Anchor Inn
The Anchor Inn in Whittier, Alaska, has been family owned since 1980. This three-story hotel offers three types of room, depending on the size of your party: single, double or triple rooms. Each room comes with a dining table, separate living and sleeping areas and a full kitchen equipped with oven, stove top and full refrigerator. Guests also have the option of renting the vacation condo, which is a full apartment on the first floor of the hotel. Those who are looking to cook in their rooms can find supplies right next door to the hotel, as the adjacent building has a fully stocked grocery. But there are always some who dislike cooking; for them, the Anchor Inn has an in-house restaurant that serves American-style food for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the week.

The Soundview Getaway
The Soundview Getaway in Whittier is a cross between a time-share and a luxury hotel. It has a handful of apartment-like rooms, all coming with fully equipped kitchens, coffee and tea makers, cable televisions with VCRs and separate sleeping, living and dining areas. Despite each room's size and cozy feeling, however, this hotel has a strict no-pets-allowed policy. Also, because most cooking and dining can be done in room, there is no on-site restaurant or free complimentary breakfast. But guests will perhaps forget about these lack of amenities when they see the spectacular views each room has of Prince William Sound and Chugach National Forest.
