What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible, the Travel Channel series hosted by Anthony Melchiorri, profiled an Anchorage, Alaska property called Anchorage Lofts Hotel in the Season 7 episode Anchorless in Anchorage, which aired 2016-07-18. Google Places matches this address to the Aloft by Marriott Anchorage at 310 W 36th Ave, a Marriott-flagged select-service hotel with an indoor pool, fitness center, and the brand's WXYZ bar, according to Marriott's own property page. A direct fetch of that Marriott page on 2026-09-09 returned an HTTP 403 block, so no page text could be pulled from the official site during this check.

Yelp's listing for the address, last updated in September 2026, records 30 reviews and continues to carry the hotel as an active business with 74 photos posted. Tripadvisor separately maintains a review page updated in 2026 that ranks the property 35th of 75 Anchorage hotels with a 3-of-5 rating from 77 travelers, and Expedia's current listing scores it 8.6 out of 10 with guest comments about the room and pool. Together, the Yelp and Tripadvisor pages, both carrying 2026 dates, point to a hotel still operating at this address, now trading as Aloft by Marriott Anchorage rather than under the name used when Hotel Impossible filmed there in 2016. Nothing found in this check named a change of ownership; the difference between the two names appears to be branding rather than a reported sale, with the address continuing in active hotel service roughly a decade after the episode aired.
