Train from ANC to Seward

[cruisin'mama]

With the Comfort Inn, we always get a River view room which is opposite the train side. The first time a friend and I stayed there, we didn’t know any better and we were on the train side. Yes, we did hear the train on that side of the hotel.

As for cancellation policy, I’ve always been able to get a reservation that I could cancel without penalty…,

I haven’t stayed there for 3 years, so I can’t speak to any issues they might be having currently.

. and again, I only stay there for the convenience not the ambiance!

Expand (Zooom) the image out further to see the railroad activity

 

Note Comfort Inn @ Ships Creek is surrounded by tracks - across the river is a 

freight yard - apt to be traffic all day-night - in the front of the hotel is the mainline

passenger railroad of Alaska RR (where you board the train)

 

Comfort Inn is right centered in the image - - -

Alaska RR Anchorage Depot is in lower left image - - -

 

Ramada Inn you will hear trains all night

Other hotels within 2-3-4 blocks away will also hear trains especially those facing the tracks.

But not so much L-O-U-D noise !

Oh you won't hear train horns but the shuttling and movement of train cars being

connected (cars banging into each other) - heavy diesel action of locomotives rumbling.

What would expect from being next to a freight yard ?

 

If you are tired enough this will not be too much of concern

Turn on the air conditioning (not heat) just the blower for white noise cover up !
