Horrible
Pros:

Hotel was absolutely filthy from lobby, to hallways to the room. Expensive and an absolute dump. We have over 150 relatives living in Alaska and have already told most of them how truly gross your hotel is!

Cons:

Everything!!

Pros:

Rooms were absolutely disgusting; the entire hotel was dirty the service at the lakeside restaurant was so bad we walked out. I will never refer my clients to this hotel, the hallways were littered with trash and smelled awful.

Over all ok, but expensive.
Pros:

Location near the sea planes was nice as we love small planes! Buffett breakfast was very good, but a bit pricey. The shuttle downtown was great!

Cons:

The cost was extremely high, compared to what we got. The rooms are ok, the staff was pretty good, but the price was insanely high for what we got, but that’s Alaska I guess.

Smelley dated room
Cons:

The room was old and dated and smelled like a wet dog. I have stayed here many times over the last 8 years and am a millennial member, but it seems like they are just concerned about volume and not quality.These rooms need to be remodeled. Will not stay here again at these prices until this gets fixed. They can keep screwing the unsuspecting tourist as I am not one of them. Thank - god for the bar!!!
