3-Star Hotels in Anchorage

Kathryn is such a wonderful host as I feel like at home. She’s warm n helpful from calling reliable taxis to recommending her favorite eating place…she even prepared a ‘sumptuous’ breakfast for us to catch our early morning train. I’m sure I’ll be back again when I visit Anchorage.

It was stated that there is an airport shuttle bus, so I made a reservation, but there was no airport shuttle. In the end, I called a lift and moved it. Please note. The price included breakfast, but the breakfast was very simple, so I didn't feel much merit. Rather, the advantage is that it is very close to the airport (10 minutes by car) and there are very good Vietnamese restaurants around. It is difficult to recommend as the price-to-quality ratio is low.

The Dimond Center Hotel was a fine hotel.  It was clean, comfy, and has a great location.  The free airport shuttle is also very nice.

Breakfast is normal, the aunt is warm and welcoming; the room is clean and tidy; a few minutes drive from the airport; parking is free, there is a shuttle bus; the bathtub is a bit slow, overall satisfaction

Easy to book and check-in. Room was spacious and reasonably comfortable. Breakfast was OK. Sofa bed was a bit too saggy. Overall, good and will consider again when needing a room in the area.

The room is very good, the sound is generally sound, the breakfast is not too rich, the hotel view is very good, you can see the snowy mountains, I also accidentally saw the Christmas elders flying in the sky on Christmas Eve, very warm, can live

Room is clean, essential items are all available. Blackout curtains are effective. Only a 15 minute walk from the train station. Easy access to both downtown and the shore. Staff is friendly, though there is sometimes a short wait to talk to the staff.

The room is not very clean. Staff and friendly and helpful.

This hotel has seen better days in its multi-decade existence. It has gone through some renovations and name changes, but still seems to be in transition as we walked through the third floor paint fumes (half of the floor was being painted while still having guests on the floor) to our room at the end of an extremely long corridor. It seems understaffed and whatever staff they do have are wearing multiple hats and running around or in training. We encountered a spectrum of personalities from sweet to terse to neutral in their customer service/reception area. Their booking system is also a bit unclear. I got emails for ”pre check-in” and ”set checkout” which seemed fine, but I had selected a cocktail pack at the pre check-in and input my credit card information but was not charged for it. If my CC isn't going to be charged at that point, why should I have to enter my CC information at all? It should be noted that these are ”requests” the front desk can choose to fulfill for the guest or not. They still asked for a CC to be put on file for incidentals too, during in-person check-in, so online ”pre check-in” just seems pointless. We had booked our multi night stay on the Trip app and it did have us prepay but also said there would be a $89 charge at the hotel for four nights. We later learned it was a ~22 bucks ”resort fee” for our stay per night. I guess the resort fee includes the amenities of free water and free shuttle service? Breakfast wasn't included for our booking. The person checking us in even charged a $$$$ deposit amount larger than the cost of our 4 nights there, so I hope they are more careful on other security deposit charges, in the future. On another note, the 24/7 airport shuttle was great and the downtown shuttle service was excellent. Their free shuttle service is definitely a highlight. Kind drivers also -- lovely service from all the drivers we met and always helped us with our bags and directions. Big appreciation for the shuttle vans and drivers! Free water (2 bottles per guest per day) included at the front desk, which you have to make sure to grab yourself, as there was no ”deliver to room” option during our stay. The outdated facilities are somewhat maintained, as we had slow drainage in our shower tub and slow drainage in our toilet that nearly led to a clog. Luckily, the maintenance team was able to remedy that after our first night. We stayed 4 nights in total, but that first night was rough. Going forward, I would recommend this place for someone seeking adventure in a property that is next to a beautiful lake with cool seaplanes and a nice lobby full of taxidermy and doesn't mind the potentially tumultuous reception or dated bathroom.

The location is also close to the airport. There is a free airport transfer and you need to call the hotel yourself. Breakfast is relatively simple, American breakfast, eggs, oats, muffins, milk, juice and yogurt. The facilities are old, but still clean, the room is large, the bed is large, suitable for multiple families, there are Wendy burgers and McDonald's nearby. There is a 65 bus at the door, you can go to the city center, about 15 minutes drive, the fare is 2 knives, if you take a taxi, you have to 18 knives.
