Multiple guests have raved about the comfortable beds with many praising the incredibly comfortable and even "comfy" beds. One guest noted the clean and comfortable nature of the beds, while another referred to them as "good" alongside the furniture. Even those with small rooms found themselves with "prima bedden," or great beds. The only caveat? Rooms with only one double bed don't include a view. But with such comfy beds, you'll likely be too busy snoozing to notice.

3 Star

Located in an excellent spot in Anchorage, the Historic Anchorage Hotel is a charming and old-fashioned accommodation. Although it may be an older hotel, the service provided by the staff is fantastic. However, guests warn to ask plenty of questions before making a reservation.
