minute walk, all downhill, to the Alaska railroad. Thankfully we had nice, sunny weather so it was an easy walk.

The room and the hotel was great. It was like staying in a hotel in the 1800s but with modern comforts. Shops and restaurants within walking distance was nice. There were some homeless in the area and one of them was getting aggressive with us. Thankfully there were cops walking around and they came to our aid. So thankful for that.

Really fantastic location that is walkable to everything you need and very affordable. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is no airport shuttle but it only takes about 15 minutes to get there via ride share. Buffet breakfast was a great way to start the day with a ton of variety and options. Rooms were very warm in the winter and often needed the circular fan that was included.

Very disappointed in the condition of the hotel. No air conditioning, and our room was on the outside corner which had direct sunlight during the day. The heater was needed at night, but the radiators dis not work. The sheetrock was poorly finished with large seams on the ceiling that looked terrible. The carpet was not well cleaned, and dust had built up on edges around the room. Electrical outlets on the walls were old and did not hold phone chargers. Do not recommend.

She gave us a queen bed even though there were Kings available.

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

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 .

The staff was wonderful and the room was great. However, the location was quite noisy and there was no possibility of lessening the noise.

Great staff, but hard to get a good night's sleep.

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.

Situated in historic downtown, walkable to shops and restaurants.

Suggest \"F Street station\" restaurant for an excellent fish meal in a pub style atmosphere.

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.

The hotel was clean and comfortable but the staff was outstanding. The lady at the desk helped us in from the sidewalk. Explained everything, gave us a map with suggestions where to go and what to eat. We took all her advice and suggestions and it was delicious. The next day they allowed our luggage to stay at the hotel while we had a morning excursion. The staff is what set this hotel apart,

Average hotel in good location

Lots of history, great location, but pretty underwhelming and average. We had booked a room with a king bed a year in advance only to be given a room with a queen bed when we arrived and no other rooms were available. The hotel was clean, rooms are small, breakfast is average.

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.

Alaska trip 2023!

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!

Although, in its way, charming, it’s somewhat dank, with a slight odor in the room. The breakfast was only fair and would’ve been nice if the breakfast room was still a bar.
It’s quite expensive for what you get. But the historical background and location in Anchorage is a definite positive.

The history of this building was interesting and the staff was great, but I felt it was really overpriced for what it was. But maybe that’s just Anchorage at the end of August. It was in a good location for walking to restaurants.

Great location

Great location but noisy particularly at night, had to close the windows, no a/c, fan very effective.
Very helpful reception staff.
Unique old building with character.
Good size twin mini suite but very small bathroom with nowhere to put wash bag or hand towels.

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.
