The hotel was adequate for our needs. We didn't actually sleep there, but used a room as a place to relax between a long drive and a red-eye flight. If we were to stay overnight, we'd look for another place. The best thing about the place was the shuttle driver, I think his name was Patrick, who was courteous and charming. The restaurants across the street were closed the day we were there, so we walked about 5 minutes to another hotel that had a restaurant.

Worst hotel in Alaska

Horrible. Don’t stay here. Room was dirty and air did not work. Only got a different room because other guests witnessed our frustration. Power went out at midnight, ans staff was too incompetent to know how to flip a breaker. Unsafe area, worst hotel in Anchorage. Don’t stay here. We should have slept in our rental car.

I booked an economy room as it was rated good. We were put in a separate building which was difficult to get to with heavy suitcases. Then we had to haul the suitcases up narrow outside stairs. The room was tiny, hot, and the air conditioning did not work. The bathroom was the size of a closet. We decided to upgrade the room and ended up in a room where a homeless man was hiding out. That was scary. We were finally sent to a room that was clean and had an acceptable bathroom. Not a good experience! We stayed the second night but canceled our next reserved night and will go else where. Horrible check in experience and would not recommend this place to anyone.

Noisy. Drunks walking around. Ac didnt work, didnt think we needed it but it was actually hot that day in Alaska. They just gave us a cheap fan. Opened the windows but the smell of pot was too much. The staff was nice but not worth the price

We were staying here overnight before our cruise. It was perfect for an overnight stay. Everything was neat, clean and organized. The shuttle drivers were very helpful. They loaded and unloaded our luggage for us. It was a great "continental" breakfast. Normally that means coffee and pastry. This had waffles, eggs, cereal. Something anyone could eat. If we go back to Anchorage, we will definately stay here.
