    We were going on Cruise out of Seward and needed to stay close to the Airport to pick up the bus that was taking us to Seward the next day. We decided to stay here since it had good reviews and fit our needs for this trip. Once we arrived we called the hotel and they sent their shuttle to come and get us. 24x7 airport shuttle service. This is not a local shuttle. This will provide pick up and drop off to airport only. Friendly staff overall. This is an older hotel. Needs a little cosmetic work in some areas (carpets cleaned as an example) but overall pretty kept up. Our room had 2 Queen beds(beds were firm but comfortable), had a large fridge (about double size of a Dorm Fridge), 32" TV and microwave. There were also 2 comfortable chairs along with a desk & Chair. They do provide a free breakfast with a good selection of items to choose from. The usual items like scrambled eggs, cereal but there hot cereal is instant out of individual packets. They had pancakes, yogurt, and a variety of breads to select. Today they had Biscuits along with Cinnamon Rolls (that weren't bad actually tasty). I needed that cinnamon roll like a whole in my head but it did pair well with my coffee. Overall impression decent place to stay for a day or two. It was pretty full. They have a small gym. I included a few pictures of our room.

    This was a solid, standard Holiday Inn Express experience. Staff: Meets expectations - Generally welcoming and helpful. Appreciated the small convenience store in the lobby, which sold toiletries that may've been forgotten, snacks and small meals for those staying a while, etc. Basics/amenities: Meets expectations - Bathroom not only had a venting fan, but also a heat lamp! - Room included a larger-sized "mini fridge" which included a freezer - Basic fitness facility was adequate, though the cardio machines (elliptical, recumbent cycling machine, treadmill) seemed like they needed servicing (terrific to find a water bottle filler in the gym!) - Indoor pool - Would've appreciated additional electric plugs by each side of the bed - Overall, good counter space in bathroom - Air conditioning unit worked well - Wi-fi worked well in all areas of the hotel - Ice machine was available

    Our room was clean. The A/C was cold (believe it or not, we needed it). The shower was GREAT. Breakfast was good (although the omelettes were burned one morning). If the front parking lot is full, know that there's more parking in the back. Good place, and we'd happily stay there again.

    No more samples- shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles in shower

    Busy place. Most people are there for a night because they are just arriving in Alaska or they are catching a flight out in the AM. We arrived early, before check in and were able to get into 2 of our 3 rooms. Let's talk airport shuttle. My first call I was told 5-10 minutes. I waited. Finding out their were 2 other ppl waiting for the same shuttle- we called again with the same answer. After 25 minutes I called again and the girl told me she had not spoken to me and it would now be 10-15 mins. The wait was over 35 minutes- and the driver acted like it was no big deal. It was to me because the rest of my group was already at the hotel and waiting on me. This experience is why the stars dropped off. Breakfast starts early and gets busy quickly. I didn't feel like being in the mix of a crowd of people so I passed.

    Good morning Alaska.  We are about to invade you

    Landed late and wanted to get some sleep. Got a room very easily. I slept like a baby. I woke up and went and sat in hot tub. Came back to room and woke up the crew( my wife and Brett) went down and had omletes for breakfast. Checking out here in a second. GREAT experience.

    High Speed?  Really???

    See all

    We spent an entire week here from March 22-28, 2026, and honestly, we can't say enough good things…read moreabout our stay! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were absolutely wonderful--comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding--delicious, fresh, and consistently impressive throughout our stay. And the valet service? Exceptional!! Seamless, efficient, and always delivered with a smile. This has officially become our NEW favorite place to stay when we're in Anchorage. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly, highly recommend! Rooms We had a room on the 16th floor... the views were mindblowing.. the room so comfortable absolute perfection. Nearby activities Centrally located, we were there for medical reasons and just 5 min. from the Drs. offices. Safety We felt perfectly safe the entire time and went for several walks to explore the city. Walkability Convenient to EVERYTHING! Perfect location! Food & drinks We ate at the Crow's Nest, Fletchers and grabbed coffee at the Cubby all were delightful and delicious! Noteworthy details Valet staff was outstanding in every way, always pleasant, remembered our faces, so professional, we didn't have to lift a finger, if we didn't want to. Next time we will make sure to hit the Spa! Hotel highlights Luxury, Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Great value

    I booked this hotel because of the history and the convenience. Upon arrival the front desk was…read morevery friendly and efficient. As I walked through the lobby and in the elevators I was taken aback by how outdated this place was. This was especially apparent in the elevator with the gaudy faux gold hand rails and the smelly outdated carpet. It felt 1980's for sure! The room was average at best. I did have lunch and dinner at their restaurants and was very disappointed except for one (I will drop reviews on those restaurants). I love the history. But it's not enough for me to pay top dollar for an average hotel room. I will not be coming back.

