Holiday Inn Express Anchorage

My husband and I stayed at the Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport for one night in July 2026. We were only going to be there for 12 hours before getting onto a small plane headed to another location in Alaska. Folks - in Alaska (especially in the summer) it is all about supply and demand. There are not a lot of places to stay in Anchorage and unless you want to spend $400 - $600+ per night, you stay at a mediocre hotel like this one and pay about $300/night. The staff were very nice and helpful and appeared genuinely invested in their jobs at this hotel. The 24/7 free shuttle from ANC was operated very efficiently. I don't eat breakfast, but my husband did partake in the free breakfast. He said it was very crowded and not so great. It's an older hotel. It definitely could use some remodeling/upgrading. The room was decent. Bed was okay. I did notice some creepy little areas in the corners of the bathroom. The desk area where the coffee maker is located had a glass overlay and something black was under the glass. Mold? I don't know - it was just my first guess. Maybe just ink from a broken pen? I have stayed at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Anchorage in the winter and the price was reasonable, but their July 2026 rates are $700+. Every traveler has their price point. The Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport isn't a horrible hotel, it's just "Alaska Summer Affordable".

Horrible experience. Booked 2 rooms for 2 nights, the rooms smelled awfully like chemicals. We immediately checked out. The front desk personnel were extremely nice and said they we request a refund, but the only refund we got was one room was charged for only one night (wasn't really a refund they just only charged one night). The other room was charged for 2 nights.

Smells funny, in poor repair, not clean. Bathroom had hair and sink was full of chunks. We were exhausted after traveling, and just needed a functional place, but this place did not inspire confidence.
