We stayed here on two separate occasions. You can walk to most downtown attractions and restaurants from this conveniently located 40 room hotel. Rooms are decent size, and most came with a kitchenette (frig., microwave, cups and sink). We were told that not all room has wireless internet access but the lobby does.
One of the rooms we stayed in has a sitting area where the couch could be pull out as an extra bed. Another room we stayed in was the ground floor handicapped room next to the coin-op Laundromat. It was fine. Noise level was much lower than expected. Because of the handicapped access, this room did not consist of a kitchenette nor an extra bed. However, we still got a sofa and a frig. Both beds in the rooms were comfortable enough for a decent night’s sleep.
Don’t count on their free breakfast, it is pathetic. Tea and coffee is okay but that is it. When you are in the room, keep the dead bolt on because one of their staff seems to be confused about which room is occupied and which is vacant. Don’t get us wrong, they are nice people and there’s no problem with theft but …

I am a single traveling woman. I thought as this hotel was on a corner street right downtown it would be safe. Each time I went out there were bumbs standing outside asking for money.
The hotel is very overrated. It has a restaurant and you can smell it throughtout the hotel all the time. The rooms were ok but nothing to get excited about. The hotel is on courner of the busyest street downtown so you hear the street noise all the time. Parking is across the street, you pay of course. Overall i was not impressed a bit with this hotel.
Not Worth It.

We had the misfortune of staying here 2 nights while working at the large hotel across the street (should have paid the extra price and stayed there). This hotel is on one of the busy streets downtown with street noise all night long. The room we had was above the restaurant and smeeled of burnt food all the time. The maid service was sub-par and when we complained to the desk clerk the answer was she had a bad day. Don't waste your money here stay at one of the other small hotels nearby or spend the extra money and stay at the Cook across the street.
Ovrrated by a mile!

We had a business meeting and party next door and we decided to stay downtown instead of driving the 15 miles back home at midnight. Should have taken the drive. We had never been inside the Voyager but had been told it is pretty good. It must be pretty good during the summer because it sure was not at this time of the year. Lots of noise from the street and the drunks in the hall. Bad smell from the restaurant in the basement, smelled like they had burnt the bread or something. The desk clerk was rude when we asked if they could hold the noise down.
Not our best hotel experience, will not be back
I am not hard to please

This was our 3rd hotel in Anchorage during the past week. I have to say it was the best out of the 3, but that is not saying much. We were told it was the best small hotel in Anchorage, WRONG! The location is ok if you don't mind it being on the corner of a very busy street with road noise on both sides. If you don't mind the smell of the restaurant downstairs all night, then I guess it is OK. The rooms were ok but nothing special.
We get the impression that the Anchorage Hotels make the money during the summer and are just open in the winter to be open. The only good experience we had in Anchorage hotels were last summer at the smallest hotel in town, to bad it was full this time.
