The rooms were on the small side but absolutely perfect!!!! There was everything that you needed from a microwave to a mini fridge with a freezer to a coffee pot with coffee with the extras. The rooms were immaculate and the beds were super comfy. The bar below was great after a long day just to have dinner and an ice cold beer from tap. Sara who worked the bar was kind enough to let me know one night that there would be music and what time it would be done. I had my 2 pups with me and could not have asked for any place safer or more relaxing for them and myself. Definitely our go to spot when in the area!!! Thank you so much for everything.

The room was extremely small. No chair nor room to put a chair. Would be a great stopping over place for one person like a backpacker/hiker needing a dry place to lay their head for a night. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and staff was pleasant. Price was fair compared to other way more expensive places.

Unique facility
Very comfortable bed but we had to move it out from the wall which left a very small walkway on both sides. The room had everything needed except for kleenex. The bar downstairs served good burgers.

Doors are not safe closures. It’s above a pub so don’t plan on sleeping good before midnight. Waitress was nice. Owner was nice. View and access to trails was great.

Very good value
Very good value for money given cost of rooms in Anchorage and only 30min to airport. Room was basic but clean and had microwave and fridge Bed was comfy. The food was decent and freshly cooked. We didn’t feel it was a welcoming bar though and the staff were a bit unfriendly to start with. Didn’t really make us feel too welcome and a bit in the way when we tried to play pool. However we did get ice for the room and the bar tender seemed to get more friendly as the night wore on.

We were hoping for a place to stay along the Turnagain Arm on our last night in Alaska. The Brown Bear was just the spot. Our room was small and basic, but clean and comfy. Our window overlooked the mountains/water and we enjoyed watching the changing skies. We grabbed burgers in the saloon and they were delicious. We hiked a couple trails nearby. If we return to Alaska, we would be glad to stay at the Brown Bear Saloon & Hotel again.

The room was clean but small. No TV in room. Outside of building was not typical motel look but the room was very clean and comfortable. Nice to have a place to eat downstairs.

Flew to Anchorage from Australia and drove straight to the Brown Bear. What a great first stop and first experience! It was 930pm but still able to order a couple kraut dogs and beers in a very friendly, cozy saloon with nice locals and killer decor. The room is very basic and small but clean with a great mattress and pillows. Not fancy…but we had a great night sleep and a wonderful experience.

Well, it’s a motel, so I didn’t expect too much. The room isn’t bad, with a sink beside the bed and a small fridge. But the shower takes forever to get hot and the bed is very noisy. You can also hear everything around you, the cars, the neighbour coughing, the toilets flushing… I gave it 3 out of 5, but it would be 2,5 if I could.

Room was clean. Bed was comfy. Stairs up to the rooms are very steep and rickety. View from room was nice. Room had good amenities but no tv. Wifi connection was very slow...too slow to watch anything on your phone. All rooms are above the saloon which plays music until midnight every night. Difficult to sleep. Price is reasonable. Good Room for someone who stays out late.
