We love the location and all the restaurants in the hotel. The staff was great especially the Valets. However, the rooms are VERY tired. They need a complete refresh.
Very nice hotel, well maintained, beds and pillows comfortable. Hotels had good
food, great service. Cubby's was a good addition for grab and go items. Front desk very helpful when we needed to get taxis.
Room was exceptionally clean and toiletries were high quality. Multiple excellent choices of restaurants and shops were high quality. Staff we interacted with were friendly and knowledgeable.
Historic hotel with very nice and helpful staff. Great little cafe where you can get a good cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich to go.
Great location also on Anchorage. We had a huge suite and didn’t arrive until after midnight but front desk folks were super helpful.
The Staff was great, the resort is dated, and the Spa needs updating. Overall it was fine because you don’t have many choices however I would have expected room service to be available and for the bathrooms to be a little more elevated for the price.
The hotel is excellent, and the staff is outstanding. They were able to get our group of six rooms all on the same floor right next to one another that was utterly fantastic. They are very cordial and work with us extremely well, especially the fact that we’re extremely loud and obnoxious.
We had a corner room, which gave us nice views of the water. The hotel suite was clean and comfortable. The blackout curtains would’ve been if they closed all the way. Dinner at Fletcher‘s was terrific and breakfast at The Pantry was good too.The hotel is large, so you might be far from guest services and the front door.
The staff was very polite and helpful with everything. Clean establishment too.highly recommend it.

This is an older hotel and can use updating. The toilets are also too low and I suspect the elderly would have difficulty using them. It is conveniently located in downtown Anchorage. We stayed one night before our cruise the next day. It is overpriced for what you get and I would suggest staying elsewhere that is a mainstream brand that is likely more updated and better priced.
