The Cook this time of year is used by flight crews on overnights, and lawyers with matters at the state courthouses across the street. Federal Court is a bit of a walk.

It was a pleasant, quiet, clean room, with separate toilet from sink (good for several people sharing a room). I would have liked queen-sized beds.

hotel is nice, comfortable. The breakfast options and food were very good. The Crows Nest restaurant was ok, but there are better restaurants in walking distance. Very convenient to downtown Anchorage.
