Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The gym was divided into men's and women's area however the women's area was disappointing. Very few weights, no squat rack and lackluster. The hotel was centrally located to restaurants and shops

This was the best hotel we stayed at in Anchorage. I loved the food at the rooftop restaurant. It felt like an old-school fancy restaurant. The stores were definitely several notches above other hotel stores. Unique things and not a bunch of junk. The room was quiet and clean. I wish we stayed here the whole time. Cruise crowd was a little bit of a bummer but I can see why they would want to make this place available to exclusive cruises .
