The hotel was pretty average. It feels like its heyday was a decade or two ago and is in need of some TLC. The property is maintained, but at a pretty basic level. Tub inserts, residential window unit ACs, standard box spring beds, well-worn hallway carpet, and squeaky flooring. For the Summer rates, I had higher expectations, to be honest. The rooms were larger than typical newer builds, though, so there was plenty of room to leave suitcases open. The most disappointing aspect was the restaurant. It had been talked up, so maybe expectations were set too high. The overall value of the experience just wasn't there. We stayed at a newly remodeled property downtown at the start of our trip and had a much better experience with similar costs.

I’m not quite certain why this place gets so many bad reviews. It’s how it’s described. Not fancy, solid rooms, comfy beds. It’s pretty basic for a mid-range hotel. We did not have a view but that didn’t matter for us. We had been looking at Alaskan mountains for 10 days. If you are high maintenance, you may want to stay elsewhere. If you are laid back, this place is solid.

When I checkrd in they took my credit card for incidentals. When I checked my credit card statement, they had charged me full price for the room after I had already paid through Travelocity. I brought it to the attention of the front desk and they told me there was a computer glitch. I will check tomorrow to see if I have received a credit..

This hotel is pretty rundown. Definitely needs some updating. Grounds were not well maintained. Carpets need to be cleaned in the hallways. They were in the process of replacing some wallpaper and there was a terrible chemical smell. The neighborhood is not great either. There’s a marijuana dispensary directly across the street, a park just up the street that seems to be filled with homeless/people that appear to be under the influence.

Not a great value

Very dated and not in great condition. Refrigerator was broken and toilet didn’t flush well. Bathtub drain was clogged but they serviced it when we asked. The restaurants pad good food and nice servers but was very slow. VERY slow. Need 90 minutes for breakfast three mornings and was told they didn’t have enjoy help. Great location tho with the airport nearby and the boat planes taking off. Overall it was extremely over priced. Five star cost, two star accommodations.
