We got a pretty decent deal (around $100/night). You could tell the hotel was old (bad water pressure, slow drains, etc) but it was keep up really well. If the room ran around the regular price I've seen of $200-250/night, it wouldn't be as good of a value. Just a heads up, the majority of the guests are snobby douchbags.
Pros (+) The bed was comfy.
Cons (-) The amenities seems small and the decor needs an update. The staff was very accommodating and polite. The fitness center was well equipped
Pros (+) The staff were amazing!
Pros (+) Alaska Business Hotel
Cons (-) TV was very small :)
Pros (+) Friendly staff. Good restaurants and interesting shops. Good central location.
Pros (+) Valet parking, friendly staff, great location, clean, plenty to do at the hotel. The view from the hotel was amazing.
Pros (+) That you get treated like royalty for an amazing price get oysters upstairs dance the night away.
Pros (+) The views, service, location and atmosphere were spectacular. Understated and friendly. Could have stayed forever.
Cons (-) Valet parking is expensive, but very convenient.
Pros (+) The location was wonderful.
Cons (-) Both times we stayed there, about a week apart, we were given rooms right next to the elevators which ran all night long.
