The hotel is conveniently located in downtown, making it easy to access all the nearby restaurants and shops. The rooms, while cozy, had noticeable dust on the end tables, but overall a decent size for a comfortable stay. The service was helpful, though lacking knowledge about certain transportation options. The dining experience left something to be desired with cold scrambled eggs in the morning. The location is great for exploring downtown Anchorage but disappointed with the parking arrangements.

The hotel had a spacious room that could have easily accommodated a table and chairs, but unfortunately, it was pretty shabby with worn carpets, old and scratched table tops, and a filthy phone. Despite this, it did not smell of smoke or dirtiness. The location was ideal for walking around downtown, enjoying some good eats, and being close to the train depot, although parking accommodations were disappointing. The service was average, not terribly friendly, and lacked correct information when needed. The dining experience was good but expensive, and the facilities were average.

After three days of staying, the hotel was nice, despite the rooms being downright dingy and not befitting the HAL brand. The service, although generally polite and helpful, had a mix of unprofessional and rude encounters. The location was fantastic, offering great walking distance to the mall and nightlife, with central access to shopping areas and parks. The dining experience, though good, had its ups and downs with cold scrambled eggs. Despite these, the hotel caters well to Holland America cruise guests.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a nice balcony outside, but they could benefit from an update. The service was accommodating and friendly. It boasts a very central location in Anchorage, providing easy access to all the main attractions and amenities. The dining experience, although priced at $20+ per person, was amazing. Overall, a great stay with a few areas that could be improved.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of key attractions, although some road noise can be heard in rooms. The rooms are clean and fresh but show signs of wear. The service is top-notch with a very helpful and friendly staff, but occasional surly encounters. Dining options are available, but prices are on the higher side. On-site facilities are satisfactory, though some may find them a bit expensive.
