"An old teacher's dorm built during Roosevelt's settling of the Matanuska Valley, the Colony Inn retains the feeling of its original purpose, minus the house mother."

"An ideal downtown location, recently remodeled rooms and a bright and elegant interior make this gay-friendly inn one of the best top-end places in Anchorage."

"This location offers the best of both worlds: it's walkable to everything worth seeing in Downtown, but it's on the quiet end of Fifth Avenue, right next to a small park and the 11-mile Coastal Trail."

Frommer's
"The inn is essentially a small, boutique hotel with rooms in two buildings separated by a water garden. Close to all the downtown attractions, the inn is just a block away from the coastal trail"
