Anchorage Hotels with Swimming Pools

The most iconic hotel in Anchorage, I had to stay even if I could only afford one night. Everything was good, the room was a bit small. Definitely paying big city prices for little old Alaska, which can feel like price gouging.

As I reflect on my 3 week trip around Alaska I can't help but realize this was the worst of my experiences, and I stayed at a super 8. The room was musty and in dire need of a DEEP clean. the mattress was indented and old. I left this property with a rash on my neck and face. I brought this to their attention and was simply told ”sorry” and also that there were no bed bugs found in my room. I beg to differ, it took me over a week to recover. This was just the beginning unfortunately. The staff is obviously not happy and not treated well. The overall energy is very stiff and uptight. Restaurants were closed and understaffed, no bartender during the day to make drinks. I went off property for dinner and found great food elsewhere. Overall, its outdated and not worth the price of the room or food. I will say that the spa is so amazing and worth going to and worth the price. Go there and stay someone else in town!

I usually have a peaceful, enjoyable stay when I stay here, but this time is wasn’t so peaceful. There was a kids birthday party or something going on where there were a lot of rambunctious kids running up and down the hallway, making all this noise during my stay. Not enjoyable at all.

Love that the Room smell great the bed was great I like the key card for the electricity that is a really cool new thing I'm an executive head housekeeper here in Anchorage your hotel was wonderful I will be staying with you again

I am a Diamond Member with Hilton Honors and try to stay at Hiltons for all my travels. I am surprised this hotel carries the Hilton name. It is NOT on brand. 1. I called the hotel 3 times. First two times I was on hold for over 7mins each time, finally the 3rd time they said, ”Can I place you on hold” I said ”No, I can not hold”. I talked to Patrick and I indicated from reviews that I would like to have an odd room number because of the train and I needed a refrigerator. He said he would make a note of it. When I arrived at 2:15am, no note, no nothing. Very dissappoined. 2. There was no refrigerator and I was put on a waitlist. Two days and nothing. 3. Room was dirty. Housekeeping left blue gloves and wipes on the floor. I was thankful that I carry my own Lysol wipes and cleaned entire room. (I had to change rooms and both were this way) 4. I had an ”even” number room so I heard the train all hours of day and night. Even though I had ear plugs, you still hear the train. 5. Outlet in bathroom did not work. Had to blow dry hair next to bed. 6. At 4:30am, I had to ask housekeeping or Hilton employees to please be quiet because people are trying to sleep. This hotel is awful. Needs attention. Also, no acknowledgment from front desk regarding my Diamond Status. A simple ”Thank you” goes a long way.

It is always a roll of the dice when booking a place in a place we have never been to. This Hampton exceeded my expectations - super friendly and helpful staff, better than usual Hampton breakfast and close to airport. Tofi at the front desk was especially nice. The best surprise was the on call free shuttle into town. We had to wait a bit for the return, but nice touch. I recommend this place if you are visiting Anchorage.

From the moment I checked in with the welcoming young women greeting me at the front lobby desk to the last wave goodbye I received as I left to hop into the taxi called for me, I was impressed by both the warmth and professional demeanor of the staff at the Marriott Downtown Hotel in Anchorage. Shreya was particularly helpful in overseeing details such as calling the taxi, and she even connected me with the salon she uses for a last minute hair appointment when the salon I had an appointment with cancelled when the stylist called in sick. They were all great ambassadors who were ready with maps and directions to help me accomplish my to-do list. I enjoyed going to the cozy Great Room for several relaxed meals (delicious soups) after a long day of appointments and enjoyed the Cafe for breakfast - good food and friendly, polite staff. I knew this was hotel-home when I spotted my favorite Haagen-dazs coffee ice cream in the little lobby store freezer, and cocoa in the lobby after a chilly walk. It was the fresh, natural design of my room, though, that quickly won me over! The beautiful shades of blue, gray, and neutrals felt like the natural world brought inside. I love the designer’s vision and choices. The very comfortable bed with perfectly stuffed pillows to sink into, the upholstered lovely chaise well placed under the window with ocean view and twinkling night lights, and a clean minimalist bathroom with a beautiful glass shower, fresh-smelling products, and soft, yet bright enough, flattering lighting so you can see what you’re doing. I loved my room so much and plan to make this my hotel-home when I am in Anchorage. Jacalyn

We liked how the room was clean and the pool smelled like chlorine and was clean unlike other hotels we stayed at. But the front desk clerk was very rude. I tried to check in a couple mins early and she only said I don’t see your name anywhere and pretty much only left me an option to leave and come back later. So instead of being friendly she was opposite and made me feel not wanted there. But we stayed anyway. And the breakfast really sucked! COVID made them feel like they can treat people however they want.

Perfectly fine location and hotel, with pleasant rooms and attentive staff. Breakfast is better than many competitors and the hotel furnishings and vibe are upscale. Not quite as nice in my experience as the Hyatt House just down the block. If they were equally priced, I would choose the Hyatt House for its bigger rooms, better layout and smaller property. There is a very nice restaurant across the street (Bear Paw), as well as a Starbucks. The airport is 10 minutes away, as is downtown. Rooms are good, just not very big. All needed amenities are present, including a shuttle.

We rented a 2-room suite for family travel as our landing spot each day after our adventures. The master bedroom does not have its own private bathroom. The 2nd bedroom with 2 Queen beds has its own bathroom. The HVAC system in our particular room only had 1 temperature sensor for the entire suite which was located in the 2nd bedroom. This was an issue with comfort at times. The walls and floors are extremely thin as we could hear other guest room conversations from adjacent rooms and rooms above ours as well as toilet usage and even curtains being opened in the morning. There was extremely loud shouting from the street as two homeless gents were fighting with each other for hours in the middle of the night - that was not a one-time occurrence. There is also significant noise due to road traffic from both Benson Blvd and Seward Highway - that didn't bother us too much but it may bother people that are not used to it. There was significant parking and the location is extremely close to Seward Highway which made our travels very convenient. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel was reasonably clean. The hotel had a very nice breakfast with standard buffet items like eggs, bacon, bagels, biscuits and gravy, cereals, and a pancake station. They also include made-to-order items like omelets. Overall our stay was very pleasant.
