Anchorage Hotel Tips by ringleader

Hawthorn Anchorage: Hawthorn Suites in Anchorage

Our stay here was very pleasant. After 3 weeks of knocking around in a camper RV with our family of 4, it was nice to spread out for two nights and have a big bed to sleep in!

The people were helpful, the accomodations were nice, and the food was good.

Unique Qualities: We had the opportunity to enjoy their Wednesday night free social hour, which included food that equaled a light dinner.

Their free breakfast buffet was fabulous - make-your-own Belgian waffles, eggs, potatos, bacon, pastries, cereal - the works!

Pool was nice. Exercise room, too.

Look for their coupon in the Toursavers's Book (Must-see Activity Page under my Alaska page), we took advantage of their buy-one night get-one free coupon. The food manager says that was better than the least expensive rate, which they give to the military. The price recorded below reflects WHAT WE PAID, not their full rates.
