Hotel Captain Cook
Hotel is dated, but very clean. This time of year there’s nothing to do outside. The junior sweet was nice and clean. It was a comfortable stay with restaurants like fletchers close by and open most of the time.

Hilton Anchorage
Everything was good, close to almost everything, but not parking lots, for a good hotel without parking is not good. You have to pay 25 dollars a day for a private parking space.
