Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek

2/10 Terrible

"Front staff was the rudest I have ever encountered. There we no clean towels and when we asked about a rollaway we were told we couldn’t have one after it was already confirmed."

Ramada by Wyndham Anchorage

4/10 Poor

"The staff was great. Couldn't be nicer. We arrived at the train station and the transfer van was there within 10 minutes and the lady driver was very helpful with restaurant suggestions. The room was very disappointing. Faint smell of cigarette smoke, old loud air conditioner and only one bath towel. For the price they charged, it should have been a lot better."

The Wildbirch Hotel - JDV by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"We really liked this hotel and the staff was very helpful. The only issue was there were some maintenance issues with the bathroom sink. Also, the road was noisy, but they provided ear plugs. The hotel is walking distance to the train station but there is drug use and homelessness evident in the area."

Americas Best Value Inn & Suites Anchorage Airport

2/10 Terrible

"I liked that it was convenient to the airport and the train depot. The shuttle service was great and on time. But was not clean, so much dust on heater that I am sure no air would be able to come out. Sheets looked like they had been slept on. Very out dated and dirty."

The Lakefront Anchorage

6/10 Okay

"The building needs a renovation, carpet in the hallways are worn out. The room was clean but paint on walks is old and some baseboards we’re missing. The bathroom is dated. We were not able to get a call through to the front desk when we called from the airport for a shuttle. The front desk was extremely busy at check in 8:30 at night. It took us 30 minutes to check in and they weren’t willing to give us any credit for the wait or the lack of shuttle service. They charge a $25 “resort fee” but definitely not a resort. For the price they charge I would not recommend this hotel."
