Positive: Great seating in common area. Ease of parking. On-site restaurants. Central location. Fancy Moose and Flying Machine staff pleasant. Can open windows in rooms. Negative: seems rundown in hallways. Front desk staff often unstaffed and not overly welcoming. Useless soap in room.

Terrible! They didn’t like that I got rooms through kayak! They wouldn’t let me stay another night because I had cash! Which is a legal tender! They put me on a floor that was being renovated! Walls were tore up! Just a terrible experience! Especially since I was making Alaska my home! The cleaning people were the nicest people there. And the the shuttle guys. Anyone especially supervisors and man...

Pros (+) Good breakfast.
Cons (-) Workers take smoke breaks right outside the guest windows of some room so you wake up the the stench of nicotine if you have the window open. This was reported to the front desk in a written note but sadly no reply from management.

Pros (+) We spent our last night in Anchorage at the Lakefront before flying home after an extended 2 week vacation. I picked the hotel because of the location near the airport. I really wish we had stayed there longer as it was a beautiful hotel with an amazing view of the Lake with seaplanes landing and taking off. There is a bar and restaurant with great views. We didn't sit outside in the patio because...

Pros (+) I'm an incredibly high strung guy who demands a lot of myself, so I always know when I travel Alaska that I need to be more present to the amazing geography and lower my standards on the room I'll barely spend any time in while enjoying the outdoors. I travel to Anchorage one a quarter and have noticed that the Starvrating system isn't quite the same as the lower 48 states. With that said I was in...
Cons (-) Nothing notable... However, I had an odd experience. I hydrate a lot on trips and typically go through a gallon a day. One night I ran out of water and I searched the hotel for bottled water, but there were zero options. Every single vending machine in the hotel was stocked full of soda and multiple brands of energy drinks. I ended up driving to a nearby gas station for some H2o. Not a big deal...
