Top Alaska Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and a very comfy bed"

Merrill Field Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and it indeed had a kitchenette with a small stove. But absolutely no utensils to use the kitchenette, Not even a skillet or a pot. So I think it was unusable. We could not cook even a small dinner. The table to eat at was very small. Also, a shuttle picked us up from the airport in 50 min but it was probably a miscommunication between the driver and the reception, Then in the morning, the shuttle was on time and we came to the airport exactly as the receptionist assumed, which is more important."

Comfy & Cozy Stay w/ Mountain View Centrally Located 5 to 7 mins from everything

8/10 Good

"We truly enjoyed our stay. This Vrbo worked for us. Being in a neighborhood was a new experience. Some nights the traffic noise was loud and being in our 70’s and being light sleeper’s it would wake us up. Would recommend this Vrbo to anyone. Abe responded to our needs quickly. Thank you for offering this Vrbo. We truly enjoyed our stay 9 day stay."

3 Bedrooms, 2 Bath, deck and BBQ, fenced in yard

8/10 Good

"The host was responsive and easy to communicate with."

Cozy Private Room with Two Beds And Private Bath

8/10 Good

"The space was definitely cozy and clean. We stayed one night while we were traveling. It was mostly a place to lay our heads before we moved on to the next part of our trip. We struggled to find it. The house didn't appear to be numbered on the front and we weren't sure where to park, so we parked in the back. I do think it was a little bit over priced for the space."
