For extended stay lodging in Alaska, the amount of options you have depends upon the city you need to visit. In Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau, there are a number of extended stay options available. However, more remote areas tend to leave you with few options.

If you are lucky enough to stay in a popular area, then you will quickly learn that your Alaska extended stay accommodations range from hotels to apartments to corporate-style housing. The length of your stay and the amenities you require determine the type of accommodations you choose.

More than anything, your Alaska extended stay lodging should make you feel at home. Whether you stay in a hotel, in an apartment or in corporate housing, your lodging should offer you the same amenities you have at home. A few of those amenities include the following items:

1. Most apartments, corporate housing units and extended stay hotels in Alaska include a kitchen; some offer dining rooms and up to 3 bedrooms.

2. Alaska executive lodging usually offers high-speed internet service, although there may be a charge to use this service.

3. Extended stay accommodations in Alaska may offer fitness centers, pools and hot tubs, cleaning service and laundry service/facilities.

If you plan to stay at a hotel, choose an extended stay hotel in Alaska. Hotels specifically designed for extended stays usually offer more amenities and services than regular hotels.

I recommend: Extended Stay Hotels offers their Extended Stay Deluxe hotels in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau. Visit each specific hotel to find out more information about amenities and prices.

Consider staying in Alaska apartment hotels or rentals

If you want more space that just a hotel room but you do not want corporate housing, look into apartment rentals. Another bonus to apartment rentals is that these are not just located in the most popular tourist areas.

I recommend: HiddenVacations.com offers vacation apartments in touristy areas, but these rental options are also available in a variety of places, including Ketchikan, Soldotna, Seward and Wasilla.

Check out corporate housing in Alaska

If you are not sure if extended stay lodging is right for you, look into other options, like corporate housing in Alaska.

I recommend: Equity Corporate Housing, Inc. provides options for temporary housing at reasonable prices. This company offers a long list of amenities, including cable packages and high-speed internet service. The downside to this website is that you need to contact the company or make a reservation to get detailed information about their Alaska corporate housing options.

Pasha Corporate Housing provides information about 1, 2 and 3 bedroom extended stay executive apartments in Alaska. For information regarding other Alaska corporate housing, contact this company.