    What a nice place to stay for a few days! We were very impressed with the location around the float…read moreplane lake. All the employees here are super friendly! We had a really long drive on 5/15/2026, and checked in around 6 pm and Eurina L, was pleasant and friendly, and made us feel welcome! While I had booked my room through a third- party company, she found our reservation and was able to change us from a king bed to two double beds. That's great customer service. She even asked us what floor we would like to be on. I think she could see how tired we were from driving, so she gave us a nice room on the1st floor which was very convenient - since we knew we would be coming and going from our truck to our room. She made a great choice.. we were close to our vehicle so we didn't have to walk far to unpack our vehicle. Our room was cozy with a heater and an air conditioner. The beds were comfortable and there was great water pressure for the shower. Thank you to Eurina for making our evening welcoming and enjoyable. A second shout out to Boyd, at breakfast. Boyd was busy giving all the patrons their requests. I only saw him at breakfast and he was working hard but he was still friendly and helpful. He actually cared you could tell, that we got exactly what we needed for breakfast. The fruit was great and the hot meal was tasty. Thank you to both Eurina and Boyd for the hospitality. We appreciate you!!

    2026.01.19 UPDATED 1-star to a 2-star: So after staying…read morethere it got a little better. The woman on the night shift was apologetic for the phone issues (though it's a Millennium issue, as she doesn't have control over getting them fixed). She offered us 2-vouchers for breakfast and waived the resort fee (whatever that is for...this is not a resort even if you squint), so glad to not have to pay that. Hotel: it's a bit worn, hallway carpet is pretty worn; the hallway walls, it's obvious if you know where to look (hint the loose wallpaper bubbles) that there was originally wallpaper that was then painted over w/a high gloss paint to give it a face lift and a bit more life. There was a shuttle...it was just parked at the hotel. I would think they'd watch the incoming flights and try to bet at the airport particularity when they have late check-ins on the books. Oddly the rooms are numbered in the 1000's...for the 1st floor, it was confusing b/c we went into the elevator then realized there were only 3-floors; oh and if you have a room in the 1050-1060's...it'll be a walk...it's a loooong hotel, though there is a 2nd entrance that you can use to shorten the walk from the parking lot. Room: big and spacious, and on a positive note the bed is comfortable (not stiff like many hotels, even upper brands) and the pillows were soft, so we had a decent nights sleep. The bed 'could' use a heavier comforter being in Alaska (cold!), the one they had was move of an early autumn thickness. The rooms is kinda cold so keep the heat on 68-70 b/c there's a window A/C w/ no insulation or even a cover one it, and the only thing between the cold 10deg Alaskan air leaking is is a heavy curtain...fortunately the bed is a good 5' from the window. The sink faucet was very loose, like is this gonna leak loose. There also was a broken reading light on the headboard w/ wires somewhat exposed that could become an electrical hazard. The door had an undercut that allowed the hallway light in like it was a small spotlight b/c it's directly in line of the bed (for the sleeper on the left). Safety-wise that undercut is not good, if there was a fire in the room the smoke would get pulled into that hallway, and if a fire in the hallway then it'd get pulled into the room...not good, the doors should seal. Breakfast buffet: food was fine and fresh (the maple bacon was awesome)...it's a basic offering: scrambled eggs, bacon/sausage, waffles, breakfast potatoes, oatmeal, toast/muffins, juice and coffee is served in 16oz cups so plenty to drink; staff is friendly. 2026.01.11 Well...we booked a couple nights through Chase Travel Portal using points. We chose this as it is very close to the airport, rooms looked good and and a place to eat on-site, *AND* b/c we were coming in with on a red-eye and they state they have a 14hr airport shuttle. Yeaaaaa that's not true...and on top of that when calling to find out how/where to get it you just go to voicemail or the line is busy. So we got a Lyft instead. Son't stay here if you need a shuttle at 1am or need to call them in the wee hours for any reason.
