酒店有點老,在房間裏整晚聽到電梯的隆隆聲,很吵! 另外,這個價格沒有牙刷和拖鞋

This is the dirtiest and worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The carpet and sofa felt very dirty after a long time. The next day we asked to clean the room, but the waiter evaded and said that their room was not cleaned every day. It was the first time I heard about it, and then two bath towels were sent as room service. My friend's room carpet was full of hair that had not been cleaned at all, but he lied and said it had been cleaned. The shower gel and shampoo were completely empty, and the next day there was no hot water shower. My friend called and his attitude was very perfunctory. It was a terrible experience. I don't know if it was the hotel's problem or if Ctrip lowered its requirements for the partner. Recently, the hotel experience booked from Ctrip has not been very pleasant

Excellent location at the heart of downtown. However it’s a bit dated. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby all within walking distance. Will stay again if visit anchorage again.

The most iconic hotel in Anchorage, I had to stay even if I could only afford one night. Everything was good, the room was a bit small. Definitely paying big city prices for little old Alaska, which can feel like price gouging.

The Captain Cook Hotel was built in the 1960's and expanded in the 1970"s. It has been well maintained but it is OLD and immense. Bathrooms have original tile. TV's are early flatscreens sitting on a counter (not wall mounted). What is really impressive, however, is how this hotel manages THOUSANDS - REALLY! of guests on tour - mainly Princess Cruise travelers which apparently is its key to survival. Lobby is like a swarm of insects - everywhere you turn there are people in large groups. They all come and go quite satisfactorily but this is not a place for a voluntary stay.

Comfortable and clean room with nice toiletries. We appreciated having a Kurig coffee maker in the room. Bed is comfortable and we were able to walk from the conference center (7 min). Our room had an overhead fan which is a nice touch. The hotel is within walking distance to restaurants in the area.

The hotel is in a great location. Has a lot of personality with nice looking rooms and big bathrooms! The food in the restaurant for breakfast was good and service was acceptable! My only problem was got bite in bed…not sure if fleas, spider or bed bugs( not sure what they have in Alaska?)! So was not a happy camper with raised burning itching red marks on my leg. It’s been almost two weeks and still have the remnants of these bits! So check the bed…

The hotel is centrally located (actually on Main Street). Several restaurants in hotel and we ate dinner at Crows Nest which was great. Views of the area are great and meal was delicious. Our room had a recently renovated bathroom and was very nice. Recommend it as a place to stay

The hotel is in a good location. Easy walk to restaurants and gift shops. There is even a nice neighborhood playground nearby. The staff was very courteous. However I am giving the hotel a 3 because of the elevator. When we left for dinner we were told the elevators are not working. We carried a 2 year old and a stroller down 15 flights of stairs. When we came back from dinner the elevators were working. Our 2 year old fell asleep. When we were getting ready for bed we heard what sounded like someone dragging a suitcase across the room. We thought they were taking luggage to rooms. We went to bed and realized we were next to the elevators. The noise continued throughout the night. It was too late to complain since our 2 year old was asleep. I wore earplugs but the noise was so loud it still kept me awake. When we complained the next day we were told we have to talk to Princess. Princess said they received other complaints about the elevator. If you do stay at the hotel, make sure you do not get a room by the elevator!
