Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Our time in Alaska took an unexpected turn when we lost our original lodging, and we were struggling to find a place to stay. We reached out to the Wyndham, and Richard, the General Manager, along with his team, went above and beyond to help us. Richard was able to secure us a room for two nights when it felt nearly impossible to find availability. He also graciously allowed us to check in early on our first day so we didn't have to spend hours walking around Anchorage with all of our belongings. That simple act of kindness meant so much during a stressful situation. Richard and his staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and compassionate throughout our stay. They truly turned a difficult experience into a positive one, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality!"

Alex Hotel & Suites Anchorage Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We used this a a stay over between arriving on the Denali date and flying out of anchorage. On the positive side the hotel is well located near the airport and offers complimentary shuttles between the hotel and airport and railway station. The staff were very pleasant and efficient too. The prices were also competitive compared to other hotels near by. On the negative side the hotel is run down and the rooms are dated not well maintained. The hotel is also in not an area I would go exploring. I would not use the hotel for a holiday destination, but it’s a great place for and overnight stay before catching an early flight. "
