The location is the key factor for this hotel. Being in downtown, one can find tour agencies, gift shops and many restaurants nearby. The hotel does not have a restaurant in house and sends a measly breakfast in a bag- early morning, with a cup of instant oatmeal, a begal and an energy bar- hung on your door handle. You... More

I was in Anchorage on a business trip and chose to stay at The Anchorage Grand on the first night. (I moved to the business hotel for the duration of the business part of my trip.) The first thing I noticed was how helpful the staff was. Georgia checked me in and while talking to her, George came in. They... More

The main entrance puts you in between floors so it is necessary to walk down about 5 steps to reach the front desk and elevator. There could quite possibly be a side entrance at that level for wheelchairs but I didn't notice if it was accessible either. We stayed on the bottom floor at ground level. Our room was very... More

Dear AK_Syringa, Thank you for the nice comments regarding the Anchorage Grand. We hope to have your back as our guest in the future. Just so you know, we do have a handicap ramp for handicap guests just to the left of the main entry. This avoids the 5 steps to the lobby off the main entrance. Also, one side... More

We stayed at the Anchorage Grand Hotel for 3 nights, and were impressed by the space in the rooms, as well as the super-helpful staff. Anchorage was a huge disappointment, and there are very few decent accommodation options in the city itself, but here we stayed cheaply, comfortably and were extremely grateful to the staff for their advice about things...

We stayed here for one night recently. We choose it because it was close to the train station, but were please we picked it. The hotel is not fancy, but our room was very big. We got the “accessible” room on the 2nd floor and it was quite large with several windows looking over the street. There were multiple closets... More

We stayed in a room that was a corner room that would qualify as an apartment. Fridge, stove, dishwasher & dishes were provided, along with the most comfortable couch pull out I've ever encountered. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable too, and had a light down comforter. The bathroom was quite small, but there was great closet space throughout... More

Plenty of room to spread out. Well appointed and within walking distance of plenty of restaurants and the main shopping area. Didn't notice any undue noise from the railway. We were taking the train to Seward the next morning so the Grand was perfectly located, we walked to station with our luggage -its downhill :)

The full apartment is spacious with everything you need. Some rooms have mountain views. Bedroom has excellent blackout drapes so you can sleep whenever. Normally I wouldn't recommend a hotel where you could hear train whistles but they really didn't bother me. With the windows closed in the bedroom it was not loud. Did not wake me.

There was a break down in communication which resulted in a major billing mistake. Without hesitation the hotel manager, Pearl took swift action and completely resolved the matter. I am most appreciative of the incredable customer care Pearl demonstrated. Certainly actions that encourage continued business with the Anchorage Grand Hotel. Thank You.

The management could save a whole lot of money for this hotel, by turning down the heating....it is so darn hot we had to open the windows, and then we were awake most of the night because of the trains shunting and tooting and the rail crossing bells going....Therefore we cannot recommend it to fellow travellers.

We truly regret the bad night’s stay that you describe in your post to Trip Advisor. We would like to point out that we have thermostats for adjusting the heat in every room. We have not had any other complaints from guests who have stayed in the room you occupied, but we take these complaints seriously, so will double check... More
