Well, we booked a combo tour of Alaska Cruise under Princess Cruise. Our first day was at The Hotel Captain Cook. The service is decent and restaurant was clean. However, the hotel itself leaves a lot to be desired. As soon as we entered the room, we had problem with TV, the Wifi and the plumbing. When you flush the toilet bowl, it takes time for the water go down. It appears their plumbing is not up to date. Then, the towels given to us are old and worn out. I assumed this hotel is a 4 star.
Gailen at the counter was very helpful with check-in and out and was very hospitable. Monique made an awesome breakfast with a lot of variety to chose from. Bed and pillows were comfortable. All in all it was a pleasant experience. I would recommend this hotel to anyone
Everyone in our group loved the Aloft Hotel. It’s a Marriott Hotel that is new in Anchorage located in Midtown. The rooms are a good size and they are well appointed. All the staff we encountered were friendly and knowledgeable about Anchorage. They readily helped us on several occasions. I definitely recommend this place for Midtown in Anchorage.
NnwobDeal's Bed & Breakfast was a wonderful place to stay in Anchorage. I've seen the b&b described as ” staying at grandmas house”; it is and better. So warm and cozy, the B&B was a welcome home at the end of a long plane flight. The owners accommodated our late arrival and departure without issue. The room was big, comfortable and quiet. The bathroom had a tremendous tub and separate shower with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and of course hand cooked with care and to our liking. The owners are lovely people. Without hesitation, Deal's is highly recommended.
First night, at check in: We were given the key to an occupied room. Walked right in on some guy sleeping before realizing what was going on. They gave us new keys and room number. Their 'system was down', but said that should be the end of our trouble... Second night (after day surgery): we walked in to find all our stuff was gone, room cleaned. Did we walk into the wrong room again? No: The front desk said they had moved us out accidentally, but not to worry: all our dirty clothes and toiletries had been dumped into our suitcase, and they would drop back by our room in a bit. The desk guy asked if there was anything he could do? Yeah: Don't enter my room again until after I check out. I would have asked for a refund but was too afraid of how they'd screw that up also. In years of traveling, never experienced anything like it. Unrelated note: there's a huge vagrant camp across the street (at least they know who's tent is who's).
MMark S5 friends stayed Saturday night on our way to Homer for a fishing trip. Rented 5 rooms. All in all it provided us with a comfortable, clean, safe place to stay that was convenient to the airport. Front desk personnel were friendly and offered helpful suggestions to downtown restaurants. We paid $144 per room using ******* which was a great price in comparison to others. All in all good place to stay which we recommend. Enjoyed breakfast, however the eggs were terrible.
We were expecting low quality since we booked the cheapest hotel we could find within walking distance of the train depot. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find a clean, quiet hotel with incredibly friendly staff and an around the clock free airport shuttle service. Our airport shuttle driver was particularly friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel especially if you're planning on riding the train, it was a very short walk.
