This is the dirtiest and worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The carpet and sofa felt very dirty after a long time. The next day we asked to clean the room, but the waiter evaded and said that their room was not cleaned every day. It was the first time I heard about it, and then two bath towels were sent as room service. My friend's room carpet was full of hair that had not been cleaned at all, but he lied and said it had been cleaned. The shower gel and shampoo were completely empty, and the next day there was no hot water shower. My friend called and his attitude was very perfunctory. It was a terrible experience. I don't know if it was the hotel's problem or if Ctrip lowered its requirements for the partner. Recently, the hotel experience booked from Ctrip has not been very pleasant

Excellent location at the heart of downtown. However it’s a bit dated. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby all within walking distance. Will stay again if visit anchorage again.

The most iconic hotel in Anchorage, I had to stay even if I could only afford one night. Everything was good, the room was a bit small. Definitely paying big city prices for little old Alaska, which can feel like price gouging.

酒店有點老,在房間裏整晚聽到電梯的隆隆聲,很吵! 另外,這個價格沒有牙刷和拖鞋

Outdated Outdated hotel. Rooms were clean but about 2 decades past prime. Also the doors slammed loudly at night keeping you up. I would try one of the newer motels if I visited again.

Super nostalgic, well kept, great service. Could use a few modern updates, but Fletchers seems to be up to speed. Didnt try the Crows Nest. Pool was kind of creepy in the basement.

I stayed in a Jr. suite and it is worth the money! I love the space, the view and having the wet bar. Made me wish they were back in style; so classy and convenient. Not just for cocktails but for just drinks and having a sink area for snacks.

AWESOME We had an amazing deluxe suite with a lot of wonderful scenery. Coffee machine worked well. The staff was excellent and timely. Had dinner at Fletcher's which was delicious.

One of the few times you’ll hear me complain about the Cook. Word to the wise, ask for a room away from the elevators. It was noisy…
