We spent a terrible night at this hotel and positively fled in the early morning to never come back. The reason for this was mostly the heat. When we entered our room the windows were open and we noticed after closing them that central heating was on (temperatures outside were something like 16C, 60F). When leaving the hotel to have dinner we asked the only person attendant (who was barely able to speak English) to do something about the heating. When we came back, the only thing that had happened was that he had opened the front and back doors plus all the windows in the corridors but the heating was still running high. There was a lot of noise from other rooms (you could hear people snoring even from faraway rooms) and from seagulls outside so when we still couldn't sleep at 2am we closed the windows (which didn't shut out much noise) only to wake up again at 4am to sweltering heat. Please note that this hotel calls itself a "green boutique hotel". I'm finding it outrageous that they would call themselves "green" when they a) have an ancient central heating system, b) permit it to run when not needed, c) open all windows instead of switching it of! What has that to do with being "green"?!? The only green thing I could find was the towel policy that you have almost everywhere and which is so basic that in my opinion it doesn't give them the right to advertise themselves as green. Also, their soaps were packed in biodegradable paper which still isn't good enough for me to justify the "green" label. As for the "boutique" part: they have put some effort into beautiful wall paintings and classy photographs. Also, bed covers are new, stylish and high quality. Still, it doesn't disguise that the building is a rickety shed. This is also very noticeable in the bathrooms. Some praise towards the mattresses which I liked and were also new (or felt new at least). On the other hand, the bedposts are somehow dangerous: I hurt myself by accidentally bumping into them several times and once even tore of a big chunk of toenail (which is saying something as this has never ever happened to me in my entire life and I definitely did not provoke it by having long nails; my nails are always cut very short!). Their complimentary continental breakfast was alright. A good point of the hotel is that it is within walking distance of the center of Anchorage. But I definitely do not recommend staying there!

We are here on our last night in Alaska after a nice two week vacation. This is the most disappointing lodging of our trip. I am surprised at the high ratings I found in Trip Advisor for this hotel. The basic structure of this hotel building is sub-standard for a hotel. The walls and floors are thin. Conversations and footsteps are easily transmitted. The owners seem to be trying hard to bring the hotel up to a class by keeping it freshly painted and adding a nice little floral design painted over the bed. The carpet is fresh and new and the bedding is clean and newish. The flat screen tv is nice and offers full cable, but I still hear the doors closing and footsteps in the next room, which I find bothersome. The bathroom did not receive the same attention as the main room. The stand up shower and sink are below standard quality and the toilet runs slow. The staff is professional and friendly. If you are on a budget and there is no other hotel in this price range with high ratings, I'd go there.

We stayed at the downtown anchorage hotel during tue first part of our honeymoon in 2010. Hotel was great with brilliant staff who couldnt have done more for us. After a mix up with the shuttle the manager made sure they showed how sorry they were by providing us witha voucher towards our evening meal at one of anchorages busy nightspots. Hotel room was good size with a huge bed. Anchorage was a great place we saw wildlife, went for a long bike ride and looked round the weekend market. Shopping was good too with a good size shopping mall and we would also recommend the roadrunners grill for dinner. Overall it was superb!

We stayed at the Anchorage Downtown Hotel for two nights on our trip to Alaska. Everyone who worked there was very friendly, helpful and courteous. The shuttle service to/from airport was terrific. Continental breakfast was good and the hotel and our room were all clean and attractive. Just a short walk to shops and restaurants. Very quiet neighborhood.
