Nice hotel. A bit on the older side. Within walking distance of a few places to eat. Room was very clean which is a big thing with me and hotel rooms. The cleaning staff was great. Front desk folks are ok. more

People who come to Alaska expecting anything but real people with real virtue will be disappointed. I've stayed here every time I stayed in Anchorage and although its not a hoity toity resort sort of place, the same people have been working here for 30 years and dont mess around with customers with bad attitudes who feel superior. Likewise, if... more

Hotel was pretty shabby. Staff were eating behind reception (and getting most of it down them!!!) while checking us in - call me old fashioned, but I thought that was what break times were for. Food was reasonable (room service that is) Rooms were adequate - but I wouldn't stay here out of choice. Thankfully this was a business trip... more

We spent 3 nights at the Golden Lion. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of our room, the hotel desk staff, and the maid service. We were with 3 other friends and they were also very happy with their accommodations. We were traveling by motorcycle and the hotel provided us with old towels to wipe off our riding gear.... more

After a wonderful cruise we checked into this place. The people at the front desk are very nice. However, the carpet in our room was absolutley filthy. We have stayed in a lot of Best Westerns and this hotel was absolutley the worst. We happened to hit Anchorage on the hottest day of the year. The A/C did not work.... more

Golden Lion is a reasonably priced hotel at Anchorage. Its a few miles from downtown so you definitely will need a car for transportation. Other than that, the rooms are large, has a frige and microwave, as well good amenities (restaurant and bar on site). If I am in the area again, I would stay here. more

Booked this through Priceline so good rate for peak summer period. We were worried about bad reviews on Tripadvisor and other websites so very skeptical about this hotel. However when we arrived front desk was very pleasant and effiicent. Hotel is older low rise but in good condition. Room was clean and well stocked with towels, micro, mini fridge, and... more

After reading the various reviews of this hotel, I had mixed feelings about making a reservation, but decided to take a chance. Arriving later in the evening, the front desk clerk was courteous and accomodating, even welcomed us, saying she was awaiting our arrival. A nice feeling, after traveling many air miles to get to Anchorage. The room was very... more
