Good stay
Pros:

Comfy beds, new rooms, location.

Cons:

Pay to park right outside the hotel, only payment options was with QR code and phone, but site was blocked as it was a foreign number. It's Alaska, so much space and you need to pay $15......

Expensive for an average room
Pros:

the hotel photos are very nice, the big fireplace, the lobby, the restuarant.

Cons:

the room was crowded with furniture and the window opened to a busy street. We requested a water view but had a parking garage view. Very noisy with traffic. Better windows that were sound proof would have helped. Bathroom was very small with no counter top space to put toiletries, etc. Just overall way too expensive for a noisy, average room with no view.

Okay for short stay
Pros:

Front desk staff were great to talk to

Cons:

The room was really dark and had low ceiling. It felt really cramped. There was hardly any place to open the suitcase.

They didn't clean the room and told us that we should have asked for it. There was no communication about it anywhere though

Disappointed. I grew up there and know how bad downtown is but the hotel should train and manage their staff to care abo
Pros:

The location was great

Cons:

The staff were a hit and miss. The lady that checked me in was great. The staff who are supposed to to help with the luggage are not. Had to pay to park and go around the cruise ship crowd and grab a trollley. As I go the elevator I get interrupted by a man not in uniform about where I am going and I said to get my baggage. Also the bar and restaurant staff were inattentive and rude. Again one female staff member seemed to care while everyone else was too busy doing other stuff or acting tough.

Nice modern option for lodging in Anchorage
Pros:

Appears to have been recently remodeled. Rooms were spacious and nicely decorated. The roof top bar and outdoor patio for dining was great.

Cons:

The hotel is very long. Our room was a long distance from the lobby.
