Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were quiet and very reasonably priced compared to our usual choices, though the menu offered was moderate. The hotel's rooms were luxurious and impressive.
The hotel offers nice, clean, and spacious rooms. While it can be a bit hot in the winter, requiring the use of the air conditioner, the rooms come equipped with a mini refrigerator, large bathroom, extra seating, and a nice size desk, ensuring a comfortable and roomy stay. The service is professional and helpful, although there might be room for improvement in addressing customer complaints. The location is convenient, although tricky to access, being right off a major highway. The dining options are varied, and the facilities offer a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was just fine. The rooms were nice, clean, and spacious with comfortable queen beds, a flat-screen TV, microwave, fridge, and a work area. The location was convenient, close to essential places, and easy to access. The service was accommodating and friendly, making me feel welcome. Dining options were okay, and the facilities met my needs.
This hotel comes at a very attractive price point compared to our usual choices. The room was clean and equipped with a microwave & refrigerator, though we didn't use them. It was slightly smaller than other 2 queen rooms, but it was ready when we checked in. The service was top-notch, with professional and polite staff on different shifts. However, the dining experience was not up to par, being quite badly run. The location is convenient, allowing easy access to essential places like Fred Meyers and Walmart. It's right off the New Seward Highway, close to downtown, and various restaurants.
The hotel's location is convenient, close to essential places, but getting in and out can be tricky. The rooms are spacious, clean, and offer various amenities making it comfortable. The service was friendly and helpful, although a bit inconsistent. The dining experience was quick and efficient. Overall, it offers good value for money.
During our second stay, the hotel offered rooms with old furniture and carpeting but were clean and spacious, equipped with amenities like WIFI, TV with good channels, fridge, microwave, and a desk. The service was exceptional with super friendly staff, though breakfast service was poorly managed. The location was convenient with nearby restaurants and stores within walking distance. Overall, a decent value for money choice.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, allowing my boys to rest after their ball games before we explored Anchorage together. While the early check-in request was handled well, the service could be more accommodating. The location was convenient, situated off the Seward Highway, near essential places. The dining options, including room service, were satisfactory, and the facilities met my needs.
When my boys finished their ball games, we could all go out and enjoy Anchorage together instead of them riding the bus home. The hotel was clean and had both a microwave and refrigerator, though we didn't use them. The rooms offer Wi-Fi, TV with lots of good channels, a fridge with a small freezer, microwave, and a desk, along with a moderate menu.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was convenient. However, the dining options were limited, and the entrance to the property was a bit tricky to navigate.
