Great hotel with potential but needs some improvement with staff.
Pros:

Very comfortable bed. Nice bathroom. Good location.

Cons:

For the cost, I would expect our room to be cleaned. It wasn’t. When I asked about it, they told me only if I request it. Why didn’t they tell me that when I checked in? The restaurant wasn’t great. When they brought my husband’s dinner I was to,d they ran out of what I ordered. Why didn’t they tell me earlier so that I could have ordered something else. If I ordered it after they to,d me it would not have arrived in time for me to eat with my husband. So I didn’t order anything.

Nice hotel , checking in procedure could be improved. staff great ..maybe process could be imprudent
Pros:

Good location centrally in Anchorage and close to the Alaskan Railways Station, for my trip to Seward ( much to be recommended)
Rooms clean staff friendly , and cleaning staff all lovely and very polite
Excellent professional door guys and also security.. I think needed in AK
Great having coffee shop on site . The restaurant there Crimson was really great .. good service and very tasty food indeed ..
I got the quiet room that I requested which was great . All comms with reception fast and clear

Cons:

Checking in was chaotic .. so many folk in reception some waiting 2 hrs apparently. I arrived after the allowed check in time of 1500 and even then had to wait ..
No complimentary bottle(s) water on arrival…
It’s a big hotel .. laterally .. so big walks to room ..
Even given a map to get around
Gym bit basic

Safe, modern hotel
Pros:

Modern, clean and comfortable with large spacious rooms. Friendly staff and a lovely restaurant and coffee shop. Safe location with security.

Cons:

If you have mobility issues you need to request a room close to reception as some rooms are a LONG way from this. We had a room overlooking the water which was lovely but the railway runs all night so expect train noise and horns all night

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Location was terrible, property was way too expensive, and it was not worth what we paid.

Cons:

I didn’t like that the price was tripled during the busy season and a $300n night hotel went to $900/night. The room was not worth the $900 charge.

Great location and comfortable stay.
Pros:

Location is good, staff excellent. Comfy beds and good bathroom.

Cons:

Bad lighting in the bedrooms, they are too dark. The corridors are so long and there is not enough access to the car park if you’re room is located at the ‘wrong’ end of the building.

Very poor value for money for a Grand Hyatt property, the airconditioning fan was noisy, the exhaust fan in the bathroom
