My wife and I stayed at the HGI in Anchorage,Alaska for three nights in September of 2011. As a mid-tier property in Anchorage, I can definitely recommend this property. This property is well located as it is only a 5-7 minute drive from ANC (Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport) and a 10 minute drive from downtown Anchorage. The area immediately surrounding the hotel has a large variety of eateries from fast food through various (price) levels of sit down restaurants. A large multiplex theater is also just a 2 minute drive from the hotel.

The hotel itself is clean and well maintained. As is standard for HGI properties, there is a small shop next to the checkin counter with snacks and various toiletries. There is also a restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner (and I assume lunch but we never went for lunch and we were always out during the mid day hours). The breakfast had a good selection of morning breads but I think it would be nice if they had some non-pork breakfast meats as there are many people (Muslim, Jewish, etc....) that do not eat pork and would appreciate a meat option in the morning. We had two dinners there (one through room service and one actually in the restuarant) and the quality was above average (though a bit pricey, especially through room service). The crab cakes are actually quite good and the portion (though it is an appetizer) it is large enough to be a full meal.

The fitness facility is adequate as it has weights (both free and a machine), a couple of treadmills, a couple of ellipticals and an exercise cycle. There is a pool next to the fitness room which looked nice (but I did not try it so I cannot comment on the temperature). The business center had two computers which were a bit slow but there is also wifi capability in the rooms.

The room itself was clean and of average size. There were no in-room movies but those are usually a bit on the expensive side anyway. The adjustable bed was nice and comfortable. The room lighting could have been a bit better and while the maid service was daily, I think we were in a bit of an ironing board war as it was not put away once during our stay.

For the three night stay, we paid approximately $450 (taxes included) with an advanced purchase prepay rate, so I definelty could not complaint about the price. Overall, I Would recommend the HGI in Anchorage and if I return to Ancorage, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

stayed here after flying into ANC late. Easy to find from airport. clean, bright lobby and great rooms - nice high ceiling (at least on first floor). Hotel was quite and comfortable. Breakfast the next morning was adequate. LIked that the kids were comped with 2 adult breakfast purchases. Check-in service was a little slow - would have been an issue if I was in a hurry but kids were sleeping in car so wasn't this time.
Overall a nice stay.

Stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Anchorage for one night between a cruise and flight home. Staff were friendly, common areas standard-issue HGI, as was the room. Everything was clean and worked well. No complaints.

The hotel was only a couple of miles from the airport, so it's really handy for that. They also have an airport shuttle, but I can't speak to its reliability because I rented a car. Left before six in the morning, so didn't get to partake of the breakfast. This HGI is walking distance to TGIFridays and Golden Corral if that appeals to you and don't have a car. Downtown restaurants are a ten-minute car ride away.

I recommend if you want a fine, mid-grade hotel in close proximity to the airport.

My Dad and I stayed here for a night after our two week road trip around Alaska. It was nice to have a bit of luxury after "roughing it" in a few questionable hotels/motels around Alaska. The beds were very very comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. The room was very clean (and I am fussy about cleanliness).

The restaurants around the hotel were pretty good for lunch and dinner but the hotel's buffet breakfast was amazing! It had the best variety of breakfast foods out of any hotel I have been to. Nice fresh fruit (blueberries, blackberries, kiwifruit, strawberries), eggs/french toast/pancakes cooked to order, lots of different juices as well as all of the hot food as well. It was worth reccomending based on the breakfast alone!
