This hotel has several buildings of different vintage. We were in the original building with some challenges. The bathroom door did not close and there was very low water pressure in the shower. More like a dribble of water.

The bathtub was covered in mold and absolutely disgusting. Dont sleep on first floor bc you can hear everything people in room above you do. For over 300 per night, this was a terrible place

2/10

Horrible. Don’t stay here. Room was dirty and air did not work. Only got a different room because other guests witnessed our frustration. Power went out at midnight, ans staff was too incompetent to know how to flip a breaker. Unsafe area, worst hotel in Anchorage. Don’t stay here. We should have slept in our rental car.
