Sheraton Anchorage Hotel and Spa

4th time staying here, would return. Convenient location in downtown for those not renting a car. Good hotel, nice staff. Clean. Appreciate having laundry facilities in the hotel, it’s one reason I chose this over other options. Rooms could do with better soundproofing (and maybe some guests could be more considerate and refrain from making a racket in the hallway at 5am). I didn’t think it was worth paying extra for a view (nothing to write home about on 8th floor) but might be better on top floors?

We stayed here for 1 night after disembarking a cruise in Whittier. Upon arrival our room wasn't ready so we were able to leave our bags until we could check in later (after 3pm). We were on the 4th floor and had a view of the roof below and the cemetery across the road (not really something you want to be looking at). The room was large and the had a king bed which was very comfortable. There was a large desk, a nice desk chair and a lounge chair. The shower had good pressure (always a nice thing for a hotel). Unfortunately we found that the remote control was being held together with a bandaid - totally gross! It was an easy 10-15 minute walk to the centre of Anchorage. The room service (dinner) was excellent and quick. They were very friendly when taking the order and provided lots of different sauce options in little jars. Overall an alright hotel as long as you don't mind the distance to town and don't want to check in early.

Book that other choice. It is convenient but the staff and service are terrible. If there is an event it will be loud and disruptive and if your neighbor flushes you will hear it. But the most upsetting thing is the callous disregard the staff have for what might be considered common consideration. Like some coffee? Such an inconvenience. Hot chocolate...how dare ya? Food in the bar? Trying to annoy? Sheraton either needs to reconsider or there needs to be substantial staff changes. Oh and its after midnight and yes we can still hear the party and the sun doesn’t really set so forgive us for staying in a Sheraton where it doesn’t matter.

Good up scale choice for Anchorage with a fair downtown location.
