The Anchor Inn in Whittier is not at all impressive; however, it is an excellent value. It is quite inexpensive based on Alaska standards. It is reasonably clean. It is so small, you register in the adjacent restaurant. No breakfast comes with the room, but the restaurant provides an excellent breakfast. If all you want is a place to sleep,... More

While in Whittier for a day visit we visited the grocery store on the first floor of the Anchor Inn. It was surprisingly well stocked for a store in such a small town. We picked up drinks, snacks and motion sickness pills here. The woman working at the cash register was very friendly. it seems to be the only place... More

If you have stayed at the Anchor Inn in Whittier before and not impressed, you must try their vacation rental unit. We tried it and loved it. It is actually in the Begich Towers, the only highrise building in town. The rental unit is almost 800 square feet... not shabby at all. Looking out from the big windows from 10th... More

While the hotel is not the newest, it was very clean, the workers were kind and professional and the room well supplied and very comfortable. For the money, its the best stay in town and if you ever worry about your personal items... you won't have to here. My beautiful pearl necklace was accidentally left behind, and the owners and...

Am sorry if I sound judgmental, but some of the other reviewers sound a little too entitled! This is Whittier, people....just 200 people live here..and some of them decide to open a nice decent place for us to spend the night...yes, it's not a resort...it's simple, not pretentious...but the rooms are clean, the bathrooms cleaner, there is TV and internet...

(and trap me with the previous occupant's garbage that was still behind the nightstand). Room had some kind of ionizer oder remover in the room. (was removed when we had exited the room) device does not work as room... More

I know that everything in Alaska costs a little more, and in some areas service runs on the rugged side, but the Anchor Inn is especially expensive and especially bad. eally run down (ie moldy smelling, rotten window panes, dirty rooms etc...) and it runs in the $60-80 range in the summer. I also had not one, but two motel... More

Do not stay here, ever!!! Well, where to begin... when you approach the building you are horrified. When you get into the building you cannot believe your eyes. The hallways... it seemed to us like a hotel for prisoners, the carpet has never met a vacuum cleaner. Now it cannot help anymore. The drinking tub in the hallway looked worse... More

The door to the room was more like an interior door. The carpet was a 70's orange. I dont feel the pictures they... More
