Westmark Anchorage Hotel

The location of this hotel was great - right smack dab in the middle of downtown. This hotel could definitely use some updating and renovation but it didn't take away from our stay. The A/C of our room worked great, the 2 queen beds were comfy as can be, and we all loved the fluffy pillows. It had a refrigerator and TV and hairdryer, and plenty of towels - all things we needed on our stay. The front staff was so kind and accommodating. I wouldn't mind staying here again for sure.

I had enough room to walk around room after my knee surgery. The bed was comfortable. The continental breakfast was better than average with fresh fruit and bakery pastries. Good coffee.

Close to Hotel Captain Cook, where we went next day to join a tour. Room OK; needed a bath mat in the bathroom; although advertised to use; not present . No soap in wall dispenser for shower. Bed comfortable.

Our accommodations were good, and the location was excellent. The desk staff were very accommodating. We left the next day for a hotel next to the airport as we were going to have an early flight. We got a taxi,and we’re ready to leave the Westmark Hotel ,and told the driver where we were going, and he said that hotel had burned to the ground the night before. We then went back in to get another night at the Westmark and The desk staff Valorie was extremely helpful, and asked the manager if we could get a room, and he said absolutely no. I thought that was a little strange because the usual policy is to hold at least one room back for emergencies. We then tried 7 other hotels, and they were all full. Our only option was to sleep on a park bench with the Native Americans who were homeless, and either drunk, or drugged up. My wife is 71, and I’m 77. Needless to say my wife was freaking out. If I were by myself I would have been fine being a 2 tour veteran of 🇻🇳 Vietnam I can still hold my own. After several hours walking up, and down the streets with our luggage we found a Bed & Breakfast that had 1 room left. If we hadn’t found a room we were ready to call the police, and see if they had any ideas. Bottom line it was a scary , and stressful situation especially for my wife. Hopefully you will make some positive policy changes so no guests have to endure what my wife, and I went through. Sincerely, Richard W Cartmill.

The bed was comfortable and the staff was friendly.
