Home2 Suites is for the Seward trip that starts with groceries. Every studio has its own kitchen, breakfast is hot and free, and there's an indoor pool and hot tub in midtown.
That kitchen matters more on this route than most: Seward is about 123 road miles south on our estimate, and stocking a cooler the night before beats paying for every meal on the road.
Hilton lists no airport shuttle, though ANC is only about 3 miles away by its count. Two dogs or cats can come, for $75 up to four nights.
Book it for a night or two either side of the cruise, and shop before you check in.
Book it if
- You want a kitchen to stock up before the drive south
- A pet that's coming on the road trip
Look elsewhere if
- You want an airport shuttle.
- You'd rather wake up in Seward.
