Clarion Suites Downtown Anchorage

Carpet looks old and dirty as you enter the reception. Surely block out curtains is a must in Anchorage- we couldn’t sleep with all the light coming in though the window.

The staff was fantastic and the hotel was great, but the wi-fi was embarrassingly bad. I would not have stayed here if I'd known the the wi-fi was useless. It's a shame, because otherwise it was a great hotel.

Hotel was average in all areas. It is in need of a remodel or cosmetic face lift. The location is about a quarter of a mile to the outskirts area of the downtown and restaurants. It is not a hard walk. The breakfast offered is good but with minimal selection and variation. It is a good place to stop over in transit for a nite or two. The staff was pleasant but needed more support during the busy times to accommodate well.

The suite is nice with a large living room. We are not clearly informed of the waiting area of shuttle bus should be the little house outside the airport exit rather than the exit no. in the airport, we missed the bus and it was difficult to reach out the receptionist to rearrange, we spent money for few cell phone calls and have waited for an hour in the airport. However, the shuttle service is good.

We stayed 2, non-consecutive, nights at the Clarion Suites. The staff really made this hotel stay excellent. The shuttle driver and the desk staff were all quite outstanding. The hotel itself could use a refresh - but the room, breakfast and laundry facilities were all great overall. It was quite affordable for the location and what you get.
