Do not stay here! Our room was filthy and smelled very bad, it had not been cleaned. The toilet seat and back of the toilet seat were covered in hair. The bathroom counter had old toothpaste dried all over it, the floor did not look like it had been vacuumed and in the morning when we could see better we found a pile of toenails on the carpet. The door handle hung from the door. We also passed other rooms where the door didn’t line up and there was a crack around the door. The hallways also looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed and there were big bags of garbage in the halls and there were “security guards” roaming our halls at midnight but they made it feel less safe, I don’t know how to explain that. The man working the night shift was super rude and putting down on the other front desk employees, it was awkward and weird. The lobby was also dirty and needed vacuumed, maybe their vacuum broke, I don’t know. We had planned on two nights here and couldn’t wait to get out after our first night, we checked out asap after the first night. The other employees during the day shift were all nice, that was the only positive about this hotel.

This hotel is awful - the pictures belie reality. It is NOT well maintained, maid service is non-existent (they even tell you not to expect daily cleaning), the rooms are dingy and smelly. The AC unit in our room was loud, smelly and sputtery - blowing right across our faces at night, the air made us sick. The health department should probably inspect. The AC unit in the room above us leaked into our room, and it was obvious that it wasn't the first time that had happened. There were no other rooms available, so no option to move. It's located in a noisy part of town, where bar patrons spill out into the street at all hours, fighting and yelling. There was a drag race in the middle of the night, two nights in a row. Avoid this hotel, the owners (a cruise line?) have completely given up on this property - they don't use the restaurant except to offer stale, dry bread and muffins in the morning. I don't like to leave negative reviews, but our experience was truly that awful, so I hope to spare others, especially since it's so expensive.

I was worried about this property with some of the reviews, but found it to be more than adequate. The room was clean and spacious; but dated. The breakfast was good and plentiful, but mostly all carbs. They have a single cup coffee maker in room. The area around the hotel is very walkable with plenty of dining options.

Staff was not overly helpful…for example they offered $40 parking in front of hotel, but did not offer that they could not guarantee a parking spot…I only discovered that by asking the question… I would have paid $40 to NOT get a spot and then paid again at an adjacent offsite lot. I opted to pay less at the adjacent lot. Room was ok, dated…needs updating. Would look for an alternative place if I stayed in anchorage again. Would recommend the Marriott as an alternative…stayed there the night before and it was much nicer.

We stayed here for a total of 2 nights on separate occasions. We went with the hotel mostly for location and price. Overall I'd say it's a bad value. This hotel is really quite rundown. Aside from the beds which seemed new the furniture was really banged up. Extremely bare bones ameneties. The exterior has a lot of chipping paint and cracks. The first room we got was fairly clean but had an extremely strong cleaner smell which really irritated our throats. The second room did not have the smell issue, but was way less clean. There was stuff left in the trashcan and hairs in the shower and one of the beds. All rooms seem to have noise issues. None of us got a good night's sleep at all. If you have to stay here, do it for a night and get on your way. Don't linger here. I won't rebook this hotel. Parking in their lot is $40 a day. The only pro is the walkable location but there are a lot of homeless camping nearby.

The hotel is old and with limited services . We asked the rooms to be cleaned everyday of our stay (3 nights) and it never happened . The parking is in a public parking lot just outside of the hotel but they charge you 40$! A lot of unhoused peoples. The noise of the street is outrageous ( like if your window was opened! ) Only plus : free breakfast pretty decent and nice staff during the day
