The Hampton is a free shuttle and a hot breakfast near ANC, and that's the whole pitch. Hilton lists the airport shuttle as complimentary, breakfast as free and hot, and an indoor pool for kids who've been sitting all day.
What Hilton doesn't list is shuttle hours. Complimentary isn't the same as running at 1 AM, so call before a late landing.
One dog or cat is welcome, and the fee stacks: $50 non-refundable plus $75 for up to four nights. Seward is about 124 road miles away by our estimate.
Book it for the night you land, and ask the front desk when the last airport run leaves.
Book it if
- Flyers landing in daylight the day before
- One dog or cat on the trip
Look elsewhere if
- You land after midnight and need the shuttle in writing.
- You want to wake up in Seward.
