Reviews and Ratings
I was pleased with my stay overall. The rooms were extremely spacious and clean, making it convenient for us with two small children going to bed earlier. It definitely met our standards and offered good value for the money. The nice and large room was a plus.
The hotel rooms felt more like a small apartment than a budget hotel room, equipped with standard amenities such as a microwave, small refrigerator, and two televisions. However, the presence of noisy children and crowded spaces created a less than ideal environment.
The hotel is like a small apartment with a nice ante room and separate TV, but it wasn't made up on the 2nd day. The service is exceptional, going above and beyond to assist in emergencies. The location is perfect for exploring Anchorage, although there is some noise from the high volume. The dining is okay with a decent breakfast spread. The price is reasonable, offering good value for money.
My stay at the Clarion Suites Downtown was fantastic. The rooms were more like apartments, with a separate living area, kitchenette, and spacious bedroom, which I found lovely. However, a few free weights would have been a nice addition to make it even better. The service was a mix of experiences; while I wasn't informed about the lack of hot water for two days, the staff immediately assisted us during a medical emergency, going above and beyond to ensure our well-being. The location was great for exploring Anchorage and ideal for both sightseeing and business, despite some minor inconveniences like closures. As for the dining options, they were decent, but a bit ordinary tasting. The facilities were satisfactory, though nothing extraordinary.
The hotel has a quirky charm with rooms overlooking the park, but the extreme cold was a bit uncomfortable. The service was outstanding, especially the kitchen manager who went above and beyond to help guests explore Anchorage. The location is superb, close to major attractions, and just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The dining options were varied and delicious, though some items were occasionally missing.
The hotel offers a convenient location for exploring downtown with positive aspects like clean and comfortable rooms. However, some areas need improvement such as the dining options.
The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and shopping areas, and the rooms are spacious and cozy with separate sitting areas. The service provided by the staff, especially the kitchen manager, was friendly and helpful. Although the dining options were limited and the shuttle service timing was inconvenient, the overall experience was positive.
