2 reviews for Dimond Center Hotel
This hotel is right by the Dimond Center Mall... and mind you the mall is one of those less fancy mall in Anchorage. While the hotel is fairly new, some of the things in here are old (i.e. iron board, quilted chair has some stains). I like the fact that there is a tub which one can use to relax while watching tv from the little window.... too bad I haven't had the chance of using it at all. The beds were comfortable, however, since the hotel is also right by a little transit center, when there were cars with special speakers, I could feel the window shaking as those cars drove by the hotel. I could also hear the footsteps in the hall way when kids or adults were running. I would suggest getting a room facing the front of the hotel (note that there is an opened space part of the second floor so some rooms may hear lobby noise).
I gave it a 4-star since I do enjoy this hotel more than the downtown Marriott. The hotel does serve FREE continental breakfast which is very simple but fills the tummy so I don't have to hunt for food in the morning. There are a ton of the chain stores around so you won't really get bored staying in here.
One thing I really did not like was the shower, it's really small for a hotel room this size and the curtain tends to be blown towards me while I'm showering which makes it a tad gross.
They have a fridge and microwave, although I didn't use all of them but it's good to know they are available.
Finally, if you like to work out, this is probably not a good choice. Any hotel guest can use the atheletic club to work out (you get this day pass), but the atheletic club is REALLY REALLY old. Nothing like your normal 24 hour fitness. I felt quite gross touching the elliptical handles when I was working out.

Ah, 72" jetted tub..... Kings size, most comfiest bed ever. And the loot includes: bottled water, a loofah, Aveda products, Biscotti, popcorn, organic tea. Oh my. They loose a star for my need to run the jets and refill the tub with clean water. At 300 clams I don't want to clean my own tub. Also, the location is a little odd, it is next to the Dimond Center Mall and a Wal-Mart.... I usually like to stay downtown but the room makes up for the loca. The staff was very pleasant and made note of running the jets when they clean the tub. My need for a quiet evening with the husband was completely fullfilled and totally enjoyed. I recommend going in the winter when the rates are cut in half, as is the case with most hotels in Alaska.
