loved the rooms we stayed at the beginning and end of our trip and loved all of it. The rooms were great, very spacious and nice touched which did make it feel homely. Glen was lovely and very helpful when we needed to find places to eat and explore; breakfast was nice and the communal feel was great. No issues... More

A friend and I stayed at the Copper Whale Inn in Anchorage when we found we had four days between the end of a tour and catching the train to Fairbanks, which only runs on Saturdays. We chose the Copper Whale Inn from the internet as none of the hotels offerred by travel agents seemed to be what we wanted.... More

We stayed at the Copper Whale Inn in June of this year. It is pretty centrally located in downtown Anchorage, an easy 4 or 5 block walk to the main area of downtown. We were shocked to find that there was no parking available when we arrived. You either had to keep feeding the meter or park in a garage... More

Thanks for your thoughts, and your high marks for our location and service. All parking info & pricing are on our website to see before reserving a room. Our parking vouchers are half what the garage charges you directly. The garage is only one-half block from the Inn, not several blocks. More

I had a FANTASTIC experience! The Inn was very cute, comfortable and well decorated. My room upstairs had a wonderful view and was very clean. I found the bed to be extremely comfortable. Noise was never a problem. The staff was kind and helpful. I got in at 1am and they did a great job of leaving instructions. Breakfast was... More

We spent 2 nights @ the Copper Whale. The location is great. Rooms are small but the views, staff and location make up the difference. Very clean and a nice breakfast. More

We loved our stay at the Copper Whale. First - the staff was so friendly and pleasant that we felt at home from the minute we came through the door. The room was small and plain, but had everything we needed and a lovely view. To us the bed was perfect - I didn't expect to sleep so well with... More

We stayed here for 6 nights in total at the beginning, middle and end of our holiday of a life time trip to Alaska. "We" consisted of 2 English women celebrating their 50th birthdays with a big trip and 2 x teenage girls along for the ride. We were made very welcome at all times and it was lovely returning...

We loved the Copper Whale - Anchorage is a funky little city and needs to be seen from street level - not from a big hotel. Copper Whale is perfectly located - walking distance to some great restaurants and pubs. We ate at Snow CIty Cafe for lunch, Humpy's for dinner -try the salmon burger. The Inn overlooks the seaside... More
