Top Imaginarium Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

Historic Anchorage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location for train travel. Try 49 Restaurant."

Highliner Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our cozy room and the hotel. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful with check-in/check-out. The room itself was very clean, and everything looked new. Appreciated all the little touches like convenient usb/usb-c power charges in each room, and nice big TVs in both the bedroom and living-room. Also had little breakfast/snack items in the lobby with coffee and other beverages. We would stay here again in a heartbeat."

Highliner Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to airport and downtown. Clean and had amenities listed"

Aspen Suites Hotel Anchorage Downtown

8/10 Good

"Very basic hotel. We only slept here for about 6 hours. It seemed a bit old and rundown, but was clean and quiet."

Hotel Captain Cook

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel has it all! The location is perfect, gym with sauna and steam room was luxurious, and bars and restaurants exceptional. We stayed a couple of nights before our cruise out of Whittier. We rented e-bikes a few steps away and traveled Tony Knowles Coastal Trail to Kincaid park and back, since the trail starts right near the hotel. While the hotel was busy with travelers, I was impressed by the Pantry’s hostess’s ability to accurately time the wait for our table. She said 20 minutes and I wondered “actually 20” or “restaurant 20” since I’ve experienced 20 turn to 40 in other places. We set a timer and she called our name 30 seconds before it ended. We enjoyed drinks and lunch at Fletcher’s. The Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned was on point. All meals were well portioned and delicious. Clean, generously sized rooms. Kudos to the entire staff at Captain Cook’s -experienced and dialed in, taking care of everyone. Highly recommend!"

Ingra House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Kitchen was great"

Clarion Suites Anchorage Downtown

8/10 Good

"I chose this location for the price. All Anchorage hotels are very very expensive, and so was this one, but it was the best choice based on location and reviews. It was nice that they had free hot breakfast. The rooms were large, and clean. Nothing glamorous, but it was fine for an overnight stay before a cruise"

Arctic Fox Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Corrine was very helpful! I slept well and enjoyed having a window and my own bathroom. The location was convenient and I could walk to great downtown restaurants."

Creekwood Inn

8/10 Good

"it was available, among lowest cost places."
