Top University Area Hotel Reviews

The Wildbirch Hotel - JDV by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"The rooms had a very nice Alaska design and were very cozy and comfortable. Perfect place for a short business trip."

Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport

8/10 Good

"Food was better than most I’ve been at for breakfast. Rooms were great, location was good, felt safe. The internet sucked. It was free but had to pay for it to be faster. Could not be much slower. Had to reload the server every morning to get it to work. You also had to sign up for stuff to get the free internet also. I ended just using my hotspot from my phone to get anything. If it wasn’t for the internet I would be more likely to stay there again. And probably will again just because of the staff."

Newly Updated- Top Floor- Bona Nook #5

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean and was as pictured. Had every thing in the kitchen that i needed or would have needed if my stay was longer. Parking was easy. Only problem wasone of the nights the people below me who woke me up being loud. I was thankful the issue was taken care of. I hope to stay there again."
