    Sunset over Knik Arm and The Alaska Range. Mt. Susitna to the right.

    Susitna Place B&B is a wonderfully unique, peaceful gem in Anchorage. Hosted by Monica H., with husband, Steve, the atmosphere exudes tranquility and harmony as perfectly as the spectacular views. This gracious, charming couple offer a remarkable breakfast and delightful conversation to start your day on the best of notes. Monica is constantly expanding her knowledge of things to do and places to see as she and Steve explore and exchange information with guests about new adventures. She is a knowledgeable resource. Monica is a genius at décor, adorning walls with art that accentuates magnificent natural features--such as Mt. Susitna ("Sleeping Lady")--seen through the large pane windows; displaying paintings and photographs of Alaskan wildlife in their habitat; and, selecting maps and references to inspire inquisitiveness about the rich culture and heritage of the 49th state. Susitna Place B&B lies in an enviable location between Anchorage's serene coastline and fun downtown attractions. Perched on a quiet bluff overlooking Knik Arm--one of Cook Inlet's two tidal branches that frame Anchorage to the west--Susitna Place is the perfect base camp for accessing the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and its variety of scenic views and wildlife. Downtown Anchorage's shops, restaurants, and other attractions are equally accessible by foot. The Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center, Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, and a half dozen museums are short walks away. From the exceptionally appointed Susitna Suite and awesome views from it and the Denali Suite; to the spectacular vantage point of the upstairs common area & deck; to the cozy Illiamna, St. Elias, and Katmai Rooms with their special features; to the rare and coveted 4-space carport - Susitna Place B&B will not disappoint. --Scott & Trice, Nov 2020 & Feb 2021

    We stayed at Susitna Place on our first trip to Alaska. The trip started with the drama of my forgetting my passport, without which I could not board the cruise ship. A series of semi-adventures ensued, culminating in my passport being sent counter-to-counter on Continental Airlines from Austin to Anchorage, on the day I was to board the ship. The passport would arrive too late for me to catch the cruise company's shuttle from Anchorage to the ship terminal in Whittier, 67 miles away. Susitna Place's owner, Linda Boles, was majorly helpful and resourceful in several aspects, the most significant being arranging for my passage from Anchorage airport to Whittier after I pick up my passport at Continental's counter. This review would have been the same without that incident, however. Susitna Place is a clean, tidy, and beautiful bed-and-breakfast just off Anchorage's downtown. (It's about a 12 minutes walk at a leisurely pace to center of downtown.) The place has 8 rooms, many with private bathroom, some with shared bathrooms. The rooms are comfortably and cozily furnished. The majority of the bathrooms are newly renovated, clean, with modern and well-functioning fixtures, with ample supplies of towels, liquid soap, body wash, etc. The beds are comfortable. There is free WiFi (ping 59 ms, 0.26 Mb/s upload, 0.06 Mb/s download). The place was built as triplex, with 8 rooms, 5 w/ private bath, 3 without, 7 full bathrooms altogether. We shared the one suite with my cousin and her husband. The suite has a livingroom with a sleeper sofa and a bedroom; the bathroom is accessible from either the living or the bedroom. The "breakfast" part of the deal is above average, in my opinion. We enjoyed a reasonable spread of cereals, several kinds of artisan bread and muffins with butter, cream cheese, jams; breakfast pastries; good quality fruits: mango, blueberries, grapes, plums, etc. along with the usual OJ, tea, coffee, etc. The social aspect of mingling with other guests at breakfast was enjoyable, as with any B&B. The breakfast area has floor-to-ceiling windows, with a kick-@ss view of a beautiful Alaskan inlet. We would definitely stay here if we find ourselves in Anchorage again.

    This place is amazing. The location is great and the views are absolutely beautiful. The suite we had was so nice. Very clean and extremely comfortable with every little amenity you could want. The bed was really comfortable and we got a great nights sleep. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and Monica, the owner, was so kind and attentive. We will definitely stay here again if we're back in Anchorage.

    Just another late summer night in Anchorage.

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

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.

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.
