This room was so sad and right behind the elevator! When I took a shower the water backed up. Called the front desk to clear and the next morning still backing up. The window in the room had black duck tape closing the window, mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. The carpet was vacuumed but behind the night stand dirty… this trip covered several states and one country. The Sheraton at the Portland airport was great, the Fairmont in Vancouver BC which I paid the same amount of money per night eas great! But the Captain Cook was just sad.

Getting a bit old and run down. Peak season cruise ship overloads restaurants and services leading to poor food and service. Coffee place is excellent.

Nice property with interesting history but not outstanding- furnishings were dated. And with 4:00pm check-in, not much time to take advantage of amenities. Unfortunately we could hear the elevator going up & down all night. At the price we paid, we were disappointed- will not stay there again.

This place is only useful for its location and the fact that most groups and ships collect passengers from here for tours. My son got sick after eating breakfast here within 4 hours. The rooms are old and terrible and way over priced. They don’t care because they probably have contracts with cruise ships that collect passengers from here. It is close to everything that’s the only reason. Our shower wouldn’t drain after one shower and we got placed next to the elevators which really sucked.

The property is way overrated. Toilet flushing like a big bomb going off - so loud. WiFi didn’t work. Staff is not very friendly. However, the hotel charges an outrageous price. Won’t go back again.
