Anchorage Hotel Recommendations.

[junebug61]

Our cruise ends in Seward, we are taking the train from Seward to Anchorage then to Denali.

This requires an overnight stay in Anchorage. Any suggestions on where to stay for the night.

The Marriot Anchorage Downtown is another convenient option.

Another option that is not as nice as those posted above is the Ship Creek Comfort inn and Suites.  It is near the train depot—they have a shuttle (which is nice for a late night arrival) or you can walk.  Same in the morning—take their shuttle back to the train.  They offer a breakfast (which we don’t use).

 

Not too much to do around the hotel so it’s good for a late night travel arrival followed by a morning train departing.  Rooms are okay for one night.

Its now the Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek:   https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/wingate/anchorage-alaska/wingate-anchorage-downtown-ship-creek/overview

The Anchorage Grand is closest to the rail depot: https://anchoragegrand.com/

Next closest is the Anchorage Hilton: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/ancahhf-hilton-anchorage/  or the Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown/Ship Creek:   https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/wingate/anchorage-alaska/wingate-anchorage-downtown-ship-creek/overview

Because the purpose of the overnight stay is simply to facilitate the transfer from one train to another, a hotel proximate to the train station may be the best choice. While the area immediately surrounding the train station is largely industrial and does not have much commercial activity, you're not going to have much time between trains to do much in Anchorage overnight beyond sleeping. The train from Seward, the Coastal Classic, is scheduled to arrive in Anchorage at 10:15 p.m. The trains to Denali, the combined Denali Star-Wilderness Express, and the McKinley Explorer, are scheduled to depart from Anchorage at 8:15 a.m. and 9:15 a.m., respectively. The Wingate by Wyndham fits this criterion well, and with a level 1500-foot walk from the train station, is probably the most convenient and reasonably priced. Some other hotels might be incrementally closer geographically, but keep in mind that there is also a slight hill to climb when walking southward from the train station. In any case, best to have dinner in the railroad dining car before arrival, and not worry about finding a restaurant or delivery late night in Anchorage.
