SUSAN in ANCHORAGE, AK
Susan,
We are planning our cruise to Alaska in July...Last July, we stayed at the Holiday Inn in downtown Anchorage...It was very convenient to everything including the Alaska Railroad (to go to Seward and board the ship) and also close to the Avis car rental place on 5th St. Its proximity to downtown and shopping was a plus...When I tried to book it today, I was told by the Holiday Inn people that the hotel was no longer part of their chain..Do you possibly know the name of it now and its phone number? I'd appreciate your help or anyone else's who might know... TIA, --Jean |

Huh? What do you mean, thanks anyway. It used to be a
Holiday Inn and now it's a Howard Johnson. Isn't that what you wanted to know?

I was not too sure that we wanted to stay at a HJO after checking out the number that you gave me.. After posting my answer to you, I called them back and asked for the address of the property in question and learned that it is indeed the place that we stayed in while in Anchorage last July....After bringing its site up online,and seeing it again, I booked it because of its proximity to everything in Anchorage that we were interested in... Thanks for your help! --Jean |

Yes, that's what I wanted to know..And at first, I was not sure about staying at a HJO....so the "thanks anyway." After checking it out, we reconsidered and booked... By the way, I don't think that you are the one who needs an explanation. --Jean |

Sorry Jean didn't log onto this morning.
You are right they are no longer part of Holiday Inn, not sure when but they've rebranded to a Howard Johnson's.

Jean,
Sounds like you got it worked out. Not sure what days you'll be here but the Saturday Market which is basically right across the street from the Howard Johnson's will now be called the Anchorage Festival Market and be held on Saturdays and Sundays. Even as a local I love going down there. Fresh local vegetables and lots of local arts and crafts plus all the other stuff that tourists want to look at :-} Susan Jean O'Boyle wrote: "jcoulter" wrote in message ... from the Hotel & Travel index the local number is 907 793 5500 these numbers rarely change when a property defranchises.

Fresh local vegetables and lots of local arts and crafts plus all the other stuff that tourists want to look at :-} Hi Susan, When we stayed there last July, we went to the Saturday Market..We watched from our hotel window as farmers and vendors were arriving with their wares and produce..There were some attired in what looked from the distance, Amish clothes..Is there an Amish or Mennonite community near Anchorage? I really enjoyed walking through all the craft stalls.. I love all the gorgeous flowers that you have blooming in your beautiful city.. The purple and gold floral baskets lining the streets are so pretty.. I guess the long days and nights of sunlight really bring those profuse blooms to life! We will be staying there two nights and then driving to Denali Park Lodge for four nights, returning to Anchorage on Friday, staying the night and catching the train to Seward on Saturday morning. We'll stay overnight in Seward and board the Ryndam on Sunday afternoon..Our granddaughter and family live in Sitka...We really love Alaska! To get away from the Texas heat in July, we like to head that way...although last year, you turned the tables on us with your *heat wave!* Thanks so much for responding! --Jean |
