Solid Comfy Hotel
Saturday, August 27, 2005
We used to always stay in the Marriott Anchorage Downtown whenever we came to Anchorage. I recently stayed in the newly renovated Sheraton (see corresponding post in Judy's Book) and loved it - it's my new Anchorage hotel. However, the Marriott is extremely solid and the best second choice in town. It's standard Marriott - nothing special - but everything is as you'd expect. The views facing the water are pretty special since it's the last tall building before the water so make sure you ask for a room facing north west. Room service is nothing special - you are surrounded by good restaurants on 4th and 5th street - go for a walk and find something.
