Avoid this place!
Pros:

Absolutely the worst hotel to go to. Pool always under maintenance, floors not vacuumed, conditioner need replaced, no room service , they were under staffed. Told could shuttle to the other pool, shuttles full had to walk. When asked to speak with manager, manager just left. When asked for the owners number, supposedly this hotel is not owned. Definitely not the standard Hilton experience!!!!

Pros:

Proximity to Starbucks for early access to coffee was good, as we had to leave at 5:30 am (before breakfast available).

Cons:

The room was extremely exensive for what it was and the floor cleanliness in the room was not as expected. The room was very basic and lacked standard amenities. The shuttle was not at all efficient. I was told to call once I received our luggage, which I did and gave our names (there were two of us). When the shuttle came 15 min later, it did not ask names and and a group of 15 jumped in front of us, using their size as an excuse. I suggested to the manager that they check off names when picking up guests from airport. We had to wait for another shuttle to take us to the hotel. For the price, this should not occur.

Pros:

La camera spaziosa pulizia buona
Personale gentile

Cons:

Scendeva poca acqua dai rubinetti del bagno
E non sono mai venuti anche solo per svuotare i cestini e cambio salviette
La camera aveva la luce del comodino solo da un lato

Prima hotel maar de gratis airport shuttle is door de telefonische bereikbaarheid slecht.
Pros:

De hotelkamer was ruim, licht en schoon. Er was tevens een koffie faciliteit op de kamer wat wij erg prettig vinden. Wij hadden een kamer aan de achterzijde van het hotel.
De klimaatbeheersing /airco doet het goed maar geeft lawaai. Wij hebben hem in de nacht uitgezet.
Het ontbijt was zeer minimalistisch, het was bij de hotelovernachting inbegrepen anders hadden we het niet apart geboekt. Je kon het ontbijt ook boeken bij de ontbijtruimte, maar het was de prijs, naar ons idee, niet waard. Een geroosterd broodje met jam en sterke koffie of thee kan je beter elders bestellen. Van de warme gerechten in de ochtend die er ook waren hebben we geen gebruik gemaakt.

Cons:

Een negatief punt is de gratis shuttlebus van de airport naar het hotel. Je moet het hotel bellen zodra je aangekomen bent. Wij stonden 18:30uur bij de shuttlebushalte van de airport, we hebben twee keer gebeld naar het hotel maar de telefoon werd niet opgenomen. Het hotel boeken vanwege de gratis shuttlebus service is dus zinloos. Ondertussen zagen we tijdens het wachten shuttlebussen van diverse hotels voorbijkomen zonder dat de gasten daarvoor moesten bellen.
We zouden dit Hilton Garden Inn hotel bij een volgend bezoek niet weer boeken. Dit hotel is niet Hilton waardig. Na een reisdag vlucht met overstap, van 17uur geeft dit hotel je geen warm welkom gevoel.

Awful Service from Restaurant Supervisor
Pros:

Location is great, rooms are average, and service is pretty bad. Particularly, the restaurant supervisor.

My husband and I returned to the hotel after dinner and found that they were still servicing our room. No big deal, so we sat at the large table in the lobby to wait. There was a woman already sitting there, FaceTiming her grandchild.

The inappropriate music in the lobby was BLARING. I say that it was inappropriate because it was R&B and rap, obviously from someone's personal playlist and not elevator music, Oldies, classical, or even Top 40 that you hear everywhere else. It felt like we were in a downtown club.

I made a comment about the noise level to my husband, and he agreed it was very loud. The woman who was talking to her grandchild turned, looked at me, and then pointed to the ceiling speaker where the music was blasting from and motioned with her ears that she couldn't hear.

I went to the front desk to ask if they could turn down the music. As I was speaking to the sweet girl, this gentleman came from the back office and walked over to us. I knew instantly this was going to be an issue. He informed me with an attitude that they always have it that loud during dinner to drown out people's conversations, so that people in the lobby and restaurant can't eavesdrop on anyone else. Um, what? That made absolute no sense. I told him that having the music that loud drowns out ALL conversations, even with the person you're speaking to at your own table, which is why people have to raise their voice to talk to each other. Having the music that loud actually does the opposite. If what he said made any sense, then I question what kind of establishment this is that patrons are in need of such private conversations that they can't order their food or check into their hotel room using a normal inside voice and not having to speak over the music.

He said that he had the general manager's permission to have the music that loud, asked for my room number, and said he could have her speak to me in the morning. It was obvious that he was offended that I didn't take his illogical reasoning and wanted to cause a bigger issue than needed. We both knew why the music was the loud: he wanted it that loud. He wanted to listen to it while he waited on his five tables for the night. I told him that my room number had no effect on the fact that the music was inappropriately loud in the open area. He cut me off and demanded my room number. I just shook my head and walked back to the table where my husband and the other hotel guest were. The woman thanked me for trying and walked outside to continue her conversation with her grandchild, and my husband and I went back up to our room.

Disappointing Stay for Diamond Members — Not the Hilton Experience We Expect
Pros:

My spouse and I are retired and have been traveling full‑time since September 2024. Because we live on the road and stay in hotels year‑round, we rely heavily on consistent service and elite recognition. As long‑time Hilton Honors Diamond members, we’ve experienced excellent treatment at many Hilton properties across the country — which made this stay especially disappointing.

From the moment we arrived, the answer to every request was simply “no.”

• Asked for an upgrade at check‑in → immediate no.
• Asked the day before checkout for a 12:00 checkout → no, and told to “ask tomorrow.”
• The morning of checkout, our room phone didn’t work, so we went downstairs in person → still no, with 11:30 being the absolute latest.

This is not the level of hospitality Hilton typically provides to its most loyal members. We stay in hotels constantly, and the contrast was noticeable. Marriott consistently treats us far better with our elite status, and the difference in recognition and flexibility is significant.

Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this Hilton Garden Inn. If you’re visiting Anchorage, choose another Hilton property — or if you hold status with both Hilton and Marriott, Marriott will likely give you a much better experience.

Great Stay
Pros:

It was a great and comfortable stay, we spent 6 nights and no complaints. They also did housekeeping every alternate day without reminders. Breakfast menu was also good, Dhanush took a good care of us every morning during breakfast with a smile and excellent service. Thanks
