4.5 stars with a view overlooking the Cook Inlet
The stay was great. The amenities were great. The two things that bothered me were the bedroom tv didn’t work and the toilet would flush loudly for about 45 seconds. Other than those two minor things the stay was great. Room service was delicious and not overpriced.

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 .
