Aviator Hotel Anchorage i Anchorage

Not a whole lot of positive things to say in this review. Although not terrible, I would definitely not stay here again. The girl at the front desk vocally let myself and 2 other waiting guests know that her legs were tired and she was sick of working so make it quick. Great start. She said she was new so it took her quite a while to get us checked in. Then we go to park and can't find a parking spot in the small parking lot. I returned, waited for her to work with a frustrated guest (and after that guest left she loudly make a snarky remark about them in front of me). I asked if we could park in the larger pay parking connected to the hotel and she says to just park in the yellow area next to the front door. I go back and and someone had just parked there but luckily a guest left so we found another spot. Get our stuff out to go in the door and the key card didn't work. Returned to get a new key card and got our stuff to the room. I had noticed all the other cars had parking passes so I returned to the front desk, waited in line and asked if I needed a parking pass which I did. Not sure why that didn't come up the other times I was there at the desk. The hotel is pretty rundown. Bathroom is ok. Beds were pretty uncomfortable. The room is just below street level on the one end and we had a drunk couple arguing and yelling death threats at 1am for about 20 minutes. A few more drunks wandered by loudly later in the night. The location is nice being downtown, but that's it

walking distance to train and bus station.

Good location - close to restaurants, malls, tours, etc. The hotel is beat up. It was mostly clean, but a very old building that was shabby-looking. The first day, housekeeping staff knocked on our door even though we had the Do Not Disturb sign on, and then never came back later like we asked to clean our room. The second day, they took the sheets off the bed and never put them back on. We had to call the front desk at 5pm to have them bring us sheets. However, when they did clean the room, it was done well. And I did leave some jewelry in the room which they found and returned to me - I am VERY grateful for that! The front desk staff is very under-trained. They couldn't tell us about the area or answer most of our questions. There was a lot of "ummmm"s and "I don't know"s with every interaction. I heard them on several other occasions dealing with others and that was pretty much the response for everything. They were friendly, just not very helpful. Overall, the room was ok for a place to sleep. And the hotel was ok for a less-expensive way to stay downtown near all the things we wanted to see. Just don't expect much more than that.

Great walking distance. We went out to dinner and shopped all had drinks all day and night and dint have to worry about taking our car, we were able to walk everywhere.

Hotel OK but most of staff was rude tried to talk to ed to set up shuttle h never called
