I don't like when hotel rents a room to a person (local) and they bring the whole family and friends for a birthday party and occupy the whole pool and lobby area. It becomes a common thing for hotels with the pools in Anchorage

The staff was wonderful communication about the pool and jacuzzi was fantastic although found a mug root beer soda bottle behind the bed frame and popcorn above the microwave. Enjoyed the fact that the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner was above any where I’ve stayed at.

Disliked: Room comfort

hot water shut off

It was unacceptable to turn the hot water off two days in a row from 8 am until after 3pm. I realize there is never a good time for this but to turn it off before 10 am was crazy. Easily could have done 10 till 5 and had way less negative impact. The fact that the heat didn't work in the first room was not great but you were quick to get us into another room.
