Westmark Anchorage Hotel

Great location. Fanastic deal--a Booking.com Junior Suite promo for 30% of the price of staying at the Captain Cook or the Hilton! The room was clean, comfortable and spacious but doesn't have a microwave or minifridge. We didn't even try the minimalist breakfast because of the poor reviews. The Pantry at the Captain Cook, less that 3 blocks away, has a great choice of breakfasts, not cheap but well worth the price, we thought. The Westmark is gave us the best bang for the buck, by far. Reserving the Junior Suite on booking.com was notably cheaper than booking on the hotel's website.

Location was amazing

As a diabetic I would have preferred a diabetic inclusive breakfast menu such as high fibre cereal, whole grain bread for toast and coffee with refills.

Great location. Room was a nice size and clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable. No need for a car, because you can walk all over downtown from this hotel. Front desk was extremely busy, but all staff was friendly. We were an hour early for check in, and they were unable to let us check in, but we went across the street to the Alaska Escape Room, spent a fun hour there, and then checked in without a problem. We asked for a late check out, but they had a cruise coming in and were only able to give us 30 minutes. They did keep our luggage for us for another few hours, so it was great. Room 1003 had a perfect view of Denali, since it was such a clear day.

The Westmark is very well located in downtown Anchorage, and most of the downtown area is easily walkable from the property. Service was excellent, Jannelle at the front desk was able to get us checked in early after our flight arrived super early and was a comforting presence throughout our stay. I wish every hotel I stayed at had someone like Jannelle at the front desk -- but everyone on the staff we encountered was helpful. Also, value for money is extremely good. Parking was convenient.
