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.
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.
Company made an error in booking the hotel 1 day later, but this wasn't a problem friendly receptionist made the change and off I went to my room. Very spacious room, kitchen area, comfortable bed with choice of hard or soft pillows. Walk in shower. Next morning a very good breakfast spread a very large choice.
