Historic hotel with very nice and helpful staff. Great little cafe where you can get a good cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich to go. Great location also on Anchorage. We had a huge suite and didn’t arrive until after midnight but front desk folks were super helpful.

The hotel is excellent, and the staff is outstanding. They were able to get our group of six rooms all on the same floor right next to one another that was utterly fantastic. They are very cordial and work with us extremely well, especially the fact that we’re extremely loud and obnoxious.

This is an older hotel and can use updating. The toilets are also too low and I suspect the elderly would have difficulty using them. It is conveniently located in downtown Anchorage. We stayed one night before our cruise the next day. It is overpriced for what you get and I would suggest staying elsewhere that is a mainstream brand that is likely more updated and better priced.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The lobby and grounds were absolutely beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. And the location was perfect. It is walking distances from shops and restaurants and the visitor center. The room I stayed in was very expensive, dark, and in need of updating. The light bulbs were mismatched; for example, over the vanity there were 6-8 lights but two or three were bright and the others were soft. The soaps and lotions were male oriented (they smelled like cologne). Alaska is beautiful, but it can be dark. To have all the furnishings old and dark, and then to have the lighting so dark was disappointing and a bit depressing. I understand the "old world" theme, but polish the brass, use furniture that coordinates with other pieces, and brighter lighting

Very likely upscale and nice 10+years ago. Many places are in need up an overhaul it upgrade. Especially the guest rooms. The pool area isn’t functional at all for children and that was disappointing. We ate at Fletchers twice and it was great, and the service was even better. The art galleries were amazing! Service was great. Definitively needs some updating though.
