suzettess Posted January 23, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2007 We are flying into Anchorage, staying overnight and catching the Carnival bus the next morning down to Whittier. I understand that the bus leaves from the Egan Center. Any suggestions on a place to stay? My TA suggested the Captain Cook but it's just to pricey for one very short night. This will be in June.

fti Posted January 23, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Earlier this year there was a great deal on hotwire. I got the Extended Stay Deluxe in downtown Anchorage for $50 one night and $37 another night. I don't think that hotel is still so cheap but you can check hotwire. If you are not familar with hotwire, you only know the exact name of the hotel once you pay for it. But you know the quality level of the hotel and the amenities and if you go to www.betterbidding.com they will give you some tips in identifying the hotel. The Ramada Inn Muldoon Road is usually pretty reasonable but they are not downtown. You might be able to buy Priority Club points through their website then book the Holiday Inn. I think you need 10,000 points for a night at the HI in Anchorage and you can buy 10,000 points for $100. I did that for Seward and it instantly made my hotel less than half price. Good luck. Post back what you ended up doing. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
