Hilton Anchorage

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 22 Mar 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

First off the parking is a block away. The keys didn't work and when I went down to the lobby to have them fixed,the elevator for some reason went up and then started stopping at the next 8 floors on the way down. The lights for the floors weren't on,so I don't really know why it did that. Then starting around 3:00 am the heater in the room started sounding like a helicopter taking off every time it came on. I drove all the way from Fairbanks 360 miles and really needed a good nights sleep which I didn't get.

Positives: Nice view from the room.

Negatives: The heater in the room was so load it woke me up every hour.

Very nice hotel, but I am surprised that an upscale hotel like this charges for parking. The matresses are very comfortable. Overall, one of my favorite places to stay in Anchorage.

Positives: Great location.

Negatives: Charge for parking.

Room is just large enough for a king size bed, TV and table. There is no free local phone service or any free internet access. The room was directly over 2 bars that carried on all night.

Positives: Down comforter.

Negatives: Street noise.

Really like the Anchorage Hilton but there were several disturbances that resulted in a less than pleasant night's sleep. In my particular room there was a high pitched squeal (from the water pipes?) on and off every couple of minutes which never abated. There was also a thumping which I finally concluded might have been the elevator whenever it ran? Then there were the guests on the floor above me who sounded like a herd of elephants at 1:00 a.m. and finally went down for the night at 2:00 a.m. Certainly made for a memorable night but wouldn't make me excited to stay at the Hilton again.

Positives: Well located for my meeting.

Negatives: Extremely noise room - internal not external noise.

I have stayed at the Hilton Anchorage many times but have not recently because of the cost.

Positives: The willingness of management to offer affordable prices.

Negatives: N/A.

Very pleasant hotel. The older tower was the premier hotel in Anchorage for years, and now the new tower takes it's place. Excellent, efficient staff, and clean, comfortable rooms are the norm.

Positives: Clean, professionally managed hotel. Each stay the same as the last.

Negatives: Not as convenient as it once was. Anchorage center has moved. Not the fault of hotel.

The Hilton Anchorage is a top rate hotel. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are a decent size to accommodate an extra cot. I appreciated not being charged for the cot. The pool was open long hours to accommodate early risers and late night sleepers. The beds were very comfortable.

Positives: The front desk people were very nice. The pool and hot tub hours were very accommodating. Very nice view.

Negatives: The carpeting in our room was a little stained and we would have liked a fridge.

A+. Number 1 in guest service and cleanliness. I had a wonderful stay.

Positives: The room was very clean and the temperature was perfect.

Negatives: The parking was across and down the street.

Stayed here with my family, husband and two kids 17 & 11, the beds were doubles instead of queens, comfortable though, the room needed a little tlc, paint scratches on walls, towel rack falling off wall in bathroom, the door adjoining room would not lock, luckily there was a nice old lady in the next room. Lobby and all was gorgeous, the rest of the hotel could use an upgrade.

Positives: Great workout room, pool and steam room.

Negatives: Rooms need upgrading, towel rack falling off wall, bad view.

Easy location to stay in downtown Anchorage. Our family enjoys it because they have a pool. We like it because it feels safe and secure. Doormen in the lobby but not intrusive. We still feel we have our privacy.

Positives: Clean rooms, warm but not snuffy, good showers, room service.

Negatives: Can't think of anything this trip.

Overall, the stay (which was to stay in the city after an out patient surgery) was fine, with the exception of the small details were noted above. Also, we got the room with the worst view in the house (overlooking boiler stacks and rooftop vents).

Positives: They let my dog stay (for $25) and loaned us a wheelchair.

Negatives: Room service food was cold, pop machine gave wrong sodas, ice machine broken.

I was very disappointed with how noisy the location was. Drag racing cars and people screaming outside all night. The very early morning train horns blowing. This all did not lend to a restful night.

Positives: The beds and pillows were awesome.

Negatives: It's location made it a very noisy stay.

Positives: The food.

Negatives: Traffic in alley outside our window.

Positives: Awesome beds and pillows.

Negatives: Parking is very inconvenient.

The staff was great. Hotel location was right downtown. But the room was tiny the sink and shower kept backing up. By the time the hotel staff would show up it would go back down. I think we just got a small bad room. Room #1020 stay far away from it. The rest of the hotel was great.

Positives: The hotel staff was great.

Negatives: Sink was backing up as was the shower.

I did not like that when we asked to check in an hour early the guy refused straightaway, and then proceeded to give us a nice view of the back of a building and right by the loud air conditioning system.

Positives: Location/convenience to downtown.

Negatives: Parking was expensive at the hotel, had to walk a few blocks for reasonably priced parking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 08 Oct 2005 rated 4 out of 10.

Hotel lobby was clean, but the garbage from the previous guest was left on the bathroom counter. Room was facing the docks and train tracks, so was very noisy. Would not stay there again if we had a choice.

Positives: Close to shopping and convention center.

Negatives: Much too noisy.

Hotel is one of the best in Anchorage. It is down town, close to shopping. For Vacation it is the best. Has nice rooms. Large and very comfy.

Positives: Good location, clean, up to date. Very nice.

Negatives: Parking garage to far away. Valet Parking only. Food too expensive.

While the name means sophistication and quality, that is not what we received when we stayed there. Our room was smaller than my boy's room at home the bed barely fit. The fitness equipment was broke and so was the hot tub. There was no hot water in the morning for our shower and the blow dryer only blew cold air. I asked for a full refund but they declined.

Positives: Nice atmosphere, Star bucks in the lobby.

Negatives: Our king sized bed barely fit in the small room.
