Pros:

The style and decor were outstanding. Very clean and comfortable, with extraordinary staff.

Cons:

Entering in required speaking to staff through a button activated radio by the door that was extremely difficult to communicate through. Voices were muffled and glitchy and we couldn't understand. When we were let in, they seemed aware of the issue already, and in the process of repairing it

The best hotel in Anchorage!!
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel in downtown Anchorage. It is so convenient to shops and restaurants. It's within walking distance to museums. It is just up the hill from the Alaska Railroad terminal. I stayed there for the Iditarod. It is the official hotel for the Iditarod. It was very cozy and safe. I will stay here again when I am lucky enough to visit Alaska again. I hope it is very soon.

Awesome Anchorage hotel downtiwn
Pros:

A really excellent hotel choice with vibrant Alaskan vibes including decor throughout. Great little store (Canteen) and restaurant (Crimson) with great food options. Perfect location downtown and within walking distance of a number of truly amazing restaurants. I very much look forward to staying at the Wildbirch in the future for both business and pleasure.

Pros:

Hassle free stay, the staff were efficient and helpful, nice room, well located within the downtown, as solo female traveller I recommend this hotel as it is within walking distance to resto/cafe/pub and to the Anchorage Museum.
Another advantage this hotel has coffee shop and I loved their brownies for my everyday hot latte while in Anchorage. And when you feel don’t want to go out, their in-house resto also nice (served good beer and delicious seafood chowder).

5* hotel, 4* neighborhood
Pros:

Overall, the hotel is a nice facility. Some of the rooms are located quite far from the main lobby. The breakfast was good, although a bit pricey. The area around the hotel was not particularly vibrant. There were a fair amount of souvenir shops, but not necessarily a lot of restaurants to choose from. It was nice to be near the start of the Iditarod. I would advise going to the nearby log cabin tourist center to get a self guided walking tour.

Perfect Spot
Pros:

We came to Anchorage to see Fur Rondy. Little did we know that the Wildbirch Hotel would be the perfect place. When I made the reservations I looked for a hotel downtown near restaurants etc. The Wildbirch met those requirements, had great reviews and a special, so I booked. Before we left home, I found out that the hotel was very close to the things we wanted to see at the Fur Rondy. When we arrived, we found that 2 of the things, the ceremonial Iditarod trail sled dog race, and the running of the reindeer were right out front. Then we found the carnival and snow carving all within walking distance. What luck! The hotel staff was superb! Rooms were warm and clean. It had been recently updated so everything looked great. The drinks and food at the restaurant in the hotel were yummy. We had a wondrous time.
