Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Overall it was a nice place. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Same thing everyday. Also I asked to have them put a couple ice packs in the freezer the night before we left, the staff member who did it must not understand ice packs go in the freezer not the fridge, so they never froze.”
“They may not be perfect, but they will make it right! They forgot to transfer my luggage onto the train, and the manager personally drove my luggage from Seward to Anchorage in the middle of the night so that I could continue on my road trip to my grandson's home the next morning. The staff are great. Thanks Billy! The rooms were clean, the continental breakfast was decent enough. I would definitely go back.”
“Pretty good rooms and hotels. Location is fantastic. Onsite laundry makes it pretty convenient for long trips. They provide common microwaves on each floor”
