Top University Area Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Anchorage, AK - Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"All good for a quick stay before a train trip. Staff answered all our Odd questions and arraigned a taxi for our early morning train. The free airport shuttle was very convenient!"

Highliner Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Highliner suites hotel has been newly renovated. The rooms were immaculate, the amenities were perfect (mini keurig, microwave, tea, coffee, fridge, complimentary water and shampoo, conditioner, soap etc in the bathroom. The rooms were spotless and fresh. The availability of sockets and USB ports for charging was fantastic - lots of extra ones without having to unplug things in the room. There was complimentary tea/coffee in reception along with light breakfast food - fresh fruit, muffins, danish pastries etc. All the staff were friendly and helpful. This is definitely a place I would go back to."

Aspen Suites Hotel Anchorage Downtown

8/10 Good

"Property was recently updated. Very comfortable and nice. About .5-1.0 mile walk to all downtown restaurants and activities. Bed was somewhat lumpy and worn out. Otherwise, room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast for $15 was very low key, basic but small offering. Didn’t use onsite bar or breakfast offering."
